John Michael Grocki

Years ago I was ice fishing with John and Billy. I slipped on the ice. Hit my head and was unconscious. Billy ran for help John kept me warm . Eventually, it was determined that I needed to be Life Starred to Hartford Hospital . John and Billy had to shovel a landing spot for the helicopter. I don´t think I would be here without the intervention of John and Billy. Both shook it off as it was nothing great just the right thing to do. A true Grocki response Best to Jean and the Grocki family.

I lifeguarded for John at the Field Club and years later my son and daughter did, too. He was such a presence in our lives every summer. He became a family friend and will be sorely missed. Our Condolences to Jean and the family.

I enjoyed our conversations at AHC where he came to visit his parents for many years. He was very funny and a perfect gentleman.

I wish to extent my sincerest sympathies to the entire Grocki family. I had the privilege of meeting John through ours years with the CTANG and always had very much respect for him. May the Lord grant the Grocki family the peace and comfort that transcends all understanding.

Mr. Grocki was our PE teacher for the class of 1968 at FHS. Not a mean bone in his body. Always smiling and encouraging us to do better. You will be missed.
THANK YOU!

Very sad news. Mr Grocki was someone who you´d expect to be imparting his knowledge and wisdom to us forever. My condolences to the whole family. Mr G was quite a guy ... he will leave a big space, but many, many good memories as well.

What a wonderful man he was. He coached both of our daughters in Farmington schools and was very generous with his time and talents. Rest In Peace John He left a great legacy in his students.

To The Family & Friends Of Mr, Grocki, It Was Always A Pleasure To Have Our Seasonal Calls & Talk With Such A Hard Working Dedicated Man. May He Rest In Peace & May Peace Be With You All.Sincerely, State Awning Co.
