John Robert Cordock, 58, passed away unexpectedly on April 12, 2022 at his home in Old Lyme. He was the devoted husband of Reyly Cordock and an exceptional father to his son, Sean Patrick. John was born on January 20,1964 at Lawrence and Memorial Hospital in New London to the late James Howard and Patricia Noonan Cordock.

He grew up in Groton, CT before settling and establishing a beautiful home in Old Lyme. He graduated from Fitch High School in 1982. John was employed by the Dominion Nuclear Power Plant in Waterford. He was a parishioner of Christ the King Church in Old Lyme.

He loved spending his time with his family and friends, fishing, gardening, travelling, taking on different projects, but especially cooking for his many friends on special occasions. John will be most remembered for his friendly, kindhearted nature, a nurturing soul, his selflessness and willingness to give his time and talents to others. John touched the lives of everyone he came into contact with- family, friends and work colleagues. He cared deeply about everyone he knew and always wanted to bring people together. While we are filled with unimaginable grief and sadness, we are all fortunate by the time we had with him. John will be missed deeply but his life and legacy will live on forever.
