It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of John Goral, age 64, on November 16, 2024.  A beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, John passed surrounded by his loving family.

John was the epitome of hard work and dedication.  From his early years, he demonstrated an unwavering commitment to providing for his family, instilling in them values of integrity, perseverance, and love.  His career as a mechanic spanned over 30 years, where his diligence and expertise earned the admiration of colleagues and friends alike.

Above all, John was devoted to his family.  He cherished his 45 years of marriage to his loving wife, Gina, who was his partner in life and unwavering support.  Together, they built a home filled with love and laughter, raising 3 children: John, Kristen, and Stacy.  As a Pop Pop, John found immense joy in spending time with his grandchildren, Jorgé, Johnny, Carson, Rowan, and Lilliana, who brought light and pride into his life.

His selfless nature, warm smile, and steadfast presence will forever be remembered by all who knew him.

John is survived by his wife Gina Goral (nee Neri), children John Goral (Mariam), Kristen Goral (Robert Gurley), and Stacy Wilson (James), grandchildren Jorgé, Johnny, Carson, Rowan, and Lilliana.  He is also survived by his mother Margaret Goral and siblings Bill Goral, Tony Goral, and Margret Burgess.  John was preceded in death by his father Wasyl Goral and his brother Peter Goral.
