Retired Master Chief Petty Officer Enio “Pooch” Pucci was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and mentor to many throughout his life. The world darkened a little when he passed on June 16th, 2021 at age 77.
Enio is survived by his beloved wife of over 50 years Lorraine as well as his children. Daughter Kathleen and son in law Jeffrey Vrlik of Seymour, David Pucci of Oak Harbor, WA and Michael Pucci and daughter in law Catherine Griffin of Meriden. In addition, he is survived by his grandchildren: Kellen, Aidan and Kyla Vrlik, and Mari Pucci; his sister Tina Velleco of Seymour; sister Dolores Moore of San Jose, CA and half-brother Alton Goad of Buckeye, AZ as well as numerous beloved nieces and nephews.
He is predeceased by his sisters Genevieve, Shirley, Christina and Patricia, and best friend Jimmy Musto as well as his adored grandson Alexander Pucci, with whom, we know, he is throwing a ball and teaching the finer points of a flea flicker.
A graveside funeral service will be held on Saturday, June 26th at 10:00 am for friends and family at Mount Saint Peter Cemetery in Derby, Connecticut. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations be made in his memory to the First Responder organization of your choice.
