Edward Paul ‘Starsky’ Staryarsky South Park, formerly of Rostraver Township
Edward Paul “Starsky” Staryarsky, passed away on Saturday, March 13, 2021, at the age of 67. Starsky was born on June 29, 1953, to Joseph and Pauline Staryarsky in Hunker, Pa. Starsky was a jack of all trades: paramedic, surveyor, contractor, builder, bouncer, ski patroller, business owner, inventor, polka band musician, mountain man and friend to all. He could do and did anything that he set his mind to. He met his wife, Gloria, while working at Seven Springs Resort. Over the course of their marriage, Starsky designed and built two homes that his family grew together in. His ongoing battle with multiple sclerosis showed his courage in facing life’s challenges with his smile and carefree attitude. Despite the pain, Starsky was a true hero in his battle and stayed strong until the end. Starsky was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Pauline V. Staryarsky. He is survived by his wife Gloria, his children, Edward of Hoboken, N.J., and Michaelene of El Paso, Texas; one granddaughter, Lordyn Star of El Paso, Texas; brothers, Joseph, William and Thomas; sisters, Patricia and Ann; as well as several nephews and nieces.
