Louis “Lou” Corletto, 91 of Wilmerding, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family, on Wednesday, June 16, 2021. Beloved husband of the late Catherine "Kate" (Salina) Corletto.

Preceded in death by his parents, Angelo and Carmella (Cacevella) Corletto; and niece, MaryJo Romano. Lou proudly worked as an aircraft mechanic and later retired from WABCO as a core maker and machinist. He kept active during retirement by working as a security guard for Keystone Commons, where he worked into his 80s.
