Joseph Guzik Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 21, 2024.
Joseph Guzik, Jr., 82, passed away on February 19, 2024. Affectionately known as Joe to his friends and family, Joseph was a cherished husband, father, brother, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle, and friend to many.

Born on November 11, 1941, in Wall, PA, Joe was the son of Joseph Guzik, Sr., and Mary (Wozar). After graduating high school, Joe proudly served in the U.S. Navy, later worked for Westinghouse, and attended business school.

Joe's interests and hobbies were as diverse as they were passionate. He was an avid ham radio operator, connecting with people across the globe and sharing experiences that broadened his perspective and enriched his life. Additionally, Joe had a deep love for polka music, often attending dances and events with Sally, where they were known for their lively steps and infectious joy on the dance floor.

Joe's marriage to Sally Ann Guzik (née Fletcher) was a testament to love, partnership, and mutual respect. Married for nearly 60 years, Joe and Sally shared countless memories, from raising their children to traveling together.

Joe was preceded in death by his wife, Sally Ann Guzik (née Fletcher), on June 24, 2023; his brothers, Walter in 2020 and William in 2016; and his son, Joseph, in 2016. He is survived by his children, Linda Miller (David) and James Guzik (Heather); grandchildren Joseph, Sally Joe, Jessica, Michael, Jamie-Lynn, Daniel, Shawna, and Katie; great-grandchildren, nephews, and a niece.

A private ceremony will be held for the family. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer's Foundation in Joe's name.

Rest in peace, Joe; your spirit and love will always guide us.

Uncle Joe was my godfather and beloved uncle. Good times, good memories of being at the house up on the hill swimming, playing, reading, board games, cards, watching TV and more with cousins, family and friends. May peace be upon his soul. And may his memory be for a blessing. - Barbara Jean Guzik
