TRENTON - Christopher W. Mier Sr., a Trenton area resident for the past 60 years, died on Wednesday at Compassionate Care Hospice located at St. Francis Hospital in Trenton. Christopher was 86 years of age.
.
Chris was predeceased by his son Randall M. and his wife Peggy Maskowski Mier, originally of Pottstown, PA. Chris Mier was born Konstanty Vladik Mierzejewski on Dec. 2, 1921 in Archibald Borough, located near Mayfield, PA. In 1925, his family relocated with him back to their ancestral home in Poland. Following the German invasion of Poland in 1939, Chris, then 17, was apprehended and shipped to Germany as a forced laborer. He remained a prisoner and laborer for six years under the Nazi regime, until freed by advancing Russians in 1945 when he returned to the family home in the village of Bobin, located near Ostroleka, Poland. On Oct. 18, 1946, Chris was granted Travel Order Number 525 by the U.S. Embassy in Warsaw allowing him to be repatriated to the United States of America for permanent residence. He settled in Pennsylvania and learned the electrical trade. In 1948 he married Peggy Maskowski and moved to Trenton.
.
Chris started and retired from his own electrical contracting firm, Chris' Electric, which he ran for four decades. A lifelong area electrician, Chris was a co-founder of the Central Jersey Electrical League, which in the 1960s was pivotal in the first state licensing of electrical contractors. Chris was a longtime parishioner of St. Hedwig's Catholic Church, and most recently of Holy Cross Catholic Church in Trenton. He was a member of BPOE Elks Bordentown Lodge 2085, Trenton Polish Business and Professional Men's Association, Padre Junipero Serra Club of Trenton, Delaware Valley Businessmen's Association and the Central Jersey Electrical League and various Hamilton/Trenton senior organizations.
