It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Gary J. Mazzie. He died at the age of 64 on March 11.
Gary passed away surrounded by his loved ones after a valiant battle with cancer. A bright spark in this world, he was a devoted husband, loving father and exceptional member of his community. He will be deeply missed. He was raised in Norwood, NJ and graduated from Bergen Catholic HS and Manhattan College. Gary married his college sweetheart, Susan, and was a proud father to Marc and Carolyn. His family expanded to include his son-in-law, William Schwarz and his beloved granddaughter, Willow.
Loving son of Gary J. Mazzie and the late Jane. Dear brother of Susan McColgan and her late husband Michael, Nancy McGuire and her husband William, Jane Hidalgo, Michael Mazzie and the late Joseph Mazzie.
We appreciate all of the heartfelt love, support and laughter our family and dear friends shared with Gary during his last days at Villa Marie Claire.
Before departing, Gary asked that the great care and comfort he received from Villa Marie Claire be honored by donations to the residential hospice facility. The compassion and consideration of the staff assisted his family in easing the pain of this great loss.
A memorial service will be held at a later date. Funeral service will be private.
