Gary Joseph Orlowski

Gary Joseph Orlowski, son of the late John and Lena Orlowski and brother of the late John Paul Orlowski, was born October 21, 1950 in Derby Connecticut, and died at YNHH on July 27, 2025 with family present offering comfort. He attended Ansonia High School and John F. Kennedy College (Nebraska), amassing notable statistics for his baseball pitching talent. He retired after 34 years of service at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in West Haven.

Favorite activities traditionally centered around family, but a good round of golf, playing guitar and most especially performing magic tricks and telling jokes to his grandsons brought smiles to his face.

Lesley, his spouse of 47 years, his daughter Lauren (Blake Tietze) and grandsons Tyson and Tanner, as well as his sister-in-law Leigh, brother-in-law Hajo, niece Arielle, nephews Niko and Lucas (Lauren), grandnephew Levi, grandniece Lily and cousins will continue to reminisce about happy times together.

A private family funeral is planned for the near future. Heartfelt thanks are sent to the caring staff of YNHH where he received excellent care. Donations in his memory may be made to the Guilford Free Library.
