Harry Krofssik Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Feb. 28 to Mar. 2, 2023.
Harry Louis Krofssik, 83, passed away peacefully on February 24, 2023. Harry was born on July 28, 1939 in Bridgeport, Connecticut to Samuel and Esther (Alterio) Krofssik. Raised in a loving home, he was the youngest of four children and the only son.

In 1957, Harry joined the US Military and served as an airman basic for two years and was stationed at Lackland AFB, in San Antonio Texas. After leaving the military, he joined the local 1040 Teamsters as a truck driver. Following in his sister's footsteps, he bought a home in Monroe, CT and moved his family there in 1968 and raised his three sons, Mark, David and Daniel. He happily resided in Monroe for 55 years. The house on Twin Brook Terrace was home to many. With three active boys and multiple beloved dogs, Harry found time to cook big Italian meals for the family; his favorite dishes included lasagna and pasta fagioli. He was an avid Giants and Nascar fan, and he jokingly left his oldest son Mark his favorite Joey Logano cap and instructed him to always wear it when watching Nascar.

Harry is survived by his three children; Mark Krofssik and his wife Renee, of Monroe, CT. David Krofssik, his wife Cathy and David's children Justin and Molly Krofssik, as well as his great-grandson Axel Provenzano. Daniel Krofssik and his two children Kelli and Jake. He also leaves behind numerous nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his parents and three sisters, Norma Prentice, Eleanor Cassidy, and Joan Savo.

Funeral services will be a private family affair.

I miss Harry so much there is no one like him!!
He gave so much love and soup to everyone that came to his place.
He really enjoyed feeding everyone, that's how he showed his love. His children Mark, Danny, and David were all his life. I'm sad for them, but they were lucky to have the best father!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Many fond memories with the grandchildren and Krofssik brothers at Harry's and Dan home in Monroe. I still put sugar in my sauce based on his tip. I still plant Cosmos every year. And whenever I see potted tomatoes and basil I think of him. A silver fox in a great way, I remember a welcoming home filled with much laughter and love. RIP Harry.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to participate in his care. His visits to the CHF clinic were always delightful, and I'm saddened that they have ended-my sincere condolence to his family.

My uncle was like a big brother to me. He introduced me to the Theater when I was fifteen and spent endless hours discussing with me the multitude of books he had read and passed on to me. He provided me and my brothers a lifetime of wonderful memories. My wife, Cherylann, my brothers Andy, Larry, Dean and I will miss him greatly. Our condolences to our cousins and their families.
