Joseph Brogden Obituary
Joe is survived by his sister Katharine Rehn and was predeceased by his sisters Midge and Anne.
Born in Brooklyn, N Y, Joe joined the U. S. Air Force at the age of 19. In 1965, he followed his passion for aviation and began a long career with American Airlines, traveling the world before retiring in the Capitan's seat in 1993.
A lifelong learner, Joe loved exploring the world not only through flight but also through geography, maps, and books that fueled his curiosity and collections.
With his final flight plan filed, he soars now beyond the horizon, where the skies are calm, and the journey never ends.
411 Old Town Rd, East Setauket, NY 11733
