Joseph Belotti Obituary
Born in Duryea, son of the late Michael and Della Yakobitis Belotti, he lived in Old Forge for most of his life before moving to Moosic in 1998. He was employed by Garlet Industries, Old Forge, and was a World War II Army veteran, having served as a medic in the European theater.
Joseph was a kind and gentle man who was loved by all who knew him. Although he was a man of few words, he loved his children and grandchildren passionately. On his weekly visits, he always made sure he had a little gift from the Dollar Store. He always thought of others.
He was an avid hunter and fisherman who was into gun making, reloading and anything sport related. Coin collecting was his passion.
He is survived by a son, Mark, Old Forge; a daughter, Ann Cooper and husband, David, Dallas; two granddaughters, Marita and Leah Belotti; nieces and nephews.
He was also preceded in death by brothers, Leonard and Michael.
The funeral will be Wednesday at 9 a.m. from the Lokuta-Zawacki Funeral Home, 200 Wyoming Ave., Dupont, with Mass of Christian Burial at 10 in St. Lawrence Church, 620 S. Main St., Old Forge, to be celebrated by the Rev. August Ricciardi, pastor. Interment will be in the Italian Independent Cemetery, West Wyoming.
Friends may call Tuesday, 6 to 8 p.m.
