John Joseph Mysliwiec

 John Joseph Mysliwiec, 51, passed away unexpectedly on Dec. 31, 2010. He was the loving husband of Pia Mysliwiec, the gentle and patient father of his five children, and the son of the late Joseph and Ruth Mysliwiec. John went to St. Thomas Aquinas High School in New Britain, and graduated with an Accounting Degree from Central Connecticut State University. He worked for Aetna for 20 years, and later was president and CFO of his own real estate company in Glastonbury. He was a loving and very faithful Roman Catholic, who dedicated all of his free time to his family and home. He enjoyed canoeing and spending special time with his children in the summer, and the daily tasks of fatherhood, such as homework late into the night, or watching his son's crew races or his daughter performing on stage, reading and playing with Charlotte, and sitting down for family meals and prayers every night. He completely supported and guided the family and will be so unbelievably missed. He leaves his loving wife, Pia Mysliwiec, and his five children, Christian, Miles, Simon, Emmeline and Charlotte, of whom he was so proud of their accomplishments, their faith, and love and affection for one another. He also leaves his four siblings and their spouses and children, Susan and her husband James Pentalow of Mooresville, North Carolina, and their children, Jennifer (and her fiancé Vincent of Montclaire, New Jersey), Gabriella and James; James Mysliwiec and his wife Susan of New Britain, and their children, Melinda and her husband Adam Rembisz, Shane and Amanda; Kathy Mercak and her husband James of Tequista, Fla., and their children, Jason and Melissa, also a dear goddaughter to John; and his younger brother, William Mysliwiec of Plainfield, New Jersey, of whom he had dear memories growing up with. In addition to his siblings, he leaves Pia's close relatives, including his wonderful and thoughtful mother-in-law, Gina Tarascio of Newington; his brother-in-law, Joseph Tarascio and his wife Norma of Florida; his sister-in-law, Anna Accaputo of Glastonbury, and her children, Max, and Giorgiana Hunt and her husband Michael, and their children, Michael, Michela, Michon and Malia; his brother-in-law, Dario Tarascio of Rocky Hill, and his wife, Licia, and their children, Gina, and Carmelo and his wife, Tanya, and their children, Anthony and Savannah.
