Alexander Gorski, Jr. Obituary Alexander A. Gorski, Jr., known affectionately as Al, passed away peacefully on July 4, 2024, in his home in Bethlehem, surrounded by his loving family. He was the loving husband of the late Elaine J. (Costas) Gorski, with whom he shared over 63 years of loving marriage. Born on September 15, 1927, in Bethlehem, he was the son of the late Alexander Gorski Sr. and Elizabeth (Morrison) Gorski. Al's life was marked by dedication to his country, his work, and above all, his family. Al honorably served in the United States Navy during World War II and the Korean War, a testament to his patriotism and courage. After his military service, he embarked on a successful career as an insurance agent with Prudential, where he worked for 23 years before retiring in 1990. He also worked as a supply clerk for the Bethlehem Area School District for 11 years. His professional life was characterized by integrity and a strong work ethic. A devout member of St. Anne Catholic Church, Al's faith was a cornerstone of his life. His commitment to community service was further exemplified through his active involvement with the former American Legion, post 0611, in Easton, where he forged lasting friendships and contributed to numerous veteran-related initiatives. Al's interests and hobbies were as diverse as they were passionate. He enjoyed knitting to donate to the homeless and disadvantaged. Al was a man who cherished the simple pleasures in life, whether it was spending time with his family, sharing stories with friends, or enjoying the beauty of nature. His warm presence and kind-hearted nature were a source of joy and comfort to all who knew him. He leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories with his family, including his son, Michael A. Gorski and his wife Beverly of Brantford, Ontario, Canada; his daughter, Susan E. Berkenstock and her husband Kenneth of Bethlehem; his son Thomas A. Gorski and his wife Diane of Discovery Bay, California; his daughter Catherine Lambert of Allentown. Al was a proud Pop to eight grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild, who will miss him dearly. In addition to his wife and parents, Al was predeceased by his granddaughter Taylr, his brother Frank Gorski and sister Betty Lou Kilgour. His passing marks the end of an era, but his spirit will continue to live on through the lives of those he touched.
