Paul Albert Linn, Jr., age 77, of Dravosburg, PA, passed away on Saturday, August 2, 2025, at home with his loving family by his side after a brief battle with cancer. He was born in McKeesport, PA, on January 1, 1948, and is the son of the late Paul Albert, Sr. and Dorothy Beam Linn.
He was a proud United States Navy Veteran. Paul served in the Vietnam War on the USS Talladega (APA-208) from 1965 until 1968. He retired from Balfour Beatty in 2008 after forty years in the construction industry. Paul was a member of the Dravosburg American Legion Post #380, Wilson VFW Post #830, Laborers Union #1058.
He was known around Dravosburg as “Uncle Paul.” If he wasn’t on the sidelines rooting for his grandkids sporting events, he could be found sitting on his front porch or “putzing around” his yard or garden.
Paul is survived by his wife of fifty three years, Judith “Judy” Linn of Dravosburg, PA; daughters, Tracie Urquhart of South Park, PA; and Heather (Chris) Loveland of South Park, PA; grandchildren, Rachel Urquhart; Tyler Urquhart; Broden Urquhart; Cameron Loveland; and Caden Loveland; sister-in-law, Arleen Linn of Dravosburg, PA; along with nephews; niece; and niece-in-laws.
In addition to his parents, Paul is preceded in death by his brother, James E. “Jim” Linn, Sr.; sister, Carole Jean Moon; and nephew, Rev. James E. Linn, Jr.
Arrangements were cared for by Strifflers of Dravosburg/West Mifflin, Inc., 740 Pittsburgh McKeesport Blvd., Dravosburg, PA 15034 (412-678-6192). In honor of Paul’s commitment to our country a burial will take place at the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies in Bridgeville, PA, in the future.
Remembrances may be made in Paul’s name to the American Cancer Society, P.O. Box 6704, Hagerstown, MD 217741 or the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center, 5150 Centre Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15232.
