Mitchell Wolfe Obituary

Mitchell Todd Wolfe, 46, of Falls Bashan Road, Moodus, beloved husband of Janice Lee (Taylor) Wolfe, passed away Thursday, (October 9, 2003) at the Hartford Hospital after a long-standing chronic renal illness. Born November 25, 1956 in Hartford, he was a son of the late Herbert and Marcia Wolfe. He attended ECSU for a time and then went to Europe to continue his studies. Shortly thereafter, he assumed the family business as the 3rd generation proprietor of Gillespie & Sons Jewelers in Hartford for over 25 years. On October 19, 1989, he and Janice wed in West Hartford. Together, they attended Congregation Ahavath Achim in Colchester. His greatest happiness during his illness was watching his son play ball and spending his days at the lake with family and friends. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. In addition to his loving wife of 13 years, he is survived by two children, Brett of Moodus and Cierra of New Britain; a brother, Mark of Farmington; two sisters, Carolyn and husband, Jeff Gitlin of West Hartford and Allison Wolfe of Lake Worth, FL; his step-mother, Diedre Wolfe of Albuquerque, NM; a sister-in-law, Terri and husband, Richard Pangretic and their children, Gesine and Jason, all of East Hampton; a brother-in-law, Harold and wife, Elizabeth Taylor and their children, Drew and Remy, all of So. Windsor; his closest friends, Chris and Donna Luby of Marlborough and Dan and Kristie Evans of Colchester; and numerous extended family members and friends. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Monday at Congregation Ahavath Achim, 84 Lebanon Ave., Colchester with Rabbi Kenneth Alter, officiating. Burial will follow in Ahavath Achim Cemetery, Taintor Hill Road, Colchester. The family wishes to thank Dr. John D'Avella for his commitment, dedication and compassionate care. To support his ongoing efforts, they ask that donations be made either to the KidNeeds Program or the Professional Education Program of the National Kidney Foundation of Connecticut, 2139 Silas Deane Highway, Rocky Hill, CT 06067.

Hey Uncle Mitch I just wanted to take a few minutes to say hello and let you know how much you are missed by Wendy and I. I agree with Bruce in his thought that you will read these. It is that time of year when BTL's come out again. I hadn't smoked one since they became your favorite cigar, my BTL's became yours, and any I was able to buy or find were smoked by you. I smoked one the day God took you home, to sort 'share' one with you. Well I will be smoking one or two 'with' you this holiday season. We LOVE and MISS you Uncle Mitch

How sad and shocked I was to hear of Mitchell's passing!! My family knew Mitchell from way back, though we have lost touch as the years went by. I recognize a few of the names here, and I know that Mitchell was a spirit who will be missed by all. My sisters Heidi and Beth, and I, send our deepest sympathies to Mitchell's family. I have some very fond memories of great times with Mitchell. The world is truly a diminished place without him in it.

I am shocked to hear of Mitchell's passing. We go all the way back to elementary school at Norfeldt. He was a good friend growing up thru King Philip and then onto Hall. I have many fond memories of hanging out with Mitchell and friends. I would like to send my deepest sympathies to his family at this terrible time. There has been and always will be a warm smile on my face when I think of him.
