Joseph A. Bilyo, 67, of Throop, died on Friday, February 14, 2025, at Lehigh Valley Medical Center, Allentown.

Born in Scranton, he was the son of the late Joseph and Verna Stanek Bilyo, and he was a member of Blessed Sacrament Church, at Holy Cross Parish, Throop. He graduated from Scranton Tech High School. After high school, he went to Penn State University where he earned a BS degree in Industrial Psychology with a minor in Business. He was a regional sales manager with Wells Dairy of Iowa prior to retirement.

Joe, lovingly known by many as Jab, will be deeply missed by everyone that knew him. He was always ready to crack a joke or strike up a conversation with someone. He enjoyed the simple pleasures in life - a good meal topped off with a delicious dessert, a round of golf, a Penn State win (which didn't come without yelling at the TV), or a day spent surrounded by his family, especially his granddaughters. Joe spent his time making sure his family always knew how much he loved them and how proud he was.

Surviving is a son, Joseph Bilyo, and wife Samantha, Mayfield; two grandchildren, Emily and Julia Bilyo; brother, Robert Bilyo, and wife, Kathy, Rome, NY; sister, Nancy Fiore, and husband, Patrick, Peckville; his former spouse and longtime companion, Rosemary Bilyo, Throop; nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by a sister, Mary Bilyo.
