Hijo

Cada día qué pasa recuerdo más tu voz también tu mirada pura y cristalina, pero tan llena de amor. Siempre te llevo en mi mente y por siempre en mi corazón.

Te fuiste muy pronto hijo y aunque se que con Dios estas, yo esperaré el momento de tus mejillas volver a besar. Recordaré tu sonrisa como esa luz que iluminaba mis días; porque hay seres que pasan por nuestras vidas y dejan luz, una luz que resplandece en nuestras almas para toda la eternidad.

Tu partida mi niño lindo cambia mi vida pero el tiempo compartido juntos diseño todo mi destino. Eres el más grande de mis amores y el más lindo de todos mis recuerdos, te llevo tatuado en mi alma porque te amo bonito y para siempre.
Por siempre tu madrecita.

Hermano

Cuando pienso en mi hermano le veo feliz, sonriendo a carcajadas, siempre tan lleno de vida con esa mirada que quería comerse el mundo, crecimos juntos para todos lados, siempre el y yo hermanitos, siempre peleando por todo, porque nos encantaba llevarnos la contraria, pero nos amábamos tanto, que siempre estábamos ahí el uno para el otro. Me brindaste momentos maravillosos y un amor incondicional.
Recuerdo los días enteros en que solo queríamos escuchar rap para aprendernos las canciones de Los Aldeanos, las caminatas por el pueblo, las travesuras, recuerdo verte dibujar horas enteras y admirar tus cuadernos de dibujos.

Me quedo con los tantos recuerdos juntos, me enseñaste tanto y solo puedo agradecer por haberte tenido como hermano, eres maravilloso y lo serás siempre en mi corazón.
Te amo tanto.
Tu hermanita Lui, Aznar, así era como me decías.

Parcerito gracias por estar incondicionalmente conmigo, por enseñarme tanto desde niño ya que como eres mi hermano mayor me enseñaste casi todo, montar en bicicleta, jugar fútbol, me mostraste la pasión por el fútbol compartiendo conmigo tu enorme gusto por el Nacional y el Real Madrid.

El tiempo que pasamos jugando videojuegos juntos, escuchando música, no se me olvida. Gracias por ser mi inspiración porque cuando era niño siempre quise ser como tú, talentoso y bueno, porque hubo un tiempo donde eras mi súper héroe y modelo a seguir, ya que a mis ojos de niño me parecías impresionante porque prácticamente todo lo que yo quería hacer tu eras capaz de hacerlo. Compartimos los mismos gustos siendo las ovejas negras de la familia que cada 10 min estábamos agarrados peleando por cosas insignificantes y al momentico estábamos abrazados, como si nunca hubiera pasado nada.

Te voy a extrañar mucho no solo yo, también Daniel, porque aunque tú y yo fuéramos adultos cuando estábamos con el niño volvíamos a nuestra niñez divirtiéndonos, riéndonos, jugando como superhéroes, usando poderes y sin preocuparnos por nada más que estar ahí compartiendo envueltos entre risas. Ya que tu y el niño a pesar de tantas rabias que me dan siempre han sacado lo mejor de mi y me han hecho la persona más feliz, ya que siempre me han abrazado y me han mirado como si fuera lo más especial que tienen en el mundo.
Siempre te encanto ponernos sobrenombres nunca voy a olvidar el mío,
Te amo por siempre tu hermano Juan Ale, el N, así era como me decías.

Nos sobran palabras para hablar de la gran persona que fuiste, estás en cada uno de los corazones de quienes te amamos y compartimos contigo, nos diste tanto como hijo, hermano, novio, tío, amigo, nieto… porque fuiste incondicional y recordar tu sonrisa ilumina nuestros caminos.

Family and Friends will be received at the TRINITY FUNERAL HOME, 453 Shippan Ave Stamford, CT 06902 on Saturday, February 4th from 2-5 pm.

Vuela alto, sé feliz y libre.

Adelaide Louise Davey
June 25, 1926 – April 28, 2021

Adelaide Louise Schmitt was born and raised on the south shore of Long Island, NY, along with her sister Phyllis, by her parents Joseph and Anna Estelle. She was an active, adventurous and independent child and teenager who loved the ocean where she was able to swim and sail. She gravitated to sports with the boys over more traditionally accepted activities for girls.

Addie attended nursing school at Adelphi College, and shortly after graduation worked as a nurse on the boardwalk of Jones Beach on Long Island. There she met Andrew Davey (a quartermaster on the boardwalk) by removing a splinter from his big toe. That splinter led to dating, and eventually marriage; and Andy and Addie soon were raising a family of six children.

The Daveys made their homes in Springfield, PA; Dover, MA; Weston, CT, and Stratford, CT. During most of those years of childrearing, she not only raised her six children, but developed a range of practical and artistic talents which included wallpapering, carpentry, cooking, baking, sewing and knitting. Her creativity and drive were apparent in everything she did. She was always curious and interested in learning, and rarely shied away from any obstacle. Her biggest passion was golf. She loved being on the links, loved those golf outings away with her buddies.

After her husband died in 2015, Addie moved to her final home at Spring Meadows in Trumbull, CT, where she quickly became an engaged and influential member of the community. In a short time, she was elected President of the residents’ association, and she routinely crushed at Wii bowling. She was very social; yet at the same time she could enjoy her quiet time and was an active reader. Her innate sense of style was always on full display, and her infectious laugh made her a sought-out companion. And it was there, at the age of 90, that she met the man she referred to as the second love of her life, Dave, who predeceased her by two years.

Addie always sought out new experiences, more social interactions, more challenges. She always wanted more life, with a capital L. Her joy in living and capacity for adaptation were a winning combination, and drew people to her wherever she went. When she died, she left behind six loving children, sixteen grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Adelaide was greatly loved and will be deeply missed.

Adelaide's family has entrusted Trinity Cremation Services of CT to handle the arrangements.

He was born in NYC, NY on June 6, 1925 to the late Pietro and Giuditta (Barlaro) Curti. Jim was named Zairo Curti at birth, but his family changed their name after immigrating to the United States.

Jim was born in NYC, but was raised in Northern Italy until the age of 10. He returned to the United States and lived with his family in Miami Florida. At the age of 17 he joined the US Coast Guard, attended radio school and became a Radioman in the US Navy, serving in the Pacific Theater during WWII. When the war ended, he pursued his artistic side and began a career in dance and choreography, dancing with the San Francisco Ballet Company and studying choreography under Anna Sokolow in New York City.

He attended the University of Miami, where he studied electrical engineering, eventually becoming a Training Specialist in the fields of computers and robotics.

He married his blue-eyed Irish beauty, Margaret Sophia Donnelly in 1960, and they raised their family in Stamford, Connecticut.

Jim led a very unique life. He once lived in a Hindu Ashram, where he met his spiritual mentor John Moffitt who was instrumental in Jim's spiritual self development.

November 11, 1935 - December 18, 2020

Ginny Dohrmann passed away December 18, 2020 peacefully at home in Fairfield, CT after a prolonged illness at the age of 85. We were very blessed that she had a full-time, live-in care giver, Sylvia Tokarski, who took very good care of her and made her life as pleasant as possible for the past 3 years.

She was born in Orange, New Jersey to Jesse and Janet McCullen and grew up in Maplewood, New Jersey with her twin sister, Joan and her half-brothers William and Donald McCullen.

She attended Hood College in Frederick, MD and married her college sweetheart Walter J. Dohrmann on September 7, 1956 before leaving for Heidelberg, Germany where he served in the U.S. Army and they started their family.

Once back from Germany they lived in Fairfield and Trumbull, CT and added 2 more children to their family before heading back to Germany for two more years and then settled back in Trumbull for many years, moved to Westport, Chicago-area and settled back in Shelton, CT where they lived for many years.

Ginny had a very fierce and competitive spirit which showcased her at her best in her teenage sport team years, cheerleading, horseback riding (in college), tennis, bowling and ultimately led to her mastering the game of golf. She loved the game and she practiced driving, putting, sand traps, etc. diligently until she was ready to play 9 holes. She then graduated to playing 18 holes and had a very envious handicap by the time she started playing at Brooklawn Country Club.

Her family will remember her most for her perseverance and intentional spirit during difficult health issues that spanned decades, her love of us, her clever and witty way of dealing with issues as well as her eagerness to learn about all the new technology that was becoming available ... there wasn’t anything she couldn’t teach herself about new innovations and master quickly.

Ginny is survived by family that loved her and will miss her interactive wit and charm. Her children, Kristine Podber and her husband Barry, Patty Cookson, Gary Dohrmann & his wife Donna and Jeannine Salveson and her husband Tom.
