Jozef Edward Skuriat of Mountain Top, PA, passed away suddenly on October 30, 2022, after a six-month long battle from cancer treatment complications, he was 73 years old. Jozef was born in Sanok, Poland to the late Waclaw Skuriat and Jadwiga Michenka-Skuriat. He graduated from Medyczna Szkola Zawodowa Tehnikow Elektroradiologii in Poland.  He served 2 years in the Polish Army then served in the Polish reserves for 12 years.

In 1973, Jozef married the love of his life, Teresa Bilik-Skuriat. Together they had two loving children:  Katarzyna (Kate) Skuriat-Hanney, husband Chris of Rochester, NY, and Monika Skuriat-Fritz, Husband Timothy of Bethlehem, PA.   Jozef and Teresa have been blessed with three adoring grandchildren: Marysa Hanney, Benjamin Hanney and Henrik Fritz. Jozef is survived by his brother Tadeusz Skuriat.

Jozef worked as a machinist for 20 years at Don’s Machine Shop in Pittston, PA.  He was his happiest when with his beloved wife of 49 years and being surrounded by their family and friends while sitting around the dining room table chatting and laughing. He loved nothing more than to complain about projects around the house knowing full well he would happily do them for his wife or children.  Anyone who knows Jozef knows he would do absolutely anything for his loving wife, children, and grandchildren. Jozef could fashion a mechanical solution for just about anything and was a walking encyclopedia when it came to historical facts. He was an avid stamp collector, enjoyed reading about and studying world history, and had a love for animals.
