Joseph D. "Joe" Pustai, age 74, passed away Friday, November 21, 2025. He was born on September 16, 1951, in Grand Haven, MI, to John and Dorothy (Watson) Pustai, Jr. Joe graduated from Ravenna High School in 1970 and worked for over 50 years at Ranger Tool and Die in Coopersville, prior to his retirement.

He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother-in-law, Carl Gee. Private family services will be held for Joe. MEMORIALS to the Noah Project will be appreciated.
