James E. Mikucki, longtime resident of New Milford, passed away peacefully on April 9, 2025, at the age of 79.
Jimmy met the love of his life, Carolyn, in the tenth grade at New Milford High School. They shared nearly 55 wonderful years of marriage. A proud veteran he served in the Army during the Vietnam War. Jimmy was a true handyman, and he could fix just about anything. He spent his career at AT&T and Lucent before retiring. He had a passion for classic cars, a deep love for animals, and found peace watching the koi fish in his pond or sailing around the Poconos with Carolyn. He will be remembered for his kind heart, steady hands, and soft-spoken nature.
Predeceased by his parents Helen and Edward Mikucki and his cherished German Shepherd Star and feline friend, Tramp.
Jimmy is survived by his beloved wife Carolyn M. Mikucki. He will be missed by his close friends and neighbors.
