John Usowski Obituary
John Anthony Usowski, age 87, passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 7, 2025. He was a man of quiet strength, deep faith, and steadfast service, and his absence leaves a gentle but undeniable space in the hearts of many.
Born on November 22, 1937, in Greenwich, Connecticut, John was the son of Anthony and Aniela "Nellie" Usowski, and brother to Helen and Ted. He grew up in Old Greenwich and later served his country with pride in the National Guard of New York.
John's life was marked by generosity and a quiet dedication to others. He volunteered with Midnight Run, T.A.G. (Transportation Association of Greenwich), and brought the Eucharist to those in hospitals and hospice. His actions, more than words, reflected his deep commitment to service.
He found joy in reading, tennis, skiing, running, and golf, and most of all in his devotion to his children. He often said, "See God in Everything," and tried to live those words with patience and kindness.
John is survived by his children: Mimi, Mary Beth, Frank, Michael, and Kevin. A private family burial will take place on September 23 at St. Mary's Cemetery, with a public memorial service to be announced.

"God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever". Psalm 23 .
These are words that John always carried close to his heart and soul and anyone who knew John would immediately feel his devote spiritual presence. I had the privilege of working with John for many years at St. Paul Church. John was devoted and faithful in his service to our parish as an Eucharistic Minister of Holy Communion, a Reader and Religious Education teacher. John´s willingness to help those in need provided courage when people needed it most. My deepest condolences to his family, God Bless.

For many years, I did the lector schedule at Saint Paul´s. I had the privilege of knowing John because of his dedication to our church. He also was a wonderful catechist. My children were given the gift of being instructed by him. No doubt in my mind John has gained his angel wings. My deepest condolences to his loved ones.
