Obituary of Stewart Librizzi
Stewart Librizzi, born on March 9, 1945, in Manhattan, passed away on November 6, 2024, in Florida at the age of 79.
A life well-lived, Stewart was a proud husband, father, and grandfather. He spent his formative years in Brooklyn and on Staten Island , where he built a career as a dedicated and respected bus driver for the city—a role he embraced until his retirement. Stewart's easygoing nature and common-sense approach to life endeared him to many.
An ardent fan of the New York Yankees, Stewart could often be found cheering for his favorite team, a passion he shared with friends and family. Above all, he was a man who believed in the power of community and the importance of being there for others.
Stewart regularly attended Sunday mass. Family meant everything to Stewart. He was a devoted grandparent, relishing the moments spent taking his cherished granddaughter Alexa and her cousin Myla, who he also considered a granddaughter, to school.
He was a rock for his family and friends, ever-present and willing to lend a helping hand or a listening ear. Stewart's life was a testament to quiet strength and gentle perseverance.
Stewart's beloved wife, Maryann, and his siblings Lenny and Gloria have predeceased him. He leaves behind a legacy of love and kindness through his son, Peter, his daughter, Lisa, his son in law, Anthony and granddaughter Alexa. They will continue to cherish the memories of a father and grandfather who nurtured and supported them unconditionally.
Stewart's passing leaves a void in the hearts of those who knew him, but his spirit and joy for life will live on.
