Edward V. Wachowski, Sr.

Edward V. Wachowski Sr., age 94, of Wilton, CT and formerly of Stamford, CT passed away on June 24, 2026, at Norwalk Hospital after a brief illness. Edward was born in Stamford, CT on February 15, 1932, to the late William and Eva (Borowy) Wachowski. He was a longtime resident of Stamford, who attended Holy Name of Jesus School, graduated from Stamford High School and Fairfield University with a degree in accounting. Edward also served in the United States Air Force during the time of the Korean Conflict. Upon honorable discharge from the Air Force, he worked for many years as an accountant/auditor for the US Government Department of Defense. Upon retirement from that position, he worked for the City of Stamford in the Tax Collector’s Office. Edward was very proud of his Polish heritage. He enjoyed listening to polka music every Saturday night and Sunday morning on the local radio station while eating his favorite Sunday breakfast of kielbasa and eggs. Edward was also an avid walker. He and his wife, Anna, were known throughout their Shippan neighborhood for their daily 3 to 4 mile walks which they continued doing into their 80’s. Edward was a devout Catholic and volunteered countless hours helping his parishes, first at St. Mary’s where he served as an usher and assisted at the annual Feast and later at Our Lady Star of the Sea, where he served as a lector and money counter. His faith was a key part of his life, and he enjoyed attending church devotions in addition to daily and Sunday Mass. Edward is survived by his son, Edward V. Wachowski, Jr. and his husband, William F. Wachowski of Sandy Hook, CT; two sisters, Eleanor Morgan of Ohio and Mary Louise DeBeradinis of New Hampshire; and a sister-in-law, Joan Wachowski of Stamford. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his wife, Anna M. (Tortora) Wachowski, just five days prior to his passing. He was also predeceased by three brothers, Henry Wachowski, John Wachowski, and Richard Wachowski as well as two sisters, Estelle Kravchuk and Frances Bernier. Edward is also survived by nieces, nephews, grandnieces, and grandnephews from the extended Wachowski family. At Edward’s request, there will be no calling hours. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Monday, July 6th at 10am at Our Lady Star of the Sea Roman Catholic Church, 1200 Shippan Avenue, Stamford CT. Burial will follow at St. Mary Cemetery, in Greenwich. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Edward’s memory to the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic fraternal organization Edward belonged to for many years. Edward’s family would like to also extend a heartfelt thank you to the caring staff at The Greens at Cannondale, where he resided for the last year and a half, as well as the team at the Norwalk Hospital who cared for Edward in his final days.
