Joseph E. Costulas, 70, of North Bend, passed away Monday, Sept. 18, 2023, at his residence.
Born June 13, 1953 in Renovo, he was a son of the late George J. Costulas, Sr. and Catherine H. (Teti) Costulas.
He was married on Sept. 26, 1981 to the former Georgette L. LaVanture. They celebrated almost 42 years of marriage together.
He was a truck driver for many years until he started G & J Excavating with his wife. He then opened Scoot's Service Center in Renovo.
Joe was a 1972 graduate of Bucktail High School. He enjoyed history, Fox News, old history movies, the beach and sitting on the bench at the store greeting and talking with others. He also enjoyed his coffee club with his old high school buddies.
He was not afraid to tell others how it is and give directions on how to get there.
Joe always had a smile on his face and could get anyone to laugh. He was full of life, very humble, giving, thoughtful and an early riser. He loved his coffee, telling jokes, stories, cooking and being a host for entertaining.
He always bragged about his kids and grandkids. Joe was so proud of them.
Surviving are his loving wife; two sons, Joseph J. Costulas, of Renovo, and Christopher Costulas, of S. Williamsport; his daughter, Sarah Peslis, of Lewisberry; and four grandchildren, Ava Renae, George Joseph, Athanasia Diamanto and Capria Marie.
Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by two sisters, Mary Christine Costulas and Diane Costulas; and a brother, George J. "JuJu" Costulas.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 27, 2023, at the Maxwell Funeral Home, 205 Fifth St., Renovo, with Martha Sykes officiating.
Friends and relatives will be received from 10-11 a.m. at the funeral home.
