Stanley J. Waz, Jr., 62

Stanley J. Waz, Jr., 62, husband of Debi (Barker) Waz, of Middlefield, passed away Sunday, April 28, 2013. Stanley was born in Meriden, CT, February 25, 1951, the son of the late Katherine (Powers) Renals and the late Stanley Waz. He was a Manager at Stew Leonard's in Newington.

Stashu spent his earlier years on the softball field and hockey arena with his kids. Once they left, golf filled that void for him. His weekly rides with his four legged child, Leuger, were always a highlight of the week. He loved card nights and playing horseshoes with his beloved friends. Stashu was always the first to be there for a friend in need.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by his son, C.J. Waz of Orlando, his daughter, Jenna Waz of Chicago; his sister, Barbara Jenkins of Middletown as well as many nieces and nephews.

A celebration of his life and sharing of stories will be held Thursday, May 2, 2103 at 7 p.m. at the Durham Fire House. Friends may gather prior to the service at the fire house from 6 to 7 p.m.

Those who wish may send memorial contributions to the Jenna and CJ Education Fund, c/o Liberty Bank, Attn: Mary Ann Lentz, 315 Main Street, Middletown, CT 06457. To share memories or express condolences online please visitΒ www.biegafuneralhome.com.
