Mitchell Widun Obituary
Born in Hartford on Dec. 10, 1932, he was the son of the late Mitchell S. and Gladys (Jurglewicz) Widun. After graduating from Buckley High School in 1951, Mitch enlisted in the U.S. Army and served during the Korean Conflict as a proud member of the 82nd Airborne. He retired from Airborne Express in 1994 and was a 30-year member of Teamsters Local 671. He enjoyed cheering on his favorite teams, the Boston Red Sox, the New York Giants, and the men's and women's UConn basketball teams. Mitch also enjoyed fishing. Nothing meant more to Mitch than his family and his faith.
Besides his wife, he also leaves his sons, Mitchell R. Widun and Helen Czumak of Greenville, S.C., Stephen Widun and Brenda Friedrich, Jeffery Widun and Michelle Galbraith, and William Widun, and his wife, Elizabeth, all of Enfield; as well as his eight grandchildren, Stacey, Corey, Todd, and his wife, Leila, Kevin, Jacqueline, Elizabeth, Stephanie, and Jordyn; one great-granddaughter, Leah; and many cousins and extended family, including his godchildren, Lynelle Palencia and Joseph Miano.
A visitation for Mitch will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 23, 2013, from 5 to 8 p.m. at Leete-Stevens Enfield Chapels, 61 South Road. A funeral procession will gather at Leete-Stevens on Thursday, Oct. 24, 2013, at 9 a.m. for a Mass of Christian Burial to be celebrated at 10 a.m. at Holy Family Church, 23 Simon Road, Enfield.

I've only known you a short time, and what I saw was a kind, caring and gentle man with a great sense of humor. I will miss you, but most of all I want to THANK YOU for giving me the best gift of all, your son Jeff who loves me with all his heart and soul. For without you, there would be no him. I see so much of you in him...an incredible man. Rest In Peace.
