James J. Petrosky, 64, of Windsor, passed away at his home on Monday, August 25, 2014.
He was the loving husband of Theresa (Wydra) Petrosky for 30 years.
Born on February 13, 1950 in New Britain CT, to Bernice (Mahoney) Petrosky and the late Joseph Petrosky, he grew up in Burlington and has been a Windsor resident since 1994.
James proudly served his country in the U.S. Air National Guard for over 6 years. He enjoyed woodworking and fishing. He retired after many years of working as a mechanical engineer.
In addition to his wife Theresa and his mother Bernice Petrosky of Ft. Meyers, FL; he is survived by his daughter Carly Fortin and her husband Alan of Southington; two grandchildren, Emerson and Alexis; his two sisters, Arlene Franchini and her husband Phil of Ft. Meyers, FL and Joan Clifford of Westfield, MA and many nieces and nephews.
My sincere condolences go to Jim’s family. There were three of us sharing a dormitory room freshman year at Williston. He will always be remembered
We called him Petro in Memorial Dorm; and in a scene right out of the movie “Rounders”, Petro got me on the right track. Thanks. With that hair he must have been doing TV commercials which would link his smile to just receiving a residual check.
