Robert Charles Ewen

Robert C. Ewen, 73, of Washington Ave. Seymour, entered into eternal life on Friday Dec. 1, 2017 in the comfort of his home with his devoted pal Ginger at his side. Bob was the beloved husband of the late Diana Piscitelli Ewen. Bob was born in Derby on Sept. 26, 1944, son of the late Walter J. & Margaret (Tiano) Ewen, Sr. He was employed by American Brass for many years. In his younger days he lived life on the edge with fast cars and no challenge too great. Bob was deeply religious and was a communicant of St. Augustine Church. In the sunset of his life he was proud to be a funeral assistant and facilities manager at the Chepulis Funeral Home. Bob loved life and always extended a smile and welcoming hand to all he encountered. He treasured his escapes to the casino and was always waiting for the "prize patrol" to show up at his house. He enjoyed watching movies, the NY Yankees, wrestling and listening to the music of Elvis. He loved the Christmas season and extensively decorated his home. He will be sadly missed. In addition to his wife, Diana, he was predeceased by his son, John Robert, and his beloved brother, Walter J. Ewen, Jr. Bob is survived by his daughter, Robyn (Joseph) Dulla of Ansonia; granddaughter, Tabitha Dulla of NY; aunt & uncle, Florence & John Tema of Derby; brother in law, Paul (Carol) Piscitelli of Derby; nephews, Scott (Debbie) Ewen of TN, Mark (Joy) Ewen of Derby, TJ (Michelle) Piscitelli of Woodbury, Paul (Cathy) Piscitelli of Prospect; and niece, Rachel (Ryan) Pfeiffer of Middlebury. Bob is also survived by his dear friends, Bill, Tony Dulla, Joe Rogalis, Ginger Ewen and Anne Chepulis. Funeral Services will be held on Thursday Dec. 7 at 10:30am at the Anthony V. Chepulis Funeral Home 47 Washington Ave Seymour for a 11am Mass of Christian Burial at St. Augustine Church with Rev. Will Malave officiating. Private burial will occur at Pine Grove Cemetery.
