Mr. Steven L. Wood, 61, of Orrtanna, PA and formerly of Westfield, NY, died Wednesday, November 18, 2020 at UPMC Presbyterian hospital in Pittsburgh, PA while surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Fort Dix, NJ on April 7, 1959 to the late Raymond A. and Bessie E. (Lloyd) Wood, both of Westfield, NY.
Steve was a 1977 graduate of Westfield Academy High School and in 1996 received his B.S. Degree in Liberal Arts from The University of the State of NY.
