Henry (HANK) P. Petroski was born February 14, 1939. He silently passed away on October 23, 2015. He had been enjoying retirement in Sarasota for the past 22 years.
Born in Derby, Connecticut, he graduated Fairfield Preparatory School and received his business degree with Fairfield University in 1960.

Henry was predeceased by his brother Richard. He is survived by his loving wife Eileen of 55 years, his caring and compassionate son Joseph, a loving brother Kenneth of Connecticut and a sister Cathleen Denes of Connecticut. The family only asks that you remember the happy memories you shared with him and to think of him in your prayers.
Rest well Hank,
you deserve it.
