Albert Ondo

Albert “Pappy” Ondo, 92, of West Mifflin, PA, residing with his daughter’s family in Elizabethtown, KY, died Tuesday, September 8, 2020 at their home.

He served in the U.S. Navy as a Fighting Seabee in the Pacific Area of Operations during World War II. Albert was retired from the U.S. Steel Corporation. Albert was gentle and kind.

Albert was especially proud of his family members who served in the U.S. Military, his siblings, especially his brother PFC Frank, KIA on D-Day +1, two sons, and six grandchildren.
