About

edit

Joseph Leonard Torak, Esquire (January 3, 1935 – April 9, 1998) served as a Republican member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. Born in 1935 in Philadelphia, he grew up in borough of Bridgeport, Pennsylvania. After graduating from West Philadelphia Catholic High School and then Villanova University and the Villanova University Law School, he established his law career in Montgomery County. As a member of the Knights of Columbus, Torak earned positions such as Grand Knight and engaged in much community service. In the mid 1970s he established a KofC community center in Bridgeport. He helped kids get off the streets by providing free lunches, a library, sports, and dances for teens. He also organized bingo nights for the neighborhood. In this working class community, the Knights Of Columbus bought a vacant lumber mill. It was converted into a catering hall and was named Camelot; it became Torak's most ambitious project to date. Under Torak's direction, the building was renovated and he actively participated in its daily operation.
