AT THE O'NEILL FUNERAL HOME, Peter Dzioba, age 61, of Colonial St. Watertown, died Wednesday August 6, 2008 in Seattle WA after a tragic accident. He was the husband of Mary (Malarkey) Dzioba.
Peter was born September 11, 1947, in a displaced persons camp in Germany, the son of the late Semen and Paraskevia (Osyka) Dzioba. At the age of two, he immigrated to New York with his family, eventually settling in Perth Amboy NJ. He graduated from Perth Amboy High School in 1965 and was a veteran of the US Army, having proudly served his country in the Vietnam War. He worked for Anaconda Copper and Brass and Sel-Rex Inc in Nutley NJ and joined McDermid Inc in 1989 as a Technical Specialist and moved his family to Watertown CT. Peter was a loving and devoted husband and father and always found the time for long discussions with his children. A good and loyal friend to many, Peter served his community through his volunteer work with many civic organizations including the Waterbury Dept. of Mental Retardation, positions on the Watertown Public Buildings Committee and Torrington Health District Board, and his work with various educational groups in Watertown. A scientist, comedian and handyman, Peter's insatiable curiosity and boundless enthusiasm will survive in all those who knew him well.
Besides his loving wife, Mary of 27 years, Peter is survived by four children, his sons, Patrick, Colin and Matthew and daughter, Kelly all of Watertown, a sister, Ann Makar of Perth Amboy NJ, four brothers, Paul of Howell NJ, John of Cazenovia NY, Raymond of Rutherford College NC and Stephen of North Plainfield NJ as well as many nieces and nephews.
