Thomas John Wegrzyn

Thomas John Wegrzyn, age 79, of Oxford, CT passed away January 18, 2026. He was born in Bridgeport, CT to the late Thomas and Muriel Wegrzyn. Mr. Wegrzyn graduated from Columbia University, College of Physicians and Surgeons. He was the Director of Health at the Northeast District Department of Health and later Chesprocott Health District where he spent 20 years of his career. His hobbies included skiing, tennis, fishing, football, singing, playing the trumpet, and most recently painting.  He was intellectually curious and absorbed the adventure of things.  He was a gentle, caring and kind soul that loved animals and saving frogs and turtles from the road.  We will miss his long winded stories and playful creativity. 

He is survived by his beloved wife Elizabeth (Figerle) Wegrzyn, his daughter Deborah Wegrzyn, his son Christopher Wegrzyn and his wife Tiziana Covacci, his granddaughter Giovanna Wegrzyn, his sister Muriel Young and several nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his daughter Jennifer Wegrzyn and his sisters Joanne Sobota and Connie Taylor.  

The family wishes to thank Dr. Joseph Kim, Dr. Mendel, and all the staff at Yale including nurses Donna and Destiny for their care and compassion.   We also appreciate the support and accommodations provided by River Glen Health Care Center staff members.
