Edward Roczniak, Jr. Obituary
Edward “Ed” Joseph Roczniak, Jr., 67, of Windham, CT, beloved husband of the late Janice B. Petit, died at home on May 27, 2024.  He was born on December 25, 1957, in Middletown CT. Joanne (Sibley) and Edward Roczniak, Sr.

Growing up in Moodus, CT, Ed graduated from Nathan Hale-Ray H.S. in 1975. On October 26, 1997, he married Janice “Jan” Petit.  Ed worked as a VTL (Vertical Turning Lathe) operator machinist at United Technologies, Pratt & Whitney Aircraft from 1979 to 1988. He studied at CT State Community College-Middlesex in Middletown. Starting in September 2003, he worked as a Senior Electrical Designer for General Dynamics, Electric Boat in Groton.

Ed and Jan lived at Dark Star Farm in Moodus for many years before moving to Windham. Together they had a real connection with dogs. They owned award-winning, world-class Doberman Pinschers. Each one was a part of their family. Recently, they worked diligently to support one of the rarest dog breeds, the Chinook.  In fact, their dog, Caoimhe, is the top winning Chinook in the history of the breed.

Ed had a deep love for Jan, and their dogs. A devoted husband and friend, Ed was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by friends and family.

Ed was predeceased by his wife. He is survived by his sister, Mandy Roczniak of Marlborough, and his brothers, Daniel Roczniak, David Roczniak of East Haddam, and his brother-in-law, John and Diane Petit of Orlando, FL.

A funeral service will be held at the convenience of the family, and a celebration of his life will be scheduled. Memorial contributions may be made to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, 450 Brookline Avenue, Boston, MA 02215.
