Michael Pappas Obituary
Michael served in the U.S. Army during World War II, and had worked as an electrician at the U. S. Submarine Base in Groton. He spent most of years working as a building official for the Town of Waterford. Mike was a member of St. Sophia Hellenic Orthodox Church in New London.
Michael is remembered by the legacy he created with his wife of over 70 years, Nita Pappas. Michael and Nita began their family in Groton in the early 1940s. They had four daughters. Throughout the years, the family grew. Although some may have moved away, somehow the majority of the family stayed close by and resided near Michael. He was the rock that held the family together; and he will be dearly missed.
Michael is survived by his four daughters, Cheryl Pappas of New London, Kathy Pappas of Niantic, Michelle Carbee of Oakdale and Debbie Siderewicz of Groton. He was a loving grandfather to six grandchildren: Andre Newsom, Erin McVickers, Dana Shaughnessy, Justin Carbee, Adam Johnson and Mike Johnson; and eight great-grandchildren: Myriah, Calin, Katie, Tyler, Cole, Miles, Mike and Jade.
A private graveside was held in Elm Grove Cemetery, Mystic. Please visit www.byles.com to share a condolence or memory with the family.
