Karl B. Berretta, 71 of Harding, passed away Wednesday June 10, 2020 at his home after a courageous battle against COPD and Leukemia.

Born in Exeter, he was the son of the late Charles C. and Julia J. (Binker) Berretta.

Karl was a graduate of the first graduating class of Wyoming Area High School, and was a Navy Veteran of the Vietnam War, attaining the rank of Aviation Electrician’s Mate, Petty Officer 3rd Class and was awarded the National Defense Service Medal and the Vietnam Service Medal.

Upon his Honorable Discharge from active service, Karl was employed in maintenance as a mechanic throughout the Wyoming Valley, and was currently enjoying his well-earned retirement.
