Schrader Funeral Home and Crematory - Ballwin Obituary

Delosky, Joseph Duvall, resting in eternal peace on Tuesday, February 10, 2026. He leaves behind his loving wife of 66 years, Barbara, and devoted daughter, Lisa. Joe enjoyed playing the guitar from the age of 11. He liked watching basketball, completing jigsaw and word-seek puzzles, watching British television programs, and playing Scrabble and cards with Barbara - usually drawing the aces. He thrived in running a successful family business for over 40 years, knew more about coffee than anyone, and remained a kind and thoughtful soul throughout his days - a true gentleman in every way.  Born at home by the shore of Elk Lake, Joe graduated from Waymart High School in Pennsylvania and proudly served his country in the United States Air Force from 1956 - 1960. He made friends with his gentle smile wherever he went, and was a beloved husband and cherished dad. We will love and miss him every day. 


Services: Private interment in the spring at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Tunnel to Towers Foundation. As a service of the SCHRADER Funeral Home and Crematory, friends may sign the family's on-line guestbook at Schrader.com.
