Joseph Blonsky of Miami, Florida passed away on September 19, 2023. Born in Brooklyn, New York on October 8, 1931, the oldest son of David and Rachel (Cooper) Blonsky, Joe graduated from Alfred University in 1952 and Yale University Law School in 1955. After serving in the United States Army, Joe practiced real estate law in New York until 1973, when he moved to Miami and continued to practice into his 80s.
