Anthony Kos Jr., 83, of West Pittsburg, passed away on Dec. 16, 2020, at Salem Regional Medical Center in Salem, Ohio. Anthony was born at home in West Pittsburg on Jan. 18, 1937, to the late Anton and Anna (Schultz) Kos. Anthony died of a broken heart 120 days after losing the love of his life, the late Barbara E. (Hritz) Kos. They were married for 61 wonderfully blissful years. She preceded him in death on Aug. 17, 2020.
Anthony retired after 32 years of service from Rockwell International Axle Division in skilled trades as a machine repairman. Anthony was a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, a member of Holy Spirit Parish and a graduate of New Castle High School. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, boating and golfing.
He was a marvelous and proud grandparent who enjoyed spending time with and supporting his grandchildren and great-grandson in all of their lives' activities.
Anthony is survived by his children, Dr. Anthony J. (Lisa) Kos of Transfer, Pennsylvania, and Susan Shoaff of West Pittsburg, Pennsylvania; sister, Elizabeth "Betty" Evanoski of Youngstown, Ohio; grandchildren, Mark A. Shoaff, Stacie C. (David Pearson) Shoaff, Hunter A. Kos, Lauren O. Kos; and great-grandson, Anthony E. Pearson.
He is preceded in death by his parents, wife and brothers, John Kos, Carl Kos and Robert Kos.
A private visitation was held at Noga Funeral Home Inc., 1142 S. Mill St., New Castle PA 16101. As patriarch of the Kos family, Anthony would believe it is important to say goodbye to all the family and friends who are unable to attend calling hours due to the pandemic. If he could, he would thank you all for enriching his time and helping to make his life one that was truly well lived.
A blessing service for the family will be celebrated at 11:30 a.m. at the funeral home. Seminarian Merv E. Knieriem from Holy Spirit Parish was to officiate. Interment will take place at Madonna Cemetery.
Lord God, you are attentive to the voice of our pleading. Give Anthony eternal rest, O Lord, and may your light shine on him forever. Let us find in your Son comfort in our sadness, certainty in our doubt, and courage to live through this hour. Make our faith strong through Christ our Lord. Amen.
