John Wozniak Obituary

John Wozniak
July 7, 2025
John Peter Wozniak, 85, passed away on July 7, 2025. He was predeceased by his wife of 56 years, Loretta Noeline. He is survived by her four children: Karen Llivicura of East Haven and her husband Mauricio, John Wozniak of Madison, Robert Wozniak of Chicago, IL and Kate Christofferson and her husband Harland Christofferson of Guilford. He was a proud grandfather to ten grandchildren: Claire, Madeline, Emily, Timothy, Rebecca, Elizabeth, Rachael, Kylie, Ryan, and Nolan.
Like both his parents, John worked as a pharmacist. He graduated from the University of Connecticut with a degree in pharmacy in 1962 and owned and operated Humphrey Pharmacy in New Haven for many years.
John loved the outdoors. He loved taking hunting trips in the fall to Vermont and Maine and fishing trips in the winter and spring to New Hampshire and New York. He was also an avid hiker and could often be seen on the trails of Sleeping Giant and Chatfield Hollow.

I am sorry for the family´s loss. John and his father started me on my path as a pharmacist and I will always be thankful for the opportunity they provided me. I started working at Humphrey Pharmacy when in high school. I continued working there during summers while in college and after graduating to obtain internship hours. I have always appreciated his mentorship and valued his advice during those years. My sincere condolences.

In the early 60´s I remember going with my mother to the original Humphrey Pharmacy and saw John working beside his mom and dad. Then years later when his parents retired and he was in the new location on the other side of Humphrey St. My sincere condolences to his entire family.
