Anthony L. Kubiak Jr., 75, from Orefield, died peacefully on May 16, 2024, surrounded by his loving family at his residence.

He and his wife, Rosemary (Pond) Kubiak, were married 47 years.

Born Aug. 3, 1948, in Wilkes-Barre, he was the son of the late Anthony Kubiak Sr. and Sophia (Trentowski) Kubiak.

He enjoyed photography and electronics, being very adept at keeping pace with different technologies as they evolved over decades.

He also had a wide variety of interests which included cooking and baking, and he dearly loved the family pet cat, Cody, along with animals of all kinds.

In addition to his loving wife, he is survived by stepchildren Timothy S. Lybolt of Wilkes-Barre, and Stacey J. Bolesta (Gregory) of Plymouth; siblings Michael A. Kubiak (Suzanne) of York, Susan R. Mendenhall (Gary) of Oxford, and Mary Anna J. Secunda (Jesse) of Collegeville; grandchildren Christine, Jared and Gregory.
