Letter to the editor: Funari best for Murrysville Council

I cannot think of a better person to be elected to Murrysville Council than my neighbor, Brad Funari.

Funari is the kind of neighbor everyone wishes they had. He is looking out for you even when you don’t realize it. Several years ago, I witnessed firsthand his financial aptitude, leadership and commitment to holding people in positions of trust accountable when he uncovered serious discrepancies in our neighborhood association’s finances. He sacrificed his time, educated the neighbors and facilitated a resolution for our benefit while holding those accountable for their wrongdoing. It is this type of financial astuteness, attention to detail and selflessness that will greatly benefit the residents of Murrysville.

In his almost 20-year career, Funari’s intelligence, sound judgment, strategic thinking and legal acumen have earned him recognition by his peers as one of the Best Lawyers in America. He also serves on several local nonprofit boards of directors, including Pressley Ridge, Pitt Law School and the Mother of Sorrows Church pastoral council.

Despite these accomplishments, I just know Funari as the caring, patient father to five wonderful children who quietly leads by example, from organizing neighborhood water battles to coaching soccer. He is a good neighbor always willing to help, no matter what is asked of him.

Murrysville will be lucky to have such a qualified, hard-working and honest council member as Brad Funari.
