Obituary for George W. Brazel Jr.

George W. Brazel Jr.
George W. Brazel, Jr. 82, of West Hartford, beloved husband of Mary (Donahue) Brazel for over 56 years, passed away on September 7, 2015 surrounded by his loving family. Born in Hartford on September 18, 1932, son of the late George W. Brazel, Sr. and Mary E. (O'Donnell) Brazel, George’s smiling Irish eyes were the same at 82 as on his first communion. George attended Weaver High School and was a U.S Naval veteran. He was employed by Metropolitan district for over 34 years, retiring as Superintendent of Operations in 1990. He was a member of the American Legion Hayes-Vellhage Post # 96, MDC Men's Club and in his retirement, a traveling handyman for his grateful daughters-in-law (and sons).
George was a devoted and talented West Hartford Youth Sports Coach for 10 years. He was an avid outdoorsman and the proudest of grandfathers.
In addition to his beloved wife Mary, he is survived by four sons: Michael and his wife Mary of Boxford, MA, Timothy and his wife Susan of Elkridge, MD, Thomas of New Britain, CT and Brendan and his wife Jill of Hingham, MA; a brother James N. Brazel and his wife Mary of Meriden,CT; nine grandchildren Megan, Maura, Hannah, Matthew, Andrew, Emily, Aidan, William, and Benjamin; and many devoted nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by one son Matthew J. Brazel and infant daughter Mary Elizabeth Brazel.


George leaves behind a legacy of love, and laughter, to the so many people that loved him.
