Obituary of Stuart E. Madore, Jr.

     Mr. Stuart “Tweeter” E. Madore, Jr., 72, of Marcy, NY, passed away on Sunday, April 27, 2025, at Wynn Hospital, with his loving family by his side.

     Stuart was born in Utica, on February 14, 1953, the son of Stuart E., Sr and Mildred “Millie” (Hayes) Madore. He was raised in Clinton, NY and was a 1972 graduate of Clinton High School. On August 30, 1986, Stuart was united in marriage with Eileen Dziedzic, a loving and devoted union of 38 years. Stuart began his professional career in 1973, where he, along with his family, were owners and operators of Madore’s Chevron gas station/service station in Clinton. He continued his career as a mechanic at Felbo’s Garage in Clinton, later at Walmart Distribution Center in Marcy, and most recently, worked along side his dear friend, Kevin DeLett, Sr, at Kevin Peter DeLett Plumbing and Heating. Stuart was an excellent cook as well as a gifted mechanic, always assisting family and friends with any type of engine repair. He was an avid die-hard NY Yankees Fan, a Buffalo Bills fan and was especially known for his Christmas lights display, which was the envy of the neighborhood.  Stuart was always so proud of his wonderful eyesight, and upon his death, gave a final lasting gift, when he donated his cornea’s so that another person or persons may experience the beauty of sight.
