William R. Mazzulla Jr.

William was born on January 5, 1929, to Philomena DelCorno Mazzulla and William Reynard Mazzulla Sr. in Queens, New York. He was an only child.

He was drafted into the US Army during the Korean crisis and was stationed in Germany.

In 1954, William married Anne Reed. They moved to Danbury, Connecticut, where he began a career with Sikorsky Aircraft that lasted over 30 years. He started by testing helicopter electrical systems in-flight and rose to become a supervisor in the electrical engineering department.

William and Anne raised five children: William III (Rosemary) of Maine, Thomas (Paula) of North Carolina, James (Joyce) of Georgia, Mark of Tennessee, and Teresa Dolecki (Greg) of Connecticut. After Anne’s passing in 1988, William married Stella Nalezynski in 1995, and they shared nearly 30 years together. He loved his two stepchildren, Eric Kropiwnicki of Connecticut, and Beata Kennedy (John) of Connecticut. He also enjoyed his grandkids and great grandkids.

William was a faithful member of Brookfield Assemblies of God since the mid-1970s, and made sure his children were raised in the Christian faith.

He enjoyed conversations about dogs and cars, target shooting, telling jokes, and sharing adventurous stories from his younger days.

William will be remembered for his devotion to family, his strong faith, and his ability to bring warmth and humor to every room he entered.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held at 12:00pm on Friday, September 12, 2025, at Brookfield First, 133 Junction Rd., Brookfield, CT with the Rev. Phil Morgan officiating. Burial will follow in Resurrection Cemetery, Route 25, Newtown, CT.
