George Paster Obituary

Paster, George
George E. Paster, (aka Pastuszak), 89, died May 6 after a short illness at Danbury Hospital. He was born in Stamford and lived there until he retired to Stuart, FL with his beloved wife Ann, deceased. George lived life fully as a loyal employee of MarLe Co., a talented football player, and consummate musician, maintaining his trumpet playing until his eighties. He was a graduate of Stamford High School, class of 1942, before going on to attend Manhattan College and later playing semi-pro football. In addition, George was inducted into the Stamford "Old Timers" Sports Hall of Fame. He was also very active in the Lower Fairfield County Bowling Assoc., holding positions of president and treasurer. George took pride in all his life's endeavors. However, nothing made him more proud than his loving children and grandchildren. He is survived by his daughter Georgann, son-in-law Bob Frey of Ridgefield, son Ted Paster, daughter-in-law Diane of Brookfield, his grandsons Daniel and Tyler, and granddaughter Allie. In addition, his extended family of nieces and nephews will remember him with love and humor. A private family burial will take place at Fairfield Memorial Park.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any man's death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
