Neil Myron Kucinkas, 89, passed away peacefully on November 24, 2022. He was the loving husband of Pat (Doris) for 65 years. He was born in Meriden on November 3, 1933, the son of Muriel and Joseph Kucinkas. He was a dear, good man who lived for his family and took pride in all their achievements. He served his country in the U.S. Air Force, stationed in England where he met his wife Pat. For 38 years he worked at Pratt & Whitney as an electrical engineer. During the course of his life, he volunteered in many areas, altar boy and senior warden at All Saints Church, secretary for his condo association, treasurer for Southington AARP, and taught computers at Calendar House to name a few. He enjoyed life and had love and laughter with friends he met along the way. Upon retirement he and Pat were able to fulfill their dreams of travel. So many great memories! His family would like to thank the aids and staff of The Village at Kensington who took such good care of him. He so enjoyed playing bingo with a glass of wine. Cheers Neil! You were loved!
