George Vladomiro Sumberaz

“It is more blessed to give than to receive”; Acts 20:35.

George Vladomiro Sumberaz, age 61, passed away peacefully on February 21, 2026
surrounded by his loving family and friends. A native New Yorker, George was a recent resident of New Milford, CT but lived for many years in Ridgefield, CT where he raised his family. His generosity knew no bounds. George was a loving father, husband, cousin, treasured friend and a beautiful soul who would help anyone. His fun-loving, passionate spirit and zest for life lit up any room he entered. George loved playing his guitar, reading history, spending time with his therapy dog, Rosie, enjoying a great home-cooked meal and listening to a variety of music, especially heavy metal. Most of all, he cherished being a father to Nicholas and Philip.

As a professional, George excelled as a tax accountant. A graduate of NYU, George
received his formative education at Xavier High School in New York City. George lived life to the fullest and would want us all to do the same – including showing kindness and generosity to those we know and to those we don’t. In honor of his memory, please do a good deed for someone today.

Although George is gone, he will live in our hearts forever. He is survived by his sons Philip Sumberaz (Jenna Wiegand) and Nicholas Sumberaz; by their mother and his former wife, Nancy Lizzul Sumberaz; his aunt, Maggie Mudd , the widow of his uncle, Fulvio Dobrich and his Dobrich cousins Erin (Eric Jordan), Jack (Caroline) and Andy; his uncle, Miro (Carol) Sumberac and his Sumberac cousins Richie, Bob, Michael, and Mark; his closest and dearest friends Joe (Jolene) Todaro, Tom (JoAnn) Saitta, and Peter (Lucinda) Manzi. His parents, Marina Dobrich and Stefano Sumberaz predeceased him.
