Edward Robert Muzzulin

Edward Robert Muzzulin, 77, formerly of Wethersfield and Rocky Hill CT, and Hertford NC, passed away at his home in Aurora, CO on Monday January 31, 2022. Ed always kept himself busy even from a young age where he attained Eagle Scout before graduation from Wethersfield HS. He then attended Indiana Institute of Technology where he played soccer before completing his Mechanical Engineering education at Charter Oak College. Ed served in the Air Force then went to work at the engineering firm of Donovan, Hammock and Erlandson. He retired from the Hartford Insurance Group as a Senior Property Manager where he was known as “Energy Ed” for his work to improve the energy efficiency of all of The Hartford properties. In his spare time he volunteered for the Rocky Hill Ambulance and ASHRAE, serving terms as President for both. He was also on the St Elizabeth Seton Church building committee, and Chairman of the Permanent Building Committee in Rocky Hill where he proudly worked on the Fire-Ambulance Complex, Cora J. Belden Library and the new Rocky Hill High School. Ed was also known as KA1EXK for many years in the ham radio community until his call sign was later changed to W4MUZ. Ed's passion for fast cars began as a young man with his Austin Healey Sprite convertible and later his 1985 1/2 Porsche 944, 1997 Boxster and 2014 Panamera. He enjoyed taking the Boxster to Limerock Racetrack for autocross with the CT Valley PCA where he also volunteered as photo editor for the Challenge magazine.

Ed and his wife JoAnne traveled the US in the Boxster and achieved their goal of membership to the “All 50 States Club.” They retired to Hertford NC where he served as a Perquimans County Commissioner from 2010-2019 and he also served as Commodore of the Osprey Yacht Club. We also cannot forget his love for the game of golf.

He leaves his wife of 30 years JoAnne Muzzulin of Aurora CO, his daughters Annmarie Shine of Elizabeth City NC, Mary Beth Muzzulin of North Haven CT and Karen Ann Muzzulin of Austin TX, the mother of his children, Constance Bruce. Grandchildren Timothy, Jonathan and Nicole Shine of Elizabeth City and Hertford NC, a brother John R. Muzzulin, sisters Patricia Ramondetta, Pamela Baldini, Jane Holleran and many nieces and nephews, step children Andrew Murano and wife Maureen, and Amy Croteau and grandchildren Shellby Warner, and David, Mark and Hannah Murano.
