Edward J. Zaremba

Edward Joseph Zaremba, “EZ”, passed away on August 24, 2025 at the appropriate age of 69. He was born on October 15, 1955 in Middletown CT. Predeceased by his parents Loretta & Joseph Zaremba and sister Barbara Grieder. He is survived by his children: Derek (Shelley) Zaremba and Liza (Howard) Krider; his grandchildren: Madelyn, Torren and Brynden; nephews and his dear friend Rachel Sherman. He was a mechanic and partner at Madison Service Center, drove trucks for AA Zanardi and RJ/JJ Dibble Construction. EZ was a volunteer fireman for the Deep River Fire Department for 20 plus years, where he served as a Captain and Assistant Engineer (514). As an interior firefighter, EZ had no fear, he was always ready to pack-up and run into a burning building! This reputation was well known across neighboring departments! Many will remember him for his love of his Dodge Power Wagon, his crude jokes and anecdotes, his reputation as a 'ladies' man,' his signature smooches, his legendary persona as the Busch Master, the almighty Peerless, the unforgettable sight of him sticking his tongue to his nose, and of course, driving Beulah in the Memorial Day Parade.

A celebration of life will take place at the Swede Club in Deep River on September 20th from 1:00-3:00.
