Philip P. Goshert
OBITUARY
Philip P. Goshert, 63, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, May 13,
2026, in Penn State Health – St. Joseph Medical Center, following a courageous
battle with pancreatic cancer. Born in West Reading, he was a son of the late
Mary L. (Dick) and Paul R. Goshert. Phil shared 36 wonderful years of marriage
to his true sweetheart, Deborah A. (McNally) Goshert.
Phil was the highly successful Owner and President of Berks Water
Technology, Inc., West Lawn, a company he founded in 1995 with his wife
Debbie. He also was a fearless motorcycle racer, earning five championships at
his home track, Maple Grove Raceway, and capturing the NE Divisional
Championship in 1995.
Phil embraced life with great enthusiasm and adventure. He enjoyed
hunting, skiing and hiking whenever he could, both locally and across the
country. A certified scuba diver, he loved the serenity of the ocean and the
beach just as much as the adrenalin rush of roller coasters near and far. Phil
was a self-proclaimed “dog person” and also enjoyed time at the gym, and
cheering on “his” beloved Seattle Seahawks every Sunday.
In addition to his loving wife Debbie, Phil is survived by their daughter, Alex
A. Goshert of New York City; his mother-in-law Marge R. McNally of Wyomissing;
his brothers Scott Goshert of Muhlenberg Township and Bryan Goshert of Mount
Holly Springs; and his sister-in-law, Tina Goshert. Also surviving are his
cherished niece and nephew, Kristen Bloom, wife of Josh, and David Goshert,
and his great nephew Callum.
