Themistocli "Mitch" Ziu, age 97 of Trumbull, and beloved husband of Katherine Christo Ziu, passed away on Saturday, November 17, 2018, at his home with his loving wife by his side. Born on November 27, 1920 in Korçä, Albania, he was the son of the late Andrew and Olymbia Adam Ziu and came to America in 1927. Mitch grew up in Southbridge, Massachusetts, and graduated from the Cole Trade School as a Machinist. From 1940 to 1960, he worked at the American Optical Company as a machinist, toolmaker, and finally as a supervisor of the machine shop. He served with pride and honor in the United States Navy as an Aviation Radioman Gunner on the USS FDR from 1944 to 1946. Upon his return, he married the love of his life, Katherine Christo, on October 20, 1946. In 1960, he accepted a position as machine shop supervisor with the Perkin Elmer Company and moved his family to Fairfield, Connecticut. Mitch also worked at Electrolux in Greenwich, Connecticut, while going to school at night and earning his BSME from the University of Bridgeport in 1972. Before his retirement in 1988, he was a manufacturing engineer with the Unimation Corporation and then the Helicoil Corporation of Danbury, Connecticut. In his early years, Mitch was a member of the St. Michael's Romanian Orthodox Church in Southbridge where he served as president and secretary. Later, in Connecticut, he was a member of the St. Dimitrie Romanian Orthodox Church of Easton, served as the treasurer of the church council, and valued his time as a member of the St. Dimitrie's senior group. In his spare time, Mitch enjoyed Soduko and crossword puzzles, reading, and an occasional scotch. He loved to play the mandolin, go fishing, and make people laugh with his great sense of humor. He was handy, earned the nickname of Mr. Fix It, and was quick to have the barbecue tongs in one hand and coffee in another. He also loved to travel, spend time with his family, and loved to proudly wear the university hats of his grandchildren. Later in retirement, he enjoyed the warm weather, beach, and backwater fishing of Marco Island, Florida. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and kind friend who will be missed by all who knew him. In addition to his beloved wife Katherine of 72 years, survivors include eight loving children, Virginia Seccombe of Branford, Barbara McFarland of Austin, Texas, Patricia Berarducci (Tom) of North Haven, Chris Ziu (Abby) of St. Augustine, Florida, Sandra Bennett (Mark) of Austin, Texas, James Ziu (Cheryl) of Charlotte, North Carolina, Tim Ziu of Boston, Massachusetts, and Debra Bauer (David) of Wilton, twelve loving grandchildren, and three cherished great-grandchildren including many nieces and nephews. Mitch was predeceased by a young brother, George Ziu and an infant sister, Loretta as well as a brother, Mihail Ziu, and a sister, Mary Seferi. A funeral service will take place on Saturday, November 24, 2018 directly at St. Dimitrie Romanian Orthodox Church, 504 Sport Hill Rd., Easton at 11:00 a.m. Friends may greet the family on Saturday morning at the church from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m. Interment with full military honors will follow in Lawncroft Cemetery, Fairfield. Arrangements are in care of The Abriola Parkview Funeral Home, 419 White Plains Road, Trumbull.

Prayers of gratitude flowed on Sunday, September 17 as we surprised Fr George and Psa Marian with a coffee hour on the fourteenth anniversary of his Ordination to the Priesthood. Parish Council president Bob Nicola commented that "we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Fr George and we wouldn't be the community we are if he wasn't here to lead us."

After a chorus of " God Grant You Many Years, " Ladies President Betsy Cipu presented Psa Marian with a bouquet of flowers.   Fr. George  reminded us "it takes a village and we have to remember to love each other, love the Lord and love this community."  

"The people present are the main support of this parish and don't ever give that up. Bring your children, grandchildren and godchildren. Let this parish countinue when we are gone from here and our decendants take over for us."
La Multi Ani and Good Health to Fr George and Psa Marian from a grateful parish.
