Louis John Soracchi

Lou passed peacefully with his wife, Anne by his side in his home in Lecanto, Florida. Anne and Lou shared 62 years of a happy marriage. He was a supportive and loving father to daughter Margaret Morrison (Tyler) and son Jim Soracchi (Sang Won). He was a proud and loving grandfather to Annika, Tessa, and Finn Morrison, and Alex and Ian Soracchi. Lou was a 1959 graduate of Windham High School where he played 4 years of Football, Baseball and Basketball, later forming a group of "old" teammates in his "Over the Hills Group". At 30 years old, some thought playing competitive sports was over, but Lou continued playing some sports until the last 3 years of his 84 years. After graduating from UConn, Lou spent his working career in facets of the insurance business, retiring in 2007 from the NLC Insurance Agency in Norwich, CT. Lou enjoyed his life as a "snowbird" between homes in Florida and Niantic, CT. He enjoyed travel and collecting and trading treasures of his own unique liking. Lou will be remembered as a good friend, an honest reserved soft spoken man except when enjoying a UConn Men's basketball game with a small wager with Bob or T.C. "Go Huskies"! He enjoyed ice cream every evening at 9 PM, especially Road Runner Raspberry and dark chocolate. He also loved fresh green beans with no "tails"! Lou's wishes will be respected with a family and friends gathering at Black Point and a family burial in Columbia, CT.
