John L. Pisciotta

December 18, 2019

John L. Pisciotta, 82, of Stafford Springs, CT, passed away on Wednesday, December 18, 2019, surrounded by his family. He was born in Stafford Springs, CT, son of the late Joseph and Dorothy (Garvais) Pisciotta. John served our country in the United States Army, and was the owner/operator of Westside Motors in Stafford Springs, CT. John had many passions, but his greatest passion and achievement was the family he created, loved and nurtured. John loved racing throughout the Northeast with his sons, Johnny and Dean, buying and selling antiques and spending weekends and summers in Islesboro, ME, where he enjoyed fishing, and spending time with his friends and family on their beloved back porch. In 1999, John retired and spent his days working on his land, gardening and maintaining his beloved property. Most of all, no matter what John was doing, his favorite moments were when he was surrounded by his family, who he was proud of beyond measure. John is survived by his loving wife of 62 years, Linda (Leach) Pisciotta; four children, John L. Pisciotta, Jr. and his wife Phyllis, Lisa Finch and her husband Scott, Dean Pisciotta and his wife Wendy, and Kate Faienza and her husband Enzo; nine grandchildren; several great grandchildren; three brothers, Richard Pisciotta and his wife Virginia, Wayne Pisciotta and his wife Jean, and Ronald Pisciotta and his wife Patricia; and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his sister, Carol Lavoie; and brother, Joseph Pisciotta. The family would like to give a special heartfelt thanks to the second floor nurses at Rockville Hospital, and Patty, Allison and Dan from Visiting Nurse and Health Services of Connecticut, for the exceptional, loving care they provided to John and his family. A memorial service will be held on Monday, December 23, 2019 at 11 A.M. at Introvigne Funeral Home, Inc., 51 East Main St., Stafford Springs, CT. Military Honors will conclude the service.
