Norwich -Dennis James Grillo, age 67, of Norwich, passed away on November 7, 2021 at William W. Backus Hospital after sudden illness. He was born on April 21, 1954 in Riverside, California to Samuel and Mary (Quarto) Grillo.
He is survived by his loving wife, Sharon Grillo, his daughter Tiffany Grillo, his son Travis Grillo and his wife Christina Huynh. He also leaves behind his beloved grandchildren, Sam and Isla Grillo, who adoringly called him “Peepa” and his brothers, Danny, Dean, Donald and their spouses.
Dennis was an avid fisherman, which he enjoyed almost as much as he enjoyed spending time with his family. Dennis and Sharon enjoyed spending summers Rhode Island at their beach house. He took great pride in his business, Grillo’s Batteries, which he owned and operated for over 35 years. He enjoyed being outdoors and had a special bond with wildlife. Dennis had a love for gardening and he could always be found tending to his very large vegetable garden. Dennis was loved by many for his kind and generous nature and will be very missed.
