Josue Irizarry

Josue Irizarry, 55, of West Reading, passed away peacefully Sunday, December 30, 2018, at Reading Hospital, following a sudden illness. Born February 4, 1963, in Manhattan, he was a son of the late Rev. Jesus and Carmen (Torres) Irizarry.

Josue was an incomparable "social butterfly." He literally loved everyone, and would strike up a conversation with anyone he met, instantly becoming their friend. Josue worked briefly at the Reading Hospital in the dietary department.

Josue is survived by a brother, Jesus Irizarry, Jr., with whom he resided, sister Deborah, wife of Jeff Bollinger, Stevens, PA, brother Samuel, longtime companion of Maria Flores, Reading, and a brother Isai, Norristown. Also surviving are several nieces and nephews.
