Mr. Kastory passed away at Minatara, near Scotts Bluff, Nebraska, on November 18, 1966 of pneumonia. Burial was in Concord Lutheron Cemetery, Chicago, Illinois.

An active Early Bird, he was known as the "Hungarian Flyer" during his early work. A competent and accurate mechanic, a very skilled and careful pilot and instructor, he loved to fly. During his career he flew exhibitions in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, North and South Dakota, Kentucky, Virginia and Maryland. He had few accidents, was never seriously injured, and is one of the truly valued flying pioneers deserving of great credit for his immeasurable service to the development of aviation.
