Richard W. Rozman Obituary. Published in the Hartford Courant on Jul 2, 2021, page B5. Richard "Dick, Pappy" W. Rozman of Windsor, beloved
husband of Christine (Brodeur) Rozman, passed away Tuesday, June 29, 2021.
Born in Windsor, 11th of 12 children of the late William and Stefania
(Mielniki) Rozman. As a boy he was an active free spirit who excelled in
sports which was his joy. He was raised in Windsor until his senior year of
high school when he moved to Tallahassee, FL where he graduated from Leon
High School and then started Florida State University where he played
football and belonged to Alpha Tau Omega. He was drafted into the US Army
during college and served in the Korean War. After his discharge he
returned to Florida State where he earned his BA Degree. Dick returned to
Windsor after college where he met his wife of 54 years, Christine and they
have lived here until his death. Sports were his passion and during high
school and college he played baseball and football. After school, he
enjoyed golf, running, and skiing. He was an avid gardener and took great
pride in his yard and flower gardens which he meticulously maintained. He
wanted to be remembered as a gardener. One of his greatest pleasurers was
skiing with his family and friends at Berkshire East until he was 86. Most
of all he was a family man and spending time with his grandchildren was
very important to him. He started the RW Maintenance Company in 1961 which
he operated until his retirement. He was a member of the Windsor Garden
Club and was Past President of the Newington Ski Club. Beside his wife
Christine, he leaves his daughter Marla Rycerz and her husband Andrew of
Windsor; his adored grandchildren Jaclyn and Jason Rycerz; a brother Walter
Rozman of Vernon; a sister Helen Cheverier of Windsor; and many nieces and
nephews. Besides his parents he was predeceased by five brothers Robert,
George, Carl, Henry, and Earl Rozman and four sisters, Marian Chorazy,
Wendy Smiley, Lucille Hood, and Elizabeth Jansen. |
