John Anagnos Obituary

"If I could do it all over again I would in an instant." John George Anagnos son of George and Rita Anagnos left our world unexpectedly on July 16, 2019 at Hartford Hospital. John was born on August 19, 1941 in Hartford and resided in the greater Hartford area. John was well known as the president of City Fish Market in Wethersfield, which he had been involved in since the young age of sixteen. He was the architect and mastermind of its stellar service, quality and reputation. John was a very religious man, believing and living the words of the Bible. He had always been an eloquent speaker as a businessman or as a confidant to anyone willing to listen to his wisdom. John loved to travel all over the world as well as had a special place in his heart with the "Friendly" island of St. Maarten. He never stopped experiencing what life has to offer, whether it be as an aviator of helicopters and airplanes, reading all types of books, tasting delicious cuisines, or sightseeing the wonders of our world. John was a loving father and grandfather to all of his children and he never held any favorites, he treated each the way he would like to be treated. He is survived by his wife of 40 years Janet who he shared seven children with as well as sixteen grandchildren who will truly miss their "Papa." We mourn the passing of John George Anagnos, a "great" man. Most individuals will be remembered as a "good" person and to be one is a tremendous achievement in life. John George Anagnos had compassion and genuineness for all people, he would listen to any that asked for his guidance, and his heart was open to everyone. You will always be a part of us and we will miss you. Calling hours will be at the Glastonbury Funeral Home on Thursday July 18, 2019 from 4 pm to 8 pm. Continued calling on Friday at the Glastonbury Funeral Home 1 pm to 2:30 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Henry Low Heart Center, Hartford Hospital.

Dearest Jan & family,

We are saddened to learn of the passing of John. Our thoughts and prayers go to Jan and the entire family. John was such a generous person. Through the years when our kids would fundraise for GHS or other organizations he was always there to support. We've been invited to many events at his home and he & Jan attended many of our fundraisers. We would love to run into Jan & John at 2Hopewell or the local grocery stores. He will be missed by many in Glastonbury and the Hartford area.
Our hearts to out to all the children and grandchildren. May god be with you during this most difficult time.
The Lemmon family is sending love and hugs to the Anagnos Family.

My sympathy to the family. I would certainly would have come to one of the calling hours in Glastonbury at the Funeral Home had I known about John passing. John was the person to help organize the 1959 50th class reunion. In 2009 I went to his desk and said did you know this is the year of our 50th class reunion. Yes I know so what have you done. I have come to you to see if we could find a committee. Well lets get started. Well what a reunion with many classmates. a Get acquainted party Friday night and a fabulous party Saturday night. I will always remember what a wonderful host he was.

Dear Janet & all of John's family,
Words, alone, cannot express the profound dismay that is felt over the passing of a friend and a true GENTLEman. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Mary & I will savor lasting memories whenever we partake of baked stuffed shrimp dinners, reminiscent of those that Mary had so aptly made many years ago in Wethersfield, thanks to John and City Fish!
R.I.P., John, and may you find eternal peace in the house of our Lord.
Our deepest and most sincere condolences go out to the entire family.
God bless.

Very sad to hear of the passing of this wonderful man. I can remember going into City Fish many, many years ago with my mom. Since my mom and dad knew him because they owned a restaurant in East Hartford, we would go into John's office and he would put our order in so we didn't have to wait in line - that made me feel so special. May he rest in peace and heaven has gained a wonderful and kind man.
