Warren Lee Mazzocco

Warren Lee Mazzocco was called home on Sunday, September 15, 2019 after a courageous 19-year battle with prostate cancer and its progression. He was born May 27, 1942 in Ingram, PA to Olympia (Piazza) and Dominic Mazzocco. He is survived by his wife and best friend, Susan (Linda) Mazzocco, with whom he shared a beautiful 42 years of marriage; his step-father, Thomas Elias of Weirton (previously from McDonald, PA); his sister Gloria (Mazzocco) McElhaney and his brother-in-law Harold (Mack) of Cary, NC; his brother-in law Bruce Powelson and Patti; sister-in-law Pamela Jones, all of Weirton; 6 nieces and nephews and 6 great-nieces and great-nephews, and the son he never had, Gary Williams. He was preceded in death by his mother, Olympia (Mazzocco) Elias; his father Dominic Mazzocco; brother-in-law, Pete Jones, many Aunts, Uncles, and cousins and, of course, Zoe and Maggie. He graduated from Fort Cherry High School in 1960. He graduated Florence UTT Business School in 1962. He served in the Air Force Reserves where he was nominated Airman of the Year. Warren began his career with National/Weirton Steel in 1962 and retired with 33 years of service as Manager of Medical & Employee Benefits. During his career, he was appointed to the Workers’ Compensation Advisory Board, by then Gov. Caperton. He served as Chairman of the WV Self-Insurers Association. He worked on the ESOP Team, Weirton Management Club and Weirton Wellness Program. He enjoyed family vacations on the Carolina Beaches every year. But his real passion was collecting and selling Classic Cars and attending car shows and cruises. He also loved collecting automotive and advertising memorabilia with his best friend, Dave Rhoades. For over 40 years, they traveled to shows and swap-meets all over the east coast, and he proudly enjoyed his extensive collection. Many vendors they met over the years thought they were brothers, and in reality, they were. Warren was a kind, loving and generous man. He would help anyone who needed it. He will be sorely missed by anyone who knew him. He had a vast circle of friends and cherished every one of them. If you knew him, you loved him. Special thanks to Dr. Mohammad Pervais Rahman (his angel), Dr. Mark Trombetta, Dr. Atul Shetty and his nurse Jake and the entire staff at Valley Hospice. Friends will be received Wednesday 3 - 5 and 7 – 9 pm at the Greco-Hertnick Funeral Home, 3219 Main Street, Weirton, WV. A eulogy will be shared at 9 AM Thursday in the funeral home.
