Michael Hlasny Obituary
He was born July 11, 1961. He attended Hall High in West Hartford where he played in the jazz band. He graduated from Ellington High School, Elling-ton. He earned his electronics degree from New England Technical Institute. Mike was a jack of all trades (appliances, electrical, HVAC, and mechanical). Mike was a big-hearted, generous soul with a contagious laugh. He was a die-hard Patriots/Red Sox Fan. He had a love for animals, playing darts, and music, especially the saxophone and singing in his band.
Mike is survived by his mother, Joan Hollister; his sisters, Sharon Hollister and Patricia Tingley, all of Florida; and his brother, Mark (Laurie) of Vernon. He is also survived by his stepson, Brian Dorman; his nieces and nephews, Heidi (Steve), Sara (Cesare), Matthew (Melanie), Megan (Marshall), Jacqueline, and Russell Jr. He was predeceased by his father, Charles Hlasny; his stepfather, Charles Hollister; and nephew, Christopher McNally Jr.
A graveside service will be held Oct. 13, at 10 a.m. at Grove Hill Cemetery, Vernon, followed by a celebration of life at the Maple Grove Club, Vernon.
