Frank James Gossy, 75, passed away peacefully at home on July 21, 2026, surrounded by family. 

Born on December 27, 1950, in Patterson, NJ, Frank was known for his love of family, his sharp mechanical mind, and his humorous nature. He spent his time tinkering with mechanical parts, working on classic cars and trucks, and riding motorcycles. He was a beloved practical joker who always put his family first.

He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Dorothy Gossy; his sons, Michael Gossy and Christopher Gossy (partner Sean); his two grandchildren, Silas and Sophia; and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Irma Gossy, and his sisters, Gisela Turk, Betha Baranowski, and Anna M. Komporlis.

Private gravesite burial is planned for a later date.
