Edward Robert Bozek, Jr., 66, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on May 10th, 2025 after a brief illness. He was born in Rochester on October 28, 1958, a son of Yvonne Bozek and the late Edward Robert Bozek, Sr. In addition to his mother, he is survived by his wife of 32 years, Patricia J. (McAlpine) Bozek, two sons, Eugene D. Bozek and Dormont & Kevin E. Bozek of Moon Township, a brother, David Bozek, a sister, Amy Grunloh (Howard), a nephew and two nieces. He is also survived by his beloved dog and constant companion, Fredo.
After graduating from the Rochester Area School District, Edward went on to attend Penn State University where he began his lifelong passion for Nittany Lion Football while earning his degree in Business.
He had a long and very successful career at Federated Investors, Inc., in Pittsburgh where he formed many lifelong friendships with both colleagues and clients. He reveled in the privilege of growing up during the glory days of Pittsburgh sports. In recent years, however, he would frequently voice his great displeasure at the current state of these once storied franchises.
He was also an avid fly fisherman who was most at ease in any trout stream at daybreak. He also took great joy in sharing his love of hockey by coaching his sons’ hockey teams.
The family would like to extend its deepest appreciation to the many dedicated and brilliant UPMC doctors, surgeons, nurses and staff for their compassion and tireless commitment to helping them through this difficult time.
Friends will be received on Thursday, May 15th from 11 A.M. until the time of service at 4 P.M. in the Huntsman Funeral Home & Cremation Services of Moon Township, 1522 Coraopolis Heights Road. Private interment will take place at St. Cecilia Cemetery in Rochester.
