He was a member of the Hartford Saengerbund and the Hartford Gun Club, and a collector of all things. John is survived by his loving daughter Victoria DeVeau and her husband Douglas of East Hampton, and his three beloved grandchildren Iris, Elise and Devin. He was predeceased by his two sisters Ruth Bliss and Virginia Williamson. A Graveside service with Military Honors will be held Monday May 13th at 2:00 PM in the Connecticut State Veteran’s Cemetery on Bow Lane in Middletown.
