George G. Chamiec, 84, of Trumbull, beloved husband of 43 years to the late Anna Korzystka Chamiec, died suddenly November 22. Born in Lezajsk, Poland, January 21, 1923, he was the son of Peter and Apolonia Wienclaw Chamiec.

At the age of 16, during World War II, Mr Chamiec left Poland to work in Germany for better opportunities and sent financial support to his family. There he resided for ten years while he pursued the plumbing trade in Wurtenburg. In 1950, he immigrated to the United States, where he lived in New Haven and Bridgeport.

A resident of Trumbull since 1972, he was a loyal employee to the following places as operations manager specific to heating and cooling for all plants: Warner Brothers, Remington Arms of Bridgeport, Connecticut State Department of Corrections, and McKesson Laboratories.

 He was religiously affiliated with St Mary’s Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Holy Protection of Blessed Virgin Mary, and St Michael the Archangel Church. He was a member of the Ukrainian Club of Southport and had been a contributor to Cancer Research and Development.

Mr Chamiec was a loving and loyal husband, father, grandfather, and father-in-law. His dedication to his family was consistent throughout his life. This type of dedication was also evident in his desire to help wherever he could, be it his family, church family, or a friend in need. He was also very committed to the churches to which he belonged, serving on various committees and was known to preserve the edifices of worship not only through his committee work, but also restoration, repairs, and improvements. He took great pride in his work and shared his skills with those around him. Mr Chamiec was very proud of his family and roots and was a great role model for family unity.

Funeral services were held November 26 in the Commerce Hill-Radozycki Funeral Home, Bridgeport and in Holy Protection of Blessed Virgin Mary, Bridgeport, for a Funeral Mass. Burial was in Lakeview Cemetery.
