Guy Colaccino (Gaetano), 79 years old , born on October 22, 1939 passed away suddenly on March 9, 2019. Guy is survived by his loving wife, Joan (Curtis) of Middletown, CT, daughters Robin Kenefick of Columbia, CT, Brenda Ortiz of West Palm Beach, FL and Lisa Long of East Haddam, CT.  He also leaves behind his beloved sister, Theresa Piccolo, sister in laws, Frances and Maria as well many adored grandchildren and great grandchildren.  He was predeceased by his son, Joey and brothers Frank and Domenic. 

His beloved dog, Ruby, brought him so much joy and will miss his company.  Above all, Guy loved his family, enjoying gatherings and celebrations with family and friends.  He looked forward to spending his summers each year in NH at his wife's family camp where he served as the camp greeter and provided security detail.  Guy enjoyed watching the Red Sox play, UConn basketball games, gardening, restoring antiques, foraging wild mushrooms and wine making.  

In keeping with his wishes, we ask that you remember Guy by celebrating your life and the love for your family and friends. Raise a glass- coast to coast, country to country, to remember his life that was always lived authentically. Masses will be celebrated in CT, FL and Italy.

It has been an honor knowing such a man--rare to find--warm, friendly, kind, gifted, hard-working, honest and loved animals! I've been enriched to have known him. See you on the other side, Guy.

The three brothers are now together, in heaven.

Deepest condolences to Joan and family for your loss. Guy was a wonderful man and we'll miss him so very much ... he's a pillar of our little neighborhood. I remember when we first moved in, one afternoon we found Guy on our front porch, standing on a stepladder fixing our busted porch light. We didn't even ask ... he just quietly took care of it. He was that kind of neighbor. I always loved our front porch chats, his stories of life back in Italy, seeing pictures of his beautiful flowers at the camp, talking about wild dandelion greens salads .... he was the nicest neighbor we could ever wish for ... always a smile and a kind word. God bless you always Guy ... hope we can continue our front porch chats on the other side ♥♥♥

Joanie and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Guy was such a wonderful man. I loved his stories about Camp, the different jobs that he had, and growing up in Italy. I'm blessed to have known him.
Love you Guy and "the job comes first".
