PUTNAM — Albert Lawrence Zadziejko of Putnam died peacefully April 18, 2024. Born Oct. 3, 1943, in Queens New York he was the son of Adam Zadziejko and Anna Zadziejko (Guertin) who predeceased him.
He will be dearly missed by his loving wife, Lourdes, of 23 years. They were always at each other’s side, constant companions, and best friends. And sadly missed by his daughter, Dee Gascon; his sons, Gregory and Michael Zadziejko, passed before him. He leaves two brothers, Charles Guertin (Gayle) and Peter Guertin, three granddaughters, Sarah, Erin, and Angela Gascon; nephews and nieces.
Everyone who met Al commented on what a special person he was. Al and Lourdes spent every waking moment together. He was a very caring and devoted husband. Lourdes has lovingly cared for him this past year.
He loved his family very much and was a devoted dad to his children. He shared a special bond with his daughter, Dee, that was priceless. That loving bond carried through to his three granddaughters.
Al was hard working and enjoyed staying busy all the time. He worked at Anchor Glass for 30 years. At the end of his career, he worked for 16 years at Nutmeg Container before retiring in 2016.
Over the years he attended several churches and faithfully served at each one. Al was always willing to share his faith in Jesus telling those he met “I’ll see you in church!”
There will be no public wake or memorial service. Burial will be at the family’s discretion. Gilman Funeral Home & Crematory, 104 Church St., Putnam.
