Mr. Daniel S. Dzury of Macungie, PA, died while in hospice care at Arden Courts of Allentown, in Allentown, PA, on August 17, 2016. He was 86 years old.

Daniel is survived by his wife Donna Huffman Dzury, of Macungie, PA; his son Stephen Dzury and Daughter-In-Law Michele Dzury of Devon, PA; his daughter Christine Struzienski and Son-In-Law Craig Struzienski of Neshanic Station, NJ; and his sister Zoya Dzury Rakowski and Brother-In-Law Leon Rakowski of Nanticoke, PA. He is also survived by his grandchildren Nicolas, Adriana and Keira; and his niece, Melissa. Daniel was born on May 14, 1930 in Wilkes-Barre, PA to Helen and Michael Dzury.

Dan was a 1948 graduate of GAR High School, and attended Wilkes College, graduating with a BS in Biology in 1952. Daniel also obtained his MS in Biology from New York University in 1958. Dan had a lengthy career working as a chemist and in other capacities, at Boyle Midway, a division of American Home Products, in Cranford, NJ, beginning in 1952. He met his wife Donna while working at Boyle Midway, and married her in 1969. While at Boyle Midway, he took great pride in developing a number of well-known home products, such as Wizard Air Fresheners, and Easy-Off Oven Cleaner. It goes without saying that friends and family of Dan always had spotless ovens and the freshest smelling homes! Dan was an accomplished singer, and sang tenor both in the choir at St. Peter and Paul Russian Orthodox Church in Elizabeth, NJ, as well as with the Russian Liturgical Singers, and later, the Cappella Male Chorus. Dan's family and friends remember his generosity, his love and concern for his family, and his willingness to help anyone. They also fondly remember his Woody Woodpecker imitation.
