Joseph L. Gostony, 80, of Saylorsburg, passed away peacefully. Born in Bethlehem, Joseph was a son of the late Joseph and Irene Gostony (Horvath). 

He proudly served his country in the United States Navy during the Vietnam era. In his early years, he attended Holy Family Catholic Church in Nazareth. 

He spent his working life in the trucking industry, eventually retiring from Ward Trucking after many years on the job and time spent working with several trucking companies. 

A simple man at heart, he was known for being stubborn at times. But he had a playful heart. He got much joy in cracking jokes and making people laugh. In his younger years, he enjoyed hunting and spending time outdoors.

He will be dearly missed by his sons: Joseph Gostony (Stacy) of Saylorsburg and Charles Gostony (Colleen) of Bath; grandchildren: Zachary, Joshua and Tiffany; sister: Rosalie Miklas (Bob) of Nazareth. He was predeceased by daughter: Monica Gostony and sister: Irene Johnson.
