Schuyler Dean Azur, 61, of 4 Summer Street passed away unexpectedly on January 17th. Schuyler was born in Montpelier on November 12, 1960. He attended Montpelier High School, graduating in 1978. He was a star athlete, serving as captain of both the basketball and football teams. After graduation, he worked at IBM, for the City of Montpelier, finishing his career with Dubois and King Construction. Schuyler had many passions, including playing men's softball and golfing at Montpelier Elks Club, hunting deer in the fall, and yelling at the TV while watching his beloved Red Sox, Celtics and Packers. Schuyler leaves behind many life-long friends, who are having a hard time imagining life without hearing his distinct laughter or greeting him on the street with a loud: "Ayyyy-zuuur!" Schuyler is pre-deceased by his father Philip Azur and his mother Beverly Azur, both of Montpelier, and his brother Neil Stevens III of Montpelier. He is survived by his sister Narra Walters of Concord North Carolina, his niece, Krystal Miller of Concord and his great nieces and great-nephew: Makayla Walters, Chase Miller, Abbie Miller and Savannah Miller, all of Concord, North Carolina.
