Thanks, Nick for all you tried to do for the community! Rest In Peace.
So sad, so young. The community just lost one of its best. He cared so much.
Nick did work for us for a couple years. Nicest guy in the world and a very hard worker. Too young. RIP
I think this is one you should probably delete. That the sole memory of him you've published involves a confrontation with one of your enemies is pretty lousy. I didn't know him from Adam, but I'm sure his life was much more than run ins with the school board.
Agree with him or not, Nick Meduho was not afraid to confront our local public servants when he thought it necessary, and he was one of the very few who had enough conviction in his views to sign his name to his posts on this Blog. Even his enemies on the school board should pause and give him credit for being a stand-up guy. RIP.
Condolences to his family. He was a good man.
Nicholas V. Meduho Jr. age 55 of Mt. Lebanon passed away suddenly on Thursday, October 26, 2017.
Born on November 18, 1961, he was the loving son of Nicholas V. Meduho Sr. and the late Dolores Meduho.
Beloved brother of Beth (Rick) Magyan; dear uncle of Richard Magyan; nephew of Sophie Foster and Vincent N. Meduho; also survived by many cousins.
Nicholas was an avid Motocross Rider and was a treasurer for District 5 Motorcycle Club Inc. He enjoyed fishing and biking. He had a successful lawncare business and was also an advisor for Primerica Investments.
A service will be held at Mt. Lebanon Cemetery Mausoleum at a date to be announced.
Please view and sign the family’s online guestbook at www.cremationfuneralcare.com.
No, 4:44 PM, you're not going to spin this one. Nick was a very private person. I really didn't know anything about him. All we ever talked about was the crap that was going on in the municipality and the school district. He was very frustrated that Mary Birks was covering everything up. He was spending a fortune on RTKs because she would always say that they would get back to him and they never would. He said so in that clip I included. She really upset him. Mary has to live with that now. She was extremely rude to him. Meeting after meeting. Nick was a really nice guy, but our elected officials treated him like shit.
He had so many outstanding RTKS because everything would be delayed for the full thirty five days. I have filed a RTK for all of his outstanding RTKs. They are not getting off the hook that easily.
I do know that Nick had a lot of respect for Stephen Strotmeyer, Mike Riemer, and Hugh Beal. They were always most respectful to him. The administration, well, 4:44 PM will try to shut me down again. I'll leave that all to your imaginations.

I agree with you 4:44. It’s crappy to use his death like that. Honoring the death of a friend should simply be that. Using his death to blast Mary Birds (yet again broken record) is well petty.
I’m sure you won’t approve this as not all posts like this get posted. But at least you’ll have read this and hopefully recognize your error.
I am really sorry to hear this. He spoke truth to power and I am stunned by the cold reception he got. Not only did Mary Birks and Steinheur look away and down, avoiding all eye contact and empathy, Birks literally told him she wouldn’t answer his questions. If you want the definition of cold, cruel and silencing of civil engagement you have it right there in that clip. To think he died shortly after that meeting is so unbelievably sad. This town and region is so devoid of compassion and truth it’s time for those who can to be brave, speak up, vote and demand much, much better. RIP Nick M. I’ll remember your commitment to truth and transparency.

I am so very sorry to read about Nick's passing! He was much too young.
I didn't know Nick, but I see that he was person who cared about the truth. I watched the board meeting video. I felt so bad for Nick. He was respectful at the meeting -- yet he was met with rudeness, and his questions were not answered. How very upsetting. I really hope that people are noticing this type of behavior!
I was shocked to hear this morning of Nick's sudden death last Thursday evening. He was tireless in his efforts at holding public officials to accountability for their decisions and their actions, and he showed a persistence and determination seldom seen in private citizens. Throughout all the dismissive and disrespectful responses Nick was subjected to, he managed to remain respectful and reasonable as he presented facts and not opinions. It was an honor to have known and worked with Nick on some of the issues he cared so deeply about, and it was a joy to have had the occasional opportunities to interact with him outside the context of the public meetings. Nick was a kind and caring human being, willing to offer a helping hand when he knew one was needed. I will miss his voice of measured confrontation at Commission meetings, but I will miss his presence in the process even more. This community has lost a shining light, and those of us privileged to have known him have also lost a friend.
