John Astolfi Obituary
John J. Astolfi, age 60, of Shelton, beloved husband of Debbie Brighindi Astolfi, passed away after a brief illness on Thursday, January 13, 2022. Born in Bridgeport on September 16, 1961, he was the son of the late Egidio and Luisa Calicchia Astolfi. John worked as a Machinist for Cad Com Inc. John was witty, outgoing and fun loving. A great storyteller who could bring you to tears with laughter from his facial expressions and hand gestures. John loved mingling at a party going from person to person dropping a quick one liner then moving on. John was a proud Christian man who attended church regularly and would love to talk about his faith to anyone who would listen. John loved good food, a nice glass of wine and a good old movie. Most of all he loved spending time with his family, especially his wife Debbie. The unconditional love he gave to Debbie and to all his family members are memories that will forever live in their hearts. John will be truly missed by all who knew and loved him. In addition to his beloved wife of 23 years, Debbie, survivors include his sisters, Linda Masone and her husband Pasquale of Shelton, Liana Masone and her husband Rick of Shelton, Lisa Tucci and her husband Daniel of Charleston SC, his brother Michael Astolfi and his wife Diane of Fairfield, his mother-in-law, Mildred Brighindi, sister-in-law, Donna Burns and her husband Kenneth, as well as several nieces, nephews and friends.

I can't believe that it has been a year since John died. John was a man that everyone liked - just a good man, always willing to help. I enjoyed our discussions and frequently approached him for advice. I am sure his guidance is missed, but I miss the rare person that he was, always with Debbie's support.

John was special - he made it a pleasure to go in the shop. He knew what was going on and worked hard to keep the parts moving and make things better; but he always had a story and a laugh to ease the tension.
I have missed talks with Debbie and John's birthday kettle Danish. They made a great couple, taking care of each other. Stay well Debbie

Can't express how sorry I am to hear about John. My St Ray's buddy since second grade sharing so many great memories. Endless basketball at the Boys Club going to High School and excursions to Dad's wine cellar to test the wine and slice the prosciutto hanging from the ceiling. Great times so many laughs. I pray that your memories will fill your hearts with smiles too. Love to all of you!
