Richard Mazewski Obituary
November 12, 1945 - January 13, 2024
Richard Thomas Mazewski, 78, passed away peacefully on January 13, 2024, after a brief illness, at Lake Norman Regional Medical Center in Mooresville, North Carolina. He was born on November 12, 1945, in New Jersey to John and Mary Harapas Mazewski.
Rich led a fulfilling life, including owning Blumberg Hardware in Manville, New Jersey for over 30 years. Known for his sarcastic wit, but his genuine love for others, Rich was a beloved figure in his community. He found satisfaction in helping others in any way he could, and his willingness to help was unwavering.
Outside of work, Rich had a wide range of interests and passions. He was an avid fan of all auto racing and rode motorcycles for 50 years, always finding excitement in the speed and adrenaline. When he wasn't enjoying the thrill of racing, Rich found solace in reading, TV/movies and music. He loved playing and watching sports, he passionately supported the New York Yankees and New York Giants. Also, he loved basketball and slow pitch softball. However, his greatest joy came from watching his son, Max, grow up into the man he is today.
Rich will be fondly remembered for his sense of humor, confidence and his boundless love for his wife, Kathy, and son, Max. His legacy will live on through the memories and love he shared with those around him.
He is survived by his beloved wife Kathleen "Kathy" Mazewski, their son Max Mazewski, his brother Raymond Mazewski (Jean), and his nephews Mark, Michael, and Craig Mazewski and their families. He was predeceased by his brother John Mazewski. He leaves behind many loving family and friends.
The family invites friends and loved ones to join them in honoring and remembering Richard's life. A Memorial Mass will be held on Saturday, January 27, 2024, at 11 a.m. at St. Therese Catholic Church in Mooresville, North Carolina, with Father Mark Lawlor officiating. A Celebration of Life Service will follow on Saturday, February 3, 2024, at 11 a.m. at Fairview United Methodist Church in Mooresville, with Reverend Nathan Finsel officiating.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that memorial donations be made to Mooresville Christian Mission or National Kidney Foundation in Richard's honor.
