Gilbert Mandy Obituary
Gilbert "Gil" Mandy Jr., 93, of North Haven, Connecticut, passed away on November 10, 2023. Born January 22, 1930, in Karscha, Hungary, to Elizabeth and Gilbert Mandy, Sr., Gil immigrated to New York in 1940 before settling in Wallingford, Connecticut. While attending Lyman Hall High School, he fell in love with Elaine Castiglione. The couple married in fall 1952 and soon thereafter moved to North Haven, Connecticut, where they raised 5 children. Gil and Elaine also spent many memorable winters at their residence in Florida. He was an avid fisherman, skilled horseshoe player, bowler, and golfer, and passionate Red Sox fan. He took great pride in his service as a Sergeant in the U.S. Army, and also served as an administrative specialist and supply technician for the Army National Guard in Hartford, Connecticut, achieving the rank of Warrant Officer. Gil's long military career was a source of pride to his family.
Loving husband of Elaine for 71 years. Beloved father of Bruce and Kathy Mandy, Lynda and Robert Cummiskey, Liz and Lee Ramsauer, Ellen and Dennis Perrin, and Karen and Peter Doyle. Cherished grandfather of Matthew, Jeffrey, Anna, Kurt, Drew, Scott, Courtney, Ashley, Bobby, David, Mandy, Aryn, and Caitlin. Proud great-grandfather of 10. Gil was a devoted family man whose legacy lives on through his loved ones. He will be dearly missed by those who knew him.

I served with CWO and/or CSM Mandy on several occasions in the 1/102 Infantry Battalion. He came from a group of great people [John Marini, Gene Lucente, etal] who spent their careers helping and mentoring others. All that was required was showing them the respect they disserved.
My personal experience was enhanced by Gil's patience and the direction he gave to me over the years. He will be missed and I offer my sympathy to his family.

So sorry to learn about Gil´s passing. He was in the service with my father, and they remain friends up until my father´s passing. Jill tried to teach my father, some words and his native Hungarian, my dad attempted to teach Gil some words in our native Italian. That was very funny, listening to them . Gil was always there for us when we were growing up & was a very friendly man. He was "the life of the party" at my daughter´s wedding & he had the entire table in stitches all night long. Rest in peace Gil.
