Steven A. Zanardi, 64, of Chester and Hampden, Maine, passed away surrounded by his family on Nov. 24. He was born in Middletown on May 6, 1953, the son of Arthur "Bud" and Carolyn "Connie" (Woodhouse) Zanardi.

Steve grew up in Chester and graduated from Valley Regional High School, class of 1971. He went on to graduate from the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy, class of 1976. Steve was a well-respected and dedicated pharmacist. His career path and gypsy spirit gave him the opportunity to travel extensively and form friendships wherever he went, from Caribou to Costa Rica. He enjoyed riding his Harley, networking with his small businesses, a cup of Dunkin' Donuts coffee, and most of all, spending time with his sons. Steve was a longtime friend of Bill W and an avid fan of the Red Sox and New England Patriots. Steve will be remembered as a loving father, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend to all.

Steve is survived by his sons Chris Zanardi of Corinth, Maine, and Keith Zanardi of Windham, Maine; sister Carol and her husband Tom Drag of Ivoryton; niece Ashley and her husband Eric Champion of Deep River; nephew Tim Carlson of Chester; mother of his children Sue Zanardi of Hampden, Maine; special cousin Jim Zanardi of Chester; and a large extended family of cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends too numerous to mention. He was predeceased by his parents.

Visiting hours will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Nov. 30 at Kiley & Foley Funeral Service, 299 Union St., Bangor, Maine. A graveside service will be held at 11 a.m., Dec. 2 at Fountain Hill Cemetery, High Street, Deep River, with a time of fellowship and refreshment following.

In honor of Steve's dedication to his profession, memorial donations may be made to the Steven A. Zanardi Memorial Scholarship, P.O. Box 347, Hampden, ME 04444.

Steve's family extends their deepest appreciation to the medical team at St. Raphael's Hospital, New Haven. Their compassion, professionalism, and guidance were immeasurable.

"I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith."
