Thomas J. "Shaky" "Slick" Rieder

 

Thomas J. "Shaky" "Slick" Rieder, 74, of St. Marys, passed away on Thursday, August 13, 2026 at Penn Highlands Elk with his loving family by his side following a lengthy illness.

He was born on December 20, 1951 in St. Marys, PA, a son of the late Thomas Rieder, Sr. and Irene Wurm Rieder.

On July 7, 1973, he married the love of his life, Margaret Shoup, who preceded him in death in 2002. Together they shared more than 29 years of love and marriage.

Tom was a graduate of St. Marys High School, class of 1969 and was a member of Sacred Heart Church. Tom retired from DiNardo Paving after many years of service, but retirement certainly didn't mean sitting still. For a number of years afterward, he could be found mowing grass at the cemetery, always keeping busy. Tom was a longtime member of the PFL, American Legion and the K of C, where many hours were spent there telling old stories, remembering the good old days, laughing with his buddies, and making a few new memories along the way.

Tom was truly a character who had an incredible memory, rarely forgot a face or a story, and was almost never seen without one of his signature bandannas. He loved listening to some old country, but could often be found sitting in his Jeep with AC/DC cranked up. He enjoyed life's simple pleasures, good friends, the outdoors, a good story, and doing things exactly the way he wanted to do them. He was blessed with many wonderful friendships throughout his life and is survived by numerous dear friends, including Dude Bauer, Mike Samick, Stan Meyer, and Todd and Kim Taylor. But of all the people and things Tom loved, nothing compared to his wife. She was, without question, the love of his life and held the biggest place in his heart. Tom leaves behind a family he dearly loved, plenty of stories, plenty of laughs, and the kind of memories his family and friends will still be talking about for years to come-probably with a little old country or AC/DC playing in the background.

He is survived by three children; Allison (Stephen "Haggar") Auman of St. Marys, Wesley (Stephanie) Rieder, of Emporium, PA, and Russ Rieder of Tioga County; by his eight beloved grandchildren, one great-grandchild and was anticipating the birth of another great-grandson.

He is also survived by four siblings; Tim (Karen) Rieder of St. Marys, Ken Rieder of St. Marys, Mark (Tracy) Rieder of Emporium, and Paul (Stacy) Rieder of Colorado, as well as by numerous nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents and his wife, Tom was preceded in death by his sisters-in-law; Christine Rieder and Mary Beth Muhitch.

A Mass of Christian Burial for Thomas J. Rieder will be celebrated on Wednesday, August 19, 2026 at 12:00 PM at Sacred Heart Church, 337 Center Street, St. Marys, PA 15857.

Burial will follow in the St. Marys Catholic Cemetery.

There will be no public visitation.

Memorial Contributions may be made to a favorite charity.

Lynch-Green Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 151 N. Michael Street, St. Marys, PA 15857 is handling the arrangements and online condolences may be offered to the family at

HARRISBURG – Rep. Martin Causer (R-Cameron/McKean/Potter) today announced 15 school entities in the region will be receiving more than $1.9 million in School Safety and Mental Health Grants through the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD).

Todd Paul Stoltz

 

Todd Paul Stoltz, age 60, of DuBois, PA passed away peacefully at home on August 13, 2026, surrounded lovingly by his family.

Born on September 17, 1965 in Philipsburg, PA, Todd was the son of the late Ronald and Florence Stoltz.

Todd was a 1983 graduate of DuBois Central Catholic, where he met his high school sweetheart, Beth Ann (Hassan) Stoltz. He went on to graduate from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 1987 with a degree in Management Information Systems. That same year, on October 10, Todd married Beth. They would have celebrated their 39th wedding anniversary this fall.

In addition to his wife, Todd is survived by his daughters and sons-in-law, Rebecca and Joshua Novak and Rachel and Darren Olivio; his three beautiful granddaughters, Adley and Ahna Novak and Alaina Olivio; and his granddaughter-to-be, Emery Paul Olivio, who is expected to join the family in November. He is also survived by his Havanese pup, Ruger.

Todd shared a strong and special bond with his siblings and in-laws. He is survived by Deb and Barry Miller, Eric and Cindy Stoltz, Mark and Sharon Stoltz, Sally and Greg Wigfield, Harry and Biz Stoltz, Steve and BJ Stoltz, and Mike and Julie Hassan. He was lovingly referred to by his in-laws, Joe and Loretta Hassan, as their “favorite son-in-law.” Loretta preceded him in death in May 2021.

Todd believed the most important things in life were Faith, Family, and Friends. He was a member of Holy Spirit Parish and lived his life rooted in faith, always putting his trust in God. He was a devoted husband, loving father, loyal brother and friend, and, most importantly to him, “Papa.”

Todd was a successful business owner, partner, boss, and mentor to many. He owned and operated Stoltz Family Dealerships for more than 30 years before retiring and selling the business in June 2023.

Throughout his life, Todd was deeply committed to his community. He served on numerous boards, volunteered as a “Big Brother” through Big Brothers Big Sisters, and was always looking for ways to support local charities and those in need. Todd was a man of generosity and compassion. In 2023, he and Beth established the Stoltz Charitable Fund as a way to give back to the community and help others. One of Todd’s biggest and most consistent requests in the time before his passing was that his family continue to find ways to help and support people and organizations in need.

Todd’s greatest legacy will be the love he gave so freely—to his family, his friends, his community, and to anyone who needed a helping hand. His faith, generosity, kindness, and love for his family will live on through all who were fortunate enough to know him.

Visitation will be held on Sunday, August 16, 2026 from 1 PM until 4 PM at the Baronick Funeral Home & Crematorium, Inc.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Monday, August 17, 2026 at 10 AM from Holy Spirit Parish at St. Catherine of Siena with Fr. John Malthaner as celebrant.

Burial will be in St. Michael Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial donations be made to DuBois Central Catholic, PO Box 567, DuBois, PA 15801 and/or UPMC Hillman Cancer Center, Developmental Office, UPMC Cancer Pavillion, 5150 Centre Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15232 (Attn: Melanoma Research) or to a local charity close to your own heart, in memory of Todd.
