Ronal "Eagle" G Piovesan

Ronal "Eagle" G. Piovesan soared away to heaven on July 7,2024 at 6:22 pm at Independence Hospital in Greensburg, PA at the age of 90. He was born in Shaner, PA on January 13,1934. He is preceded in death by his mother, Katherine Ivsic Piovesan and father George Jacob Piovesan, both of West Newton. Ron was the owner of Piovesan Construction, which operated for over 50 years in the West Newton area. He was known to many in the surrounding area for his stock car racing at Motordrome, Smuckers, Lernerville, Jennerstown and other dirt tracks in the tri-state area during the 60’s and 70’s with the record setting # 22 car and of course his nickname “Eagle”, which he acquired as a young boy during Boy Scouts. Eagle served in the U.S Army during the late 1950’s in Germany as a heavy machinery service man. He was discharged with a Good Conduct Medal and Superior Marksmanship awards. Many around the area remember his fast cars and daredevil antics both on and off the track. Most of all he was quite proud of his commitment and dedication to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Ron was preceded in death by his brother Robert Piovesan, Shaner, PA and a great grandson, Devon Capasso of Latrobe. He is survived also by his sister, Reta Zupanc. He was father to his twin daughters Ranelle (Bryan) Harhai of Greensburg and Renee (Robert) Deglau of Greensburg and stepson Steve Bush of Indiana. Also surviving are grandchildren Angela (Adam) Brinker, Matthew (Amanda) Capasso, Ryan (Kati) Deglau, Ross (Rebecca) Deglau, Rebecca (John) Sinclair and great-grandchildren Enzo Capasso, Carden Deglau, Isaiah Sinclair, Mya Sinclair, Christian Sinclair and Ryleigh Sinclair. We want to thank his special friends Bill (Smokey) Baird, Jim Tuscano, Alan and Kitty Fulmer,as well as the staff at Independence Hospital in Greensburg, Heartland Hospice care and Ron’s Church Family for their exceptional support during his transition to heaven.
