Terrence B. Lynch Sr., 87, of Durham, Connecticut passed away on Friday, March 10, 2023 at Chestelm Health & Rehabilitation Center in East Haddam. He was born in Brattleboro, VT on December 19, 1935. He moved as a young boy with his family to Cromwell and then settled in Portland. He married Sandra M. Wrzos in Middletown, CT in 1957, eventually moving to Durham where they have lived for the past 65 years. Terry and Sandy raised four children Terrence B. Lynch Jr. of Durham, Scott (Sandra) Lynch of Chester, Kelly (Norman) Pietruska of Durham. He was predeceased by his son Mark (Rachel) Lynch in 2008. He leaves seven grandchildren: Meghan (Eoin) MacGabhann, Colleen (Stephen) Giangrande, Kyle (Sarah) Pietruska, Kelsey (fiancé Aidan) Pietruska, Scott Lynch Jr., Mark Lynch Jr., and Brandon Lynch; two great-granddaughters (Roisin and Eilish) and looked forward to the birth of his great-grandson (Tripp) in August. Terry retired from the State of Connecticut DOT and then from Portland Napa. He loved hunting in CT and Maine, especially with his grandchildren. Terry enjoyed old cars, riding motorcycles and treasured his ‘55 Chevy truck and ‘78 Cadillac. He loved to be at home with his wife and family, spending many hours outdoors feeding the birds, gardening and keeping his yard in pristine condition. We want to thank all of the dedicated staff at Chestelm for the wonderful, loving care they gave to Terry. He was very happy there and always brightened their days with his endless jokes.
