Joseph Robert Kozlowski, age 76, of Red Lion, PA, formerly of Rising Sun, MD, passed away peacefully at home on Sunday, March 9, 2025. Born in Scranton, PA, he was the cherished son of the late Joseph and Stella (Curly) Kozlowski. He was the devoted husband and best friend of 32 years to Yvonne Marie (Goerlich) Kozlowski, with whom he built a life filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories.
Joe was known for his hard work and dedication. He spent many years as a beloved breadman for Schmidt Bakery, brightening the mornings of countless customers. After retiring, his warm personality and gift for connection led him to a successful career as a car salesman, where he earned national recognition as one of the top Lincoln salesmen in the country. A proud U.S. Air Force veteran, Joe carried his sense of duty and honor throughout his life.
Music was the soundtrack of Joe's life. A talented guitarist and singer, he played in several bands during his high school and college years, sharing his love of music with everyone around him. He was also a semi-professional baseball player, excelling in the outfield. A lifelong Phillies fan, he found great joy in the game. He also enjoyed peaceful days spent fishing and found joy in golf-even if he often joked about his lack of skill on the course. His quick wit, warm heart, and unwavering love for his family will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Joe leaves behind a legacy of love. In addition to his devoted wife, he is survived by his children-Nicole, Joseph Jr., Jennifer, and Nick-his three treasured grandchildren, and his loving sister, Patricia. He is now reunited in peace with his beloved infant son, Vincent, whom he always carried in his heart.
A private service will be held at the convenience of the family. Wagner-Elfner & Burg Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Inc., 134 W. Broadway, Red Lion, is assisting the family during this difficult time.
