James Stephen Mihalovic

September 18, 1946 - July 26, 2019

James Stephen Mihalovic, age 72, of Seymour, the loving husband of 30 years to Donna Sorensen Mihalovic, passed away peacefully on Friday, July 26, 2019 at Shady Knoll Health Center surrounded by his loving tribe. He was born in Bridgeport on September 18, 1946, son of the late Stephen and Irene (Palchak) Mihalovic. Jim was a graduate of Central High School of Bridgeport and proudly served his country in the United States Army in Vietnam from 1965-67. He was a Master Carpenter by trade, often self employed, but also worked for the Kitchen Mill, Cornerstone Construction, and KB Carpentry. Jim loved trips to the casinos, Mohegan Sun, and fun trips to Atlantic City with Aly and Molly. He was an avid golfer and loved the beach and most days he could be found at Fairchild Wheeler or Seaside Park in his childhood city of Bridgeport. In Seymour, he could be found daily at the local Stop and Shop. Most of all, Jim will miss spending time with his family and many friends and will be sadly missed by all, but will remain forever in our hearts. His family would like to thank his team of caretakers from Shady Knoll who made the last two years of his life his home. His loving family includes his four daughters Stefanie Poulos, Kristin Ruszkowski and her husband Stanley, Jennifer Edwards and her husband Christopher and Colleen Hogue, his five cherished grandchildren, who lovingly called him Papa, Alyson Waldron, Hailey and Jacob Ruszkowski and CJ and Ryan Edwards, his nephew David Mihalovic, his sisters in law Patty Farrell and her husband and Jim's best friend James and Kristen Borogognone and her husband Keith and his brother in law Paul Sorensen and his wife Karen.
