William Zarolinski Obituary
Bill was born on July 11, 1949, in Middletown, Connecticut. He was son to William Henry Zarolinski Sr. and Frances Triblets Zarolinski.
He came of age in the late sixties, graduated from the University of Connecticut, and led an adventurous life before becoming a loving husband and father.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Marian Martin Zarolinski; his sister, Georgene Zarolinski; his children, Mathew Zarolinski and wife Caren, Luke Zarolinski and wife Emily, and Katherine Zarolinski Békesi and husband Sándor. He was a proud 'Papa' to Elise and Ada Zarolinski and Sándor William Békesi, who were the joy of his life.
Bill was a true friend and a consummate family man. He was loved deeply and will be forever in our hearts.
In honor of Bill's memory, charitable donations may be made to the Dempsey Center of Lewiston, ME.

Days like today remind me of so many early Spring days, cruising with Bill, windows down, with the music turned up, singing together. I will always treasure our easy and deep friendship.
My heart is with his life long love, Marion, and their precious kids and grandkids. And with my dear old friend as he rests.
Love, Lisa

My sincere condolences to you and your family. I knew Bill from UConn, and although we didn´t stay in touch, I remember Wild Bill fondly. I hope his memory is a comfort to you all.

How we will miss trips like these and Bill's endless patience with our silliness. How long did he drive around Niagara Falls to find the HardRock Cafe? A man with a heart of gold.

Dear Marion and family I am so sorry for your loss. I very much enjoyed the conversations I had with Bill. He was so easy to talk to. I have often said that Bill was one of my favorite people. No words can fill the gap at a time like this.

You destroyed my favorite cowboy shirt I got in AZ that I lent you for one of your motorcycle rides that resulted in a crash. I´m not sure I ever told you I forgave you, buddy Bill, so let me do that now, and let you know that there will be a tree planted in your honor...

I am deeply saddened by the loss of Bill, one of the sweetest men I've had the good fortune to have had in my life. I met Bill in college in 1969, and am grateful to have seen him last in 2022. My sincere condolences go out to his family and all who loved and cherished him. May the memories serve as a salve.

Words can't express my sadness. Words can't express my love for Bill, a friendship that began in 1967. Serendipitous events kept us in places where we could maintain that friendship for 58 years despite the vagaries of life. Marian and family, my you all be blessed with joyful memories; I know you have many.
Love,
George
