The American Legion, Frank G. Frainier Post 90 in Los Alamos was informed of the death of Joseph Kosty on 07/02/2016 by phone call from his daughter.
Joe Kosty was a Korean War veteran of the US Air Force and joined the Post in 1962. He was a member of The American Legion for over 50 years. He and his family were long time Los Alamos residents. After the Air Force, he continued his service to the country and became a long-time Laboratory employee.
