John Czelusniak Obituary

Norwich - John L. Czelusniak III, 56, of Norwich, died peacefully in his sleep Oct. 5, 2023.

John grew up in Holyoke, Mass., but spent his summers in Niantic. John was a graduate of Hudson Valley Community College, where he earned high honors, and was a veteran of the U.S. Army. He was an avid reader and relished sharing his thoughts and ideas that he gathered. John also enjoyed cooking and traveling. His true passion, however, was music and he became an accomplished self-taught guitarist.

He is survived by his mother Patricia Trigiani; stepfather Jack Trigiani, both of Niantic; sister Amanda Lewis of San Diego, Calif.; nephew Hunter Lewis of Warrensburg, Mo.; father John Czelusniak; and stepmother Trish Czelusniak, both of Niantic; and numerous cousins.

Calling hours will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 10, in Fulton-Theroux Funeral Home, 13 Lake Avenue, Niantic. Please visit www.fultontherouxniantic.com for tributes and service information.

I am deeply sorry for your loss, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
I have many great thoughts of little John: he loved the rock group KISS and we all went to see them in concert! I remember when his snake boa constrictor got loose in the house and we could not find it, Amanda and I were scared! Another memory is John loved watching Saturday Night Live TV show and he was always laughing about it!! Also, we used to always go rollerskating at USA in Chicopee, MA and had lots of fun!
