On October 13, 2026, a star for GeorgeWestinghouse was added to the Pittsburgh Walk of Fame.
The induction ceremony took place on a brilliant, blue Tuesday morning and attracted a crowd to the Terminal on Smallman Street where the Pittsburgh Walk of Fame is located.
Nine other Pittsburgh notables were inducted that day, Myron Cope, Teenie Harris, Franco Harris, H. J. Heinz, Shirley Jones, Mario Lemieux, Henry Mancini, and Jimmy Stewart.
With Rick Sebak overseeing the ceremonies, a spokesperson for each inductee first unveiled their star and then offered brief, sometimes emotional remarks.
Speaking for George Westinghouse were his great grandaughter Pamela Westinghouse and Michael Sweeny, advisor to the CEO of Westinghouse Electric Company.
Here’s what was said about George.
