Joseph Michael Guzinski- Rochester

On Tuesday, July 28, 2020, Joseph Michael Guzinski, loving husband, father, and friend, passed away at the age of 69.

Joe was born April 1, 1951 in Rochester, MN, to Joseph Guzinski and Sis (Lindberg) Guzinski.  He attended the University of Minnesota and graduated from the William Mitchell College of Law. Joe practiced law in Rochester, MN, for forty years. Joe married Pam Nereson on June 1, 1979 in Rochester, MN.

Joe was an exceptional swimmer at Mayo High School and went on to swim for the University of Minnesota. Joe greatly enjoyed the outdoors. He loved hunting for morel mushrooms every spring, fishing in northern Minnesota, and boating on the waters of Lake Zumbro. Joe was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. He loved spending time with his family at their cabin, sharing homemade meals, and celebrating birthdays and holidays together. He was known for his quick wit, intellect, and fix-it skills. There were few pieces of trivia Joe didn't know and even less things Joe didn't know how to fix. Joe was calm in a crisis, quick to help others, and a caring friend to many.

He is survived by his wife Pam Guzinski, daughter Sarah, son-in-law Greg, and two grandchildren, Charles and Olivia. He is preceded in death by his parents Joseph and Sis Guzinski and his sister Cheri Clark.

A private family service will be held in August.
