John Segar Obituary

Our beloved John has passed on to his reward. He was a devoted son, father, husband, and friend. He served in the United States Navy on the Tanker USS Severn during the Vietnam War era refueling other ships in their Armada. They participated in the Israeli Six Day war rescuing Americans. He is predeceased by his parents Edward and Vera Segar of Hartford. He retired from Aetna after thirty three years. He was known for his smile, wit, and caring influence, as well as being a hard worker. John leaves behind his beloved wife Linda (Gregson) Segar, sons; Timothy Scott Segar and partner Missy, Robert Segar and wife Nicole. He was respectful and friendly regardless of another's station in life, and he had a good rapport with people. He also enjoyed his grandchildren Samantha Norman, Luke Segar, Amanda Segar, Caela Segar, and Delaney Segar. Also Michael Segar and Briana Segar. John enjoyed many competitive tennis matches over the years with friend Arthur and also his own sons. Of course we'll never forget those "Road Kill Throw Down" picnics with friends and family and also many happy times at Clinton Beach escapades and Newfound Lake. As a child, he made many happy memories on his grandparent's farm growing up including peddling produce and throwing grapes with his cousins. His presence will be missed. Funeral services will be private at the request of the family. In lieu of flowers, consider a donation to the Farmington Valley Visiting Nurse Association or other hospice organization of your choice. Arrangements are being handled by the Ahern Funeral Homes Inc. To send online condolences please visit wwwAhernfuneralhome.com
