  1. Steve and Johnny Pawk were also related to Michele Pawk, a Tony Award-winning actress and singer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michele_Pawk). They are her uncles.

    Per Michael Pawk's obituary, he was the father of Michele (https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/postgazette/obituary.aspx?n=michael-l-pawk&pid=172729690&fhid=9722).

    Per Steve Pawk's obituary, Michael was his brother (https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/butlereagle/obituary.aspx?n=Steve-Pawk&pid=124898348), thus making Michele Steve's and Johnny's niece.
