Fezio, James M.

James M. Fezio, 64, of Newington, passed away after a long illness on Tuesday, Nov. 2, 2021, with his beloved wife Kristine at his side. Jim was employed by Hanger Orthotics at the Connecticut Children's Medical Center since 1984. Where ever he was, he brought joy. The simplest pleasures, such as drinking coffee, eating

copious amounts of food, or traveling even to the nearest and least interesting

place, would bring the greatest smile to Jim. He was often found with his wife, Kristine, and his daughter, Angela, cracking jokes or playing goofy pranks on his patients and co-workers. Jim had a heart of gold and would give anything to anyone to make someone happy. He was a devoted partner to his wife of 36 years, Kristine (Karavas) Fezio; a loving hero to his daughter Angela Fezio of Newton, MA; and brother to Robert and Louis Fezio, both of Washington. He was an incredible mentor to many and a friend to all, a noogie-giver to his patients, and will be dearly missed, especially by his darling Havanese, Zena. Relatives and friends are invited to call on Sunday, Nov. 14, 2021 from 12 noon to 3 p.m. at Duksa Family Funeral Homes at Newington Memorial, 20 Bonair Ave., Newington. A Celebration of

his Life will follow at 3 p.m. at Newington Memorial. He will be laid to rest privately in Evergreen Cemetery, Stoughton, MA.
