John Cusick Obituary

John Thomas Cusick
John Thomas Cusick, 91, of Northford, CT, formerly of West Haven, CT, passed away peacefully at CT Hospice, in Branford, CT, on January 19, 2026. John was born on December 4, 1934, in New Haven, CT, to James and Anna Stawicki Cusick.
He was the beloved husband of Pauline Cusick for 61 years. He is also survived by his daughter, Christine Hogan; son, Paul Cusick; granddaughters, Stephanie and Sydney Hogan; sister, Marion Franco. He was predeceased by his brother, Francis Cusick. He will also be missed by his in-laws, several nieces and nephews, as well as extended family.
After high school, John served in the U.S. Army for 4 years. He then worked at the United Illuminating Co. for a number of years, and earlier as an upholsterer for Yale Manufacturing. He enjoyed spending days working in the yard, riding his lawnmower and taking care of his tomato plants, but most of all, he enjoyed the endless sporting events for his granddaughters.
A Funeral Mass will take place at St. Augustine Church in North Branford, CT, on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. The burial will be held privately, at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider sending a donation to CT Hospice, 100 Double Beach Rd., Branford, CT 06405, or a Veterans organization of your choice.

Just wanted to take a moment to say what a good friend and coworker John was. We started together at UI. Attended training classes and came up the job classes together in operations. Bpt. Harbor, English station, and New Haven Harbor. I also lived in West Haven so we would sometimes commute to Bpt. The lord took another good man home. He will be missed

To the family of John Cusick:
I worked with John during our days at English Station and New Haven Harbor Station while owned by United Illuminating and PSEG. John was one the nicest guys and was always ready and willing to help in any way he could. He worked in both Operations and Maintenance while I new him. He was a pleasure to work with and I found him to be helpful in completing the duties of my job as his Supervisor.
I share your loss.
