Milton Emmanuel Mazarick

Milton E. Mazarick Memorial Park, located in Fayetteville, North Carolina, was named after a Kytherian Immigrant's son. Milton's father, Michael Mazarick, left Hora Kythera to make a life in America. Milton grew up in Vandergrift, Pennsylvania, and later made his way to Fayetteville, North Carolina. There he owned an appliance and music store. He was well-known in his community for supporting and promoting tennis and for his love of the game.
He served on the Parks and Recreation Commission from 1968 and became the Chairman of the Commission until his death in 1983. He was best known for his community service and zest for life. A monument at the park calls him, "God's ambassador in tennis shoes."
