John L. Goss

Born and raised in Johnstown, he attended Conemaugh High School and began his career working for US Steel in Johnstown. After relocating to Bucks County, John continued his career in manufacturing and eventually retired from the Congoleum Company. Throughout his life, John was known for his loyalty, dependability, and commitment to his work and to those he loved.

A devout Catholic, he was a proud member of the Knights of Columbus and volunteered as a Eucharistic Minister at St. Bede the Venerable Church in Holland. Faith and service were cornerstones of his life.

John was an avid sports fan with a lifelong love for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He found great joy in simple pleasures-taking scenic drives in his treasured Hondas with his beloved wife Betty, enjoying family vacations at the Jersey Shore, chatting with fellow vacationers poolside in Wildwood, or trying his luck at the penny slots in Atlantic City.

Above all, John cherished his role as a husband, father, and grandfather. He is survived by his devoted wife of 56 years, Betty (Torano) Goss; his loving daughter Susan Mahoney (Dan) of Holland; and his treasured grandchildren, Daniel and Meghan. He is also survived by his brother, James Goss (Mary) of Johnstown, and several nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his parents, John and Geraldine (Shortt) Goss.

A visitation for John will be held Tuesday, May 20, 2025 from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM with a Mass of Christian Burial to follow at St Bede the Venerable, 1071 Holland Road, Holland, PA 18966. Interment will be scheduled at a future date.

John will be remembered for his unwavering love for his family, his deep faith, and the kindness he showed to all who knew him.
