Poland - Jeffrey L. Sontag, 65, formerly of Struthers, died Wednesday afternoon, January 6, 2016 at St. Elizabeth Boardman Health Center after a short battle with cancer.
Jeffrey, known as "Jeff" was born December 30, 1950 in Youngstown, a son of Vincent and Mildred Bennett Sontag.
Raised in Poland, he attended Poland Seminary High School. He was drafted into the United States Army, serving for two years in Korea during the Vietnam War.
