Richard E. Kapusta Sr. “Rick,” 72, a lifelong resident of Stamford, CT, passed away on March 15, 2024 at his home.

Rick was born on May 10, 1951 in Stamford, CT to the late Florence Kapusta (Martinelli) and Edward F. Kapusta. He graduated from Fairfield Prep (1969) and Boston College (1973).

Rick is survived by his beloved wife of 51 years, Ellen Vezina Kapusta, his devoted children Beth Welsh, Richard (Mary) Kapusta Jr, and Andrew (Taylor) Kapusta, his sister, Lucille (Richard) Murray, brother in-law Scott (Melody)Vezina and his grandchildren Sean, Maeve, Luke, Rae, Evie, Shane and Drew. His presence will be felt in their lives forever.

Rick is predeceased by his brother Edward “Eddie” Kapusta.

One of Rick’s greatest accomplishments was his family. Rick and Ellen were introduced to one another through friends at the age of 16 and spent their years raising a family. Rick had a love for swimming, which he shared with his children. He had a passion for learning, reading, and bird watching. Rick spent his free time listening to music, tending to his garden, and watching his grandchildren grow up. He enjoyed spending summer days with his wife, children and grandchildren. Like his parents, he would spend the winter months in Florida alongside Ellen, always eager to catch the sunset and share it with his family. He will be remembered for his intellect, wisdom and guidance.

Rick was the owner of local family owned and operated Clean-Well Sewage Disposal for 50 years; a decade of which he ran with his late father. For the past 20 years, Rick has been working with his son Andrew. Over the years, Rick shared his knowledge and principles with Andrew, which enabled him to continue servicing our customers with excellence. Rick was very passionate about his company and the connections he made with his customers, as is his son. Family and friends will be received on Thursday March 21, 2024 from 4 to 8pm at Lacerenza Macari Family Funeral Home, 8 Schuyler Avenue, Stamford CT.
