Albert S. Wachsman

1940 - 2022

Albert S. Wachsman, age 81, of Ellington, beloved husband of Eileen B. Wachsman passed away on March 11, 2022.

He was born Nov. 11, 1940, in Brooklyn, New York, the son of the late Michael and Rose (Allen) Wachsman. Albert was a graduate of Brooklyn Technical High School and was a proud Air Force Veteran, having served during the Vietnam War. After his time in the service, he earned a Bachelor's degree from the University of Hartford and acquired a job as an engineer with UTC- Hamilton Sundstrand. After retirement, Albert and his wife, Eileen, went on many trips including Ireland, Greece, and Alaska until their health required them to remain home. In his downtime, Albert loved reading science fiction books, watching UConn basketball, and watching old western movies. Additionally, he was especially delighted to become a grandfather and spent his last few months regularly asking to see pictures of his grandsons, Seamus and Declan. He especially loved seeing how much his grandson Declan took after him both in looks and feisty personality! He also lit up when hearing about his son Jason's adventures out west, often asking to see the latest pictures from Facebook (which he would call "Spacebook"!)

Besides his loving wife Eileen, he is survived by his son, Jason Wachsman and his wife, Andrea; his daughter, Cara O'Sullivan and her husband, Sean; his grandchildren Seamus and Declan O'Sullivan; his step-grandchildren Kara LeDuc and Samantha Higgins; and his brothers Frederick Wachsman and wife, Millie Wachsman, Verne Wachsman, Nelson Wachsman, and Hal Wachsman.

A private burial for family will be held at Ellington Center Cemetery, Ellington.

In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to The American Diabetes Association.
