William Trycinski Obituary
William Paul Trycinski, 85, of Haines City, Florida passed away on May 31, 2018 in Winter Haven, Florida. Bill was born in Hartford, CT on March 2,1933. He lived most of his early life on the farm of the Wolinski family in New Milford and considered them his adopted family. He graduated from New Milford High School and entered the Navy during the Korean conflict. Serving stateside, he trained as a meteorologist. He graduated from Danbury State Teachers College and later earned a graduate degree from Western Connecticut State University. He began his teaching career at John Pettibone School. He followed his dream of travel and left for Alaska where he worked on the pipeline and then taught school for the US Government. His government teaching jobs took him to Colorado, Italy, Cuba, the Azores and finally to Panama. His travel adventures included all of Europe, an African safari, Machu Picchu, hiking the Andes, and the Galapagos Islands. His fishing trips were all over the world as well. He finally retired after 36 years to Florida.
Bill will be sadly missed by his nephews, Bob and his wife Cindy, Paul, Michael, Peter and his wife Julie, Kostes. He is also survived by several other nieces and nephews. He will also be missed by his many friends and neighbors in Haines City.
There will be a graveside service at a later date in New Milford. Memories may be sent to [email protected] or online at this paper.

Had Mr. Trycinski as a science teacher at Pettibone School in New Milford, CT (always did and still address any of my teachers as Mrs, Ms, and Mr. - it's just the way we were brought up...). He was extremely bright and dedicated. A very fair person. Thank you sir for your time and patience with us during a time of our life when we were so impressionable, teachers were allowed to "teach", and students behaved, or else!
Rest in Peace

Bill was a teacher totally dedicated to his students. I was his principal in The Azores at Lajes Field and am saddened at the passing of a great professional.

I taught with Bill in the Azores. We shared our Polish heritage & growing up in New England. He gave me a special Polish paper cutting. I have it framed on a wall & always think of him as I pass by it. He was a very special person.

Lighting this candle is in such fond memory of Bill. We spent many hours of great fun and conversation when we worked together in the Azores. Phil & I always smile when we think of Bill. Good memories along with our deepest sympathy.
