John Christopher Gould

William W. Backus Hospital.

John was born May 8, 1965 in New London, CT, the son of Robert Gould and the late Francine

(Sirugo) Gould.

John was a graduate of Lyman High School and had previously worked as a machinist at Pratt

and Whitney. Most recently, he worked as the Sales Manager at Treat’s Pools and Spas until his

illness forced him to take a step back from working. John was a lifetime member of the East

Great Plain Volunteer Fire Department, previously serving as the Assistant Chief. He was also a

member of the Bozrah Moose Lodge. He was an avid Dallas Cowboys and NASCAR fan, and

loved to watch races at the Waterford Speed Bowl and Thompson Motor Speedway. He loved

to hunt and fish with his dog Jack.

John is survived by his father Robert Gould; his children Justin Gould and his fiancé Tina Francis,

and their daughter Mia; Katherine Gould and her son Javier; and Allison Hinckley and her

husband Nicholas; by his siblings Glenn Gould, Robert Fusco, Richard Fusco, Angela Moore, and

James Stavrinos. He was loved by many, and will be remembered by his friends as a man with an

infectious smile and quick wit.

In addition to his mother Francine, John was predeceased by his sister Diane Fusco.
