Nicholas R. Mazzarone, age 95 of Middlebury, VT, a 44 year resident of Wayne, NJ, passed into the perpetual care of our Lord on Tuesday, January 10, 2012.

Nicholas was born and raised in Paterson, NJ and attended Public School #26 and Eastside High School. He was an athletic man, excelling at football and always keeping physically fit. As a young man, Nicholas left school early to help support his family. He was employed by the Erie Railroad and later by the Watson-Flagg Machine Company which was eventually purchased by General Electric in the late fifties. Nicholas played a vital role in the war effort with Watson-Flagg producing gear and ball bearing motors for the Navy and Army Air Corp. In 1964, he built a home in Wayne where he and his wife Anne raised their family before he retired in 1982. He was a skilled craftsman and an active member of the Wayne Elks. He continued to work part-time after retirement. They sold their home in Wayne in 2008 and moved to independent living in Middlebury, VT.

Nicholas and Anne had two children, a son Robert and a daughter Lori. Robert attended Paterson Eastside High School, served with the U.S. Air Force and graduated from William Paterson College in 1972. Robert has one son, Jonathan, age 27 who is engaged to be married and resides in Ewing, NJ. Robert is now semi-retired and currently resides with his wife Georgeanne in Harbeson, DE.

Lori attended Wayne Hills High School and graduated from Georgian Court University in 1997. She resides with her husband David Girard in Benson, VT. Lori has two sons, Steven Tursi, age 30 and Brian Tursi, age 27. Steven and his wife, Cristina live in Jackson, NJ. Brian and his wife Nicole are newlyweds and reside a short distance from Lori and David.

Nicholas is survived by his loving wife, Anne, age 94 formerly, Anne Bennardo of Paterson. She also graduated from Eastside High School and held several administrative positions before becoming a full time mother and homemaker. Anne still resides at their home in Middlebury, VT. They were married in 1941 and recently celebrated their 70th anniversary.
