James L. Geanuracos

James L. Geanuracos, age 91, of Easton, beloved husband of the late Mary (Greco) Geanuracos, entered into eternal rest on Saturday, March 12, 2016 surrounded by his loving family.

Jim was born in Bridgeport to the late Louis and Anna (Koutrakos) Geanuracos. He was a World War II U.S. Army veteran. Jim was raised in a large, close Greek family. When he was young, he excelled at baking and worked at the family's business, Hellenic Bakery. He continued to prepare fabulous baked goods for family and friends until his recent illness. Jim was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend to many. Time spent with his family was his priority in life. He retired from Sikorsky Aircraft as a foreman.

Survivors include two beloved children, Ann Geanuracos and her husband, John Frascone of Danbury and Stanley Geanuracos and his wife, Mirella, of Easton; two cherished grandchildren, Daniella and James Geanuracos; one sister, Theresa Nardi of NY; and many nieces and nephews. He was also honorary grandfather to Daniel, Giulia, Frankie, Lidia, Claudia, Ali and Bijan. In addition to his wife and parents, he was predeceased by his son, Louis; two sisters, Florence Nevers and Stella Nardi; and three brothers, Charles, George and Constantine "Gus" Geanuracos.

The family would like to acknowledge and thank our cousins, Louie Geanuracos and Annie Williams along with Jim's caregiver, Fatima, for the outstanding and compassionate care they gave to Dad over the last few years. We are forever grateful!
