Steve, Our sypmathy to you and your family. If you are anything like your dad, or he anything like you, he must have been a good person. You had to get the genes from both parents, so his were very important in the creation of Steve, the man, teacher and parent. Diane Clark, Ret. N.B.

Euology Thomas Henry Bugnacki, my Dad, was born in New Britain with his brothers Frank and Dennis and his sister Mary Ann. Coming from humble beginnings, he had a strong entrepeneurial drive. He raised mink in high school, started a storm window installation business, and with my Uncle Frank, he cofounded Silk City Packing, Western Beef-Mart and Bugnacki's Special Meat Products. Later, with my brother Michael, he established MTS Builders. My Dad was famous for falling asleep anytime, anywhere, especially at family gatherings. We all have a good laugh looking at family photos of him taking one of his famous power naps. My Dad was a good father. His family was always important to him. He was always asking for updates on all family members and making sure everyone was doing well. He loved his kids and grand kids. His favorite past time was to sit at McDonald's and show pictures and tell stories about them to anyone within a three booth radius. Dad was generous, especially with his time. He spent countless hours working on home improvement jobs with me, he fed the homeless, was a devout Catholic, and served as a eucharistic minister here at St. James. He had a big heart. With his best friend, Jim Carlson, he used to make sure two elderly ladies, the McClusker sisters, had a ride to church each week. He raised all of us to love God. He never missed a little league game and he was an avid Red Sox fan. I always knew the score of the game long before smartphone score apps, because my Dad would call me to talk about a great play or more typically, after a tough loss, to declare that the team should be disbanded and all new players brought in. Dad was an excellent cook. He enjoyed talking about food and was known to joyfully describe an upcoming meal in GREAT detail. Some of his specialties were stuffed peppers, German potatoes, pea soup, and ratatouille. He was a meat lover to the "Nth" degree. Ask him a question about which cut of meat to buy for any occasion and his face would light up and he'd be in his glory. He may have missed his calling as a cattle auctioneer. He loved to give us a sample of these skills whenever possible. Usually ending in "Silk City bought her, put her on the truck boys, Silk City bought her". My father was a charmer and could strike up a conversation with anyone. He could also spontaneously break into song at the dinner table. He loved to sing a little "Blue Suede Shoes", any Barbara Streisand song, or to his grandkids delight, he'd create his own silly lyrics to no tune in particular. He was famously clueless when it came to technology. He actually was tapping on his computer monitor in attempts to click a link long before touch screens were invented. He was famous for saying, "Aaahhhh" for something he didn't approve of. He also had many "Dad'isms" that aren't completely appropriate for this setting. So many things remind me of my Dad and all of the lessons he taught me over the years. Even though I work on computers all day, if you look inside my laptop bag, you're sure to find the Tom Bugnacki cure all to any problem-A WOOD SHIM. His lessons will continue to be passed on from generation to generation. Believe it or not, we'll miss the STRONG, and often UNSOLICITED, opinions he so willingly shared with ANYONE about ANY topic at ANY time. We'll even miss him sitting in his easy chair listening to 60 Minutes with the volume blaring or at the head of the dining room table barking out requests to anyone in the vicinity for the salt shaker, a plate of food or a Diet Coke. My father was very proud of all the accomplishments scholastically, athletically and otherwise of all his kids and grandkids. He was a great encourager. In fact, he had all his kids and grandkids believing we were the best in the world at whatever we were involved with. Michael, he was so proud of your skills and success in the building business. Tracy, he was proud of your career and your devotion to your children. The thing we'll miss the most is just the sound of his voice. We love you, Dad. We miss you already.
