Whitey Maziarek

Charles F. Maziarek, affectionately known to friends and family as “Whitey”, passed away at Stamford Hospital on Saturday, August 18, 2018. Born in Seymour, CT on April 1, 1921 to the late Joseph and Marie Maziarek, Whitey was a longtime resident of the Cove section of Stamford, CT. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Evelyn, in 2015 and is survived by his two daughters; Lorena Houseworth and husband Christopher, and Mary Cavalieri, and three grandchildren; Michael, Christopher and Michelle Cavalieri. In addition to his wife, Whitey was preceded in death by his son-in-law, Ralph Cavalieri, M.D. Whitey was a master craftsman and woodworker. He worked at Maziarek & Sons Millwork, which was the custom woodworking shop established by his father, Joseph, in 1924. The shop was originally located on Dean Street and later, Euclid Avenue, both being based in “the Cove”. Whitey proudly served his country in the U.S. Army during WWII. He fought at the Battle of the Bulge and was awarded the Bronze Star medal for his courage and valor in service. Whitey enjoyed traveling in his Winnebago with his beloved Evelyn, visiting as many states as they could get to – including Alaska. As a lifelong member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles (F.O.E.), Whitey also liked to visit F.O.E. clubs throughout the region and country.
