Richard J. Ciecierski, 78, formerly of Wallingford, CT passed away peacefully on Monday, September 12th, 2022 at Yale-New Haven Hospital. Richard was born in New Haven on September 10, 1944 and was the son of the late Joseph and Hannah Mangan Ciecierski. He served his country faithfully in the Army National Guard and had worked as a Design Draftsman for the Lee Company for 40 years until his retirement. Richard served as a Constable in the Town of Chester, and being a sports enthusiast, he was a New York Giants and Yankees fan. Along with sports, he loved cars, taking drives to the CT shoreline, baseball cards, and telling stories from his youth. He was the father of Dr. Christine Ciecierski Berger of Mission, TX and Sarah Ann Ciecierski of Clinton, CT. Richard was the brother of Ellen Wirtalla (Ralph), Joanne Gates (Kip) and David Ciecierski (Holly).
Family and friends are invited to go directly to St. Mary’s Cemetery, Whitney Avenue, Hamden on Monday morning, Sept. 19th at 11:00 to attend a graveside funeral service.
My sincere condolence to Richards family. Unfortunately, I had not seen him since we worked together at Pratt & Whitney. I was honored to have been asked to be an usher in Richie’s wedding.
We are sorry to hear of Richard’s passing
We had good memories at the Gates’s house in Cheshire with Jo Ann and Kip. We will keep Richard and his in our prayers
