Stanley Zajchowski Obituary
A funeral was held July 1 at Alaskan Heritage Memorial Chapel in Wasilla. The Rev. Bill Fournier of Sacred Heart Catholic Church officiated. Burial with full military honors was at Wasilla Aurora Cemetery.
Mr. Zajchowski was born May 16, 1916, in Woonsocket, R.I. He retired from Bayer & Mingolla & Sons, where he was a foreman in heavy equipment operation. He had lived in Leicester and Cape Cod, Mass. He had lived in Wasilla since 2002.
Mr. Zajchowski served in the U.S. Army during World War II, was involved in the invasion of Normandy, and received several medals including the Victory Medal, Good Conduct Medal and European African Middle Eastern Campaign Ribbon.
He enjoyed landscaping his yard with his wife, polka music, and his Chrysler.
His family said: "He sacrificed for his family and give it his all." He was their hero, the family also wrote.
Mr. Zajchowski is survived by his beloved wife of 68 years, Janet T. Zajchowski; sons, Edward, John and Stanley; daughter, Susan Zajchowski, all of Wasilla; and daughter, Judy Tibbetts of Westford, Mass.

Dear Zack & Family
Please accept our condolences in this very difficult time of deep personal loss. We read your Dad's obituary and it sounds like he truly was your hero. He was also a hero to all Americans. A man like your Dad was inarguably the salt of the Earth. The backbone of America. He represented everything that is good in the world. You just have to have a ton of respect for him.
On November 11th of this year, Jackie and I will run the Veteran's Day 11K road race in Stoneham, Mass. in memory and honor of your Dad. Penciled in (with a magic marker in big bold letters on our arms will be "For Stanley Zajchowski." May he rest in eternal peace.
Love, Richard and Jackie
