Edward J. Capowski, 72, passed away peacefully on February 20, 2025, in New Britain, CT, surrounded by his children. He was born on March 5, 1952, in Yonkers, NY, to TJ and Christina Capowski and was the fifth of eight siblings.
Ed proudly served in the United States Air Force from 1975 to 1979, achieving the rank of Sergeant before his honorable discharge. Following his service, he built a successful career as a union carpenter, retiring in 2008. Beyond his work, Ed found joy in golf—despite their love-hate relationship—and took great pride in watching his sons play sports while also teaching them carpentry and valuable life skills. With his daughter, he shared a love for bowling and photography. In later years, he devoted time to home projects and cherished moments with his two granddaughters. Ed always considered his greatest accomplishment to be his children.
A devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle, Ed is survived by his wife of 42 years, Sarah Capowski; his three children: Adam and his wife Megan Capowski, along with their daughters Peyton and Haley; Justin and his wife Lauryn Capowski; and Elizabeth and her husband Tom Gately, eagerly awaiting the arrival of their son. He is also survived by his siblings: Robert (Faith) Capowski, Thomas (Stelli) Capowski, Donald Capowski, Peter (Mary) Capowski, Teresa (Pat) Knetter, James (Angie) Capowski, and Linda Arminio; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
A wake will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Fred McGrath Funeral Home, 20 Cedar St., Bronxville, NY 10708. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Ed’s name to the Prostate Cancer Foundation (www.pcf.org) or the Dementia Society (www.dementiasociety.org).
