John Hronis Obituary
John was born in Athens, Greece on March 30, 1950. He came to America when he was six years old.
John was often seen working in the family business, Waterford Pizza Palace, and is a lifetime member of St. Sophia Hellenic Orthodox Church. John loved his Greek Heritage, was well read in Greek Mythology and enjoyed reading all the classics and was often heard quoting from one of them. He valued knowledge. He will be remembered for his kind and generous spirit and will be sadly missed by his family and friends.
John is survived by his mother, Ellie Hronis; two daughters, Ellie Hronis and Katherine Hronis both of Warwick, R.I.; and a sister, Constandina Hronis and her son, Steven Hronis of New London, and his special friend, Patricia.
He was predeceased by a brother, James Hronis.
A visiting hour will be held from 10 to 11 a.m. with a funeral service at 11 a.m. on Tuesday at St. Sophia Hellenic Orthodox Church. Private interment will be in Cedar Grove Cemetery. Byles Memorial Home, New London is in charge of arrangements.

To the Hronis family:
My condolences for your loss. I haven't seen John in over 20 years but my remembrance of him is someone who was always a giving person. We met at NLHS in the 60s and he was truly a good person. May he rest in good peace.
