Born in Rochester, New York, on November 12, 1952, he was the son of Leonard Brozak and Genevieve (Pisarczyk) Brozak. Joseph began working for Dupont as an operator, and later retired as a program coordinator from Invista. He enjoyed listening to music, especially the Blues. Joseph loved fishing and traveled all over the United States to fish in the perfect spots and participated in tournaments. He had an entire room devoted to his trophies, rod and reels that he made himself, and other fishing memorabilia. Although fishing was his favorite hobby, his true love was his family. Joseph left an impact on many lives and will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.

Cremation will be under the direction of Claybar Funeral Home.

A memorial gathering will be held at a later date in his hometown of Rochester, New York.
