Bruce E. Kostival

Bruce E. Kostival, age 63, passed away peacefully in his home on Tuesday, July 18, 2017. He was born in Chester, Pennsylvania, on September 22, 1953 to his loving parents Andrew and Marjorie Kostival. At 18 he left home and joined the armed forces, serving four years in the Air Force during the final years of the Vietnam War. His years of experience as a radio technician piqued his interest in electronics, and he proceeded to acquire a B.S. in electrical engineering from Penn State University. His education served him well as he spent a majority of his career as an IT Consultant specializing in software development. Bruce was an iconic poster child for the old saying “Work Hard, Play Hard”. His spare time was never wasted; he spent every moment perfecting his short game on the golf course, skiing the majestic Rocky Mountains with the people he loved, and traveling the world with his favorite companions. Most of all, he cherished spending quality time with his children. Bruce was the perfect father and the most loyal man his family has ever known. He was such a positive influence in the lives of so many people. He will be dearly missed and his memory will be forever carried on in our hearts. He is survived by his three sons, Orion J. Kostival, Arlen T. Kostival, and Ethan C. Kostival; his brother, Andrew S. Kostival. Funeral Service: 4:00 PM on Monday, July 24, 2017 at Horan & McConaty Funeral Home, 3101 S.
