Edward S. Miezianka of Speonk died on December 18, 2018. He was 87.

Mr. Miezianka was born on September 12, 1931, in Riverhead and was one of the original members of the “Polish Town Terrors” and nicknamed “Whitey.”

A veteran of the United States Navy, he was stationed in the Mediterranean aboard the USS Muliphen AKA-61 (LST). He served in the military from 1955 to 1957. After returning from overseas, he followed his passion for trucking and went back to work at John Miezianka Trucking of Riverhead.

In 1960, he was hired by the Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton as a laborer. During his time there, he participated in advanced training in Texas, which enabled him to become a supervisor of rigging. He retired in 1993.

Mr. Miezianka is survived by his wife, Joan; daughters, Cheryl Ann (John) Kuhn and Brenda Lee (Scott) Sinclair; grandsons, Michael Edward Miezianka and William Edward (Averie) Sinclair; great-grandchildren, Ela and Liam Sinclair; sister Estelle Wilczewski; and several generations of nieces and nephews.
