George S. Jagodzinski

George Sylvester Jagodzinski, a lifelong resident of Stamford, CT, peacefully passed away at The Villa of Stamford on December 2, 2022. He was born in the South End of Stamford on July 6, 1943. He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Marge; his daughter, Rita; his son, George; his sister, Rose Mocarski; and his granddaughter, Cadence who was truly his pride and joy. He was predeceased by his brothers Mike Yagodzinski, John Wargo and Joe Jagodzinski and his sisters Freda Price, Ann Dombroski and Theresa Wargo. George worked at Machlett Laboratories for 15 years and Pitney Bowes for 37 years. After retiring, he found his true calling as the Softball League Director with the City of Stamford Board of Recreation. He spent many years at Stamford’s softball fields interacting with the teams and umpires- many of whom will recall his enthusiasm and loyalty to the game. George was known for his devotion to his family and his witty sense of humor. He loved nothing more than to watch his children on the sports field. George and Marge spent endless hours traveling to baseball and softball games and tournaments throughout Rita and George’s high school, college and adult leagues. He was his children’s biggest fan! He had three great loves in his life- his wife, Marge, his granddaughter, Cadence and Polka Music. George and Marge loved to hop in the car and go for drives. Their company being more than enough. BeBop, as Cadence called him, lit up whenever she was around. George and Marge spent many a Saturday and Sunday night listening to polka music on the radio and attended the New London Polka festival annually. His fourth love was The Elm Street Diner. George’s best advice for his children was “Don’t get caught and don’t let me catch you.” Words to live by… George’s family would like to thank the incredible staff at Stamford Hospital and The Villa for the care and love they gave to George in the last year. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s research in George’s name. Family will receive relatives and friends for a visitation on Tuesday, December 6th from 4pm to 8pm at Bosak Funeral Home, 453 Shippan Ave, Stamford, CT. A Funeral Mass will be held at 10am on Wednesday, December 7th at Holy Name of Jesus Church, 325 Washington Blvd, Stamford, CT. His interment will be private.
