Dear Jane and Adinolfi Family – I am deeply saddened with the passing of Justin. It was my pleasure and privilege to work with him during his service on the Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council. Justin sat to the left of my desk and we shared many moments of levity during long and boring meetings. He and I shared stories about our families, and Justin was so proud of his children and their accomplishments. With us both having teachers in our family he expressed his pride with Jane’s career as a teacher in Cheshire. I was so impressed by his intellgence, ability to communicate with people, and his positive attitude about his life. He was a kind, compassionate and Christian man with a smile on his face, who saw the best in others. Justin was always a gentleman…but he was also a gentle man. Justin Adinolfi will be missed by so many people, and those who knew him were blessed to have known him. Rest in Peace, Justin.
Dear Jane and family, My prayers and thougts are with you. Much love, Nancy
