Joseph R. Goral
July 29, 1947 - May 20, 2025
Joseph R. Goral, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away on May 20, 2025, at the age of 77. Born on July 29, 1947, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Joe lived a life filled with love, dedication, and a commitment to family.
He was united in marriage to his cherished wife, Charlene, on April 12, 1969. Together they nurtured a family that included their daughters, Michele Ackerman and Stacy (Charles) Huthmaker, and their son, David (Kellie). Joe took great joy in being “Pop Pop” to his grandchildren: David, Caleb, Zachary, Seth, DJ, and Zoe, as well as a proud great-grandfather to little Leighton. His family meant the world to him, and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Joe was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Esther (Gawlowski) Goral, and his sister Carol Williams.
Joe had a successful career for 33 years with Consolidated Natural Gas (Dominion) as an accountant, where he was respected by his colleagues for his professionalism and steadfast character.
In honor of Joe’s legacy, the family kindly requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, a cause that held special meaning for him.
Private family services were handled with compassion by the Devlin Funeral Home of Cranberry Township.
