HOLDEN, MA – Joseph “Jay” C. Goss III, 72, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family on Wednesday, April 17, 2019. Born and raised in Cadillac, Michigan, Jay was the son of Joseph C. and Ruth L. (Mortimer) Goss.
He will be lovingly missed and remembered by his wife of 52 years, Lynda “Lynn” (Stephenson) Goss; two daughters, Stephanie McCabe and her husband, Matthew of Walpole and Emily Goss and her husband John Puterbaugh of Sterling; five grandchildren, Catie, Dylan, Theo, Ruth and Calvin. He will also be missed by his sister and brother-in-law, Sherri and Dewayne Ide of MI, his sister-in-law Gwen Magnan, his brother-in-law Ed Stephenson and his step mother-in-law Marian Stephenson. He will be sorely missed by his beloved cats, Zach Taylor and Harry Truman who helped him meet and greet visitors and neighbors.
Jay received a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics from Michigan State University and an MBA from the University of Detroit. He was an accounting and financial analysis manager within the airline industry for over 40 years. He ended his work career as an airline consultant serving clients all over the world (Guam, Hawaii, Jamaica, Kuwait and China as well as the US.) Jay was an avid skier starting at age 7. He loved going out to Wachusett Mountain every day the snow was viable. If he couldn’t ski due to weather or season, his nose was stuck in a good mystery.
A Memorial Service is planned for June 22 in Sterling, MA. Please respond if interested in the Memorial Service and we will let you know place and time.
Jay had been actively involved in Dr. Dickerson’s Dementia Research Program at MGH. He and his family donated his brain to the Program.
