Regis L. Kosko

Regis Leonard Kosko, 82, of North Huntingdon, passed away peacefully on March 3, 2026.

Regis L. Kosko was born in McKeesport to Frank J. and Catherine G. (Kapolka) Kosko on October 12, 1943. He was raised in West Mifflin, and built a life defined by hard work, quiet faith, and a warm smile that welcomed everyone he met.

Regis wore many hats over the course of his working life — laboring in the steel mills, serving as a letter carrier, and working with Cleveland/Price. Before his civilian career, he proudly served his country as an Army Military Policeman stationed in Germany during the Vietnam era. He carried that sense of duty with him long after his service ended.

At home, Regis was a man of his hands and his faith. He found joy in his woodworking, tending his garden, and being an active, devoted member of St. Agnes Church — where he served as an usher and ran the dice tables at the parish bazaar with characteristic enthusiasm. Those who knew him there knew him as dependable, cheerful, and always present.

Though he was a private person by nature, Regis had a gift for warmth — reserved deeply for his children and those he held close but always offered with quiet politeness to the strangers he crossed paths with.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife Patricia, who passed on February 17, 2018, and by his siblings Audrey Cheke, Richard Kosko, and Ronald Kosko.

Regis is survived by his children Frank Kosko, Jeffrey Kosko, and Grace (Kosko) Edwardo; his grandchildren Nathan, Kassandra, and Brianna; and his great-grandchildren Savannah, Chandler, Lucas, and Lyanna — four little ones who carry his legacy forward.

He will be deeply missed and long remembered.
