Jefferson James Abromaitis, loving father to Oscar, son to Peter and Marty, brother to Andi, Jen, and Mark, wonderful, crazy uncle to Jack, Samuel, and Finn, brother-in-law, though more like a blood-brother, to Peter, partner to Annett, nephew to Joe and Betsy of East Chop and friend to many, died June 27, 2014. He was 49.
Jeff was born October 8, 1964 and spent many summers growing up on the Vineyard. He had lived for 20 years in New Orleans after graduating from university. The last five years of his life he spent in Berlin, Germany, where he, Oscar, and Annett lived. He traveled extensively and brought back stories of fantastic places and adventures from all around the world. Once diagnosed with cancer, he insisted he would get well again so he could travel once more. He will be sorely missed and deeply loved by those around him.
Calling hours will be held on Saturday, July 12, from 3 to 7 pm at the Introvigne Funeral Home, Inc., 51 East Main St., Stafford Springs, Conn. A celebration of his life will take place on the Vineyard on a date in August not yet decided.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Jefferson Abromaitis Family Fund, Stafford Savings Bank, c/o Rose Roszczewski, P.O. Box 25, Stafford Springs, CT 06076.
