Maurice F. Witkowski, 91, of Weirton, passed away peacefully Monday, April 25, 2011 at home. Born July 20, 1919 in Steubenville, OH, he was the son of the late Joseph and Agnes (Krosky) Witkowski. He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Mary; 2 brothers, Joseph "Lefty" and Edwin Witkowski; 5 sisters, Elizabeth, Martha, Agnes, Marie, his twin, and Louise. He served his country in the U.S. Army during World War II and was a Pearl Harbor survivor. He was employed by Weirton Steel in the Transportation Department.
