Frank Pobutkiewicz

Frank Pobutkiewicz, 69, of East Hartford, beloved husband for 32 years of Cheryl (Pollard) Pobutkiewicz, passed away peacefully at home with his family by his side on Monday, June 13, 2022. Born in Hartford on January 15, 1953, he was the son of Beatrice (Wagner) Pobutkiewicz of South Windsor and the late Chester “Chet” Pobutkiewicz.

Frank graduated from South Windsor High School and received his associate degree from University of Phoenix. He worked as an inspector for Hamilton Standard for 40 years, retiring in 2017. Frank was a volunteer Fireman for the town of South Windsor for many years. He was an avid fan of the Boston Red Sox and Bruins, the Miami Dolphins and the New York Giants. He also enjoyed golfing and playing a good game of setback; but his greatest joy was spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren.

Frank will be forever missed by his wife Cheryl; his daughter, Katherine Grabowski and husband Bryan of Middletown; his stepson, Kenneth Cardini and wife Amanda of Enfield; his stepdaughter, Jennifer Januska and husband Steven of East Hartford and his four adored grandchildren, Nina, Kal-el, Alaina and Landon, as well as his princess Shih Tzu, Angel. He is also survived by his mother, Beatrice; two sisters, Diane Hulse and Carol Collins and husband Dean, all of South Windsor, as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends. He was predeceased by his sister, Deborah Pobutkiewicz. Special thanks to the wonderful staff of Beacon Hospice for the care and compassion shown to Frank and the whole family.
