Wayne Caverly, 68, of East Hartford died August 3, 2019 at his residence in East Hartford. He was born April 4, 1951 in New Haven, CT, grew up in New Hampshire, and returned to Connecticut for his adult life. He retired from employment as an engineer at Pratt and Whitney in East Hartford after 38 years. A storyteller with an acute perspective and a warped sense of humor, he was naturally engaging. As a young man, Wayne enjoyed nature, people, and anything mechanical. Later in life he enjoyed spending time in Tennessee with his grandchildren, and time with his friends at the pub. When relaxing he was rarely seen without a crossword puzzle within reach.
The only son of a family of eight, he is preceded in death by three sisters, Joan Smith, Gladys Wallace, and Sandra (Sam) Spencer.
He is survived by 4 sisters, Joyce Higgins, Sharon Pesta and her husband Gene, Lynda Walden, and Marion Forbes, all of Connecticut, his former wife Donise Caverly of Cromwell, CT, 2 daughters, Ashley McHugh and her husband John of Crossville, TN, and Kimberly Caverly of Cromwell, CT, 2 grandchildren Cora and John McHugh of Crossville, TN; and a host of nieces, nephews, and family members.
