Stephen Ewasick

April 7, 1927 - April 22, 2019

Stephen Ewasick, lifelong resident of Hudson, NY, passed peacefully at age 92, and He did it His way — for life. Born in Hudson in the house His Father built, He is the son of John and Frances Ewasick. Kids those days had odd jobs for money and he set up bowling pins for pennies a game. He graduated from Hudson High School; Served in Merchant Marines, Army, and National Guard where He saw the world. Steve returned to His family’s home and went on to start a family with Marilyn. He joined Hawver & Ewasick Roofing, Inc., a business with His brother. He was a proud lifelong member of C.H. Evans Hook and Ladder. Steve enjoyed traveling with Marilyn, with the Greenport Seniors group. They also had a vegetable garden every summer. He also liked to hunt and fish and boat. He was a former member of Hook Boat Club in Stuyvesant; and Fish And Game Club in Claverack. Fiercely independent, Steve drove His red truck to the river every day that He could, where He would “run into” friends to chat with. He never missed watching a NY Yankees game. He was the world’s oldest gamer, daily playing Pinball on His Atari 2600 gaming system . He is survived by His four children Stephen Jr. (Yvonne), Cheryl, Nancy DeLamater (John Carpentier), Mary Murphy (Joseph); four grandchildren, Stephen Ewasick, Lauren Cady (Jeff), Brett DeLamater (Jayne) and Christine Ewasick. And, Brother-in-law Joseph Cesternino. Also, several nephews, niece, and friends. He was predeceased by His wife of 62 years, Marilyn; His parents; brother, Michael and sister-in law, Martha; sister, Mary and brother-in-law, Joseph Murell; and sister-in-law, Elizabeth Cesternino. He will be missed for His sense of humor and for telling it like it is. Love You, Pops.
