Curt Ronald Squires, 53, passed away peacefully on September 22, 2026, at Hartford Hospital after a long battle with addiction.

Curt’s life was filled with both challenges and moments of joy. While his struggle with addiction was a difficult part of his journey, it did not define the whole of who he was. He was a son, father, brother, uncle, and friend, and he will be remembered for the moments of happiness, laughter, and love he shared with those around him.

Curt was predeceased by his father, Ronald Squires. He leaves behind his mother, Elaine Romagnano, and her husband, Joseph Romagnano; his sons, Kyle and Patrick Nye; his sister, Tammy Nye; his brother-in-law, Earl Nye; and many nieces and nephews who will carry his memory with them.

Curt had a deep love for animals. His cat, Lucky, held a particularly special place in his heart and was a source of comfort and companionship to him. He also enjoyed waterskiing, playing video games, and shooting pool with his father, finding enjoyment in the simple things that brought him happiness.

Curt’s journey was not always easy, but he was loved deeply by his family. Those who knew him will hold onto the memories they shared with him, the good times, and the moments that made Curt uniquely Curt.

May he now find the peace he had been searching for. He will be missed, remembered, and loved always.

A Celebration of Life and burial will be held on Saturday, October 10, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at South Cemetery 299 C***r Mill Road Tolland, CT 06084
Family and friends are invited to join together to remember Curt, share memories, and celebrate his life.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that donations be made in Curt’s memory to Teen Challenge, a Christian organization dedicated to helping individuals overcome addiction and find hope and healing.

12/9/1959 - 8/26/26

Tammie Mary Bokoff-Shinkiewicz passed away peacefully and uncharacteristically quietly, in the company of her loved ones, at home. Born on December 9, 1959 in Norwich, CT, Tammie was raised in Canterbury, the youngest daughter of Raymond and Lillian (Malboeuf) Shinkiewicz. She was predeceased by her parents, her brother Raymond Shinkiewicz, and her sister Sheila Shinkiewicz. She is survived by her siblings; Roger Shinkiewicz and his wife Patricia, as well as her sister, Christine Heon.

Tammie married her "one and only husband", JP Bokoff, in 1983. She was the mother of two “incredible and incredibly different” daughters; Shanna O'Donnell and husband Daniel, and Melissa Bokoff and cherished partner Gabriel Tinta. Tammie briefly attended Killingly Vocational Agriculture High School, but her true education was self directed. In 1985, Tammie and Jay established T&J Equine Center and Tack Barn in Griswold. For the next forty years, the 225 acre farm was more than a business—it was her life's work. Tammie devoted herself to the care of horses, the land, and all creatures great and small. She rehabilitated hundreds of animals including turkeys, raccoons, bunnies and birds. She loved farm livin'.

Fiercely independent, resilient, and unapologetically herself, Tammie had a booming laugh that could fill a barn. Her sharp wit and strength carried her through till the very end. She was an artist at heart and an endlessly creative tinkerer. For her, almost anything could be built or repaired with enough determination, baling twine and duct tape. A good cup of coffee and the dog helped, too.

While she valued her privacy and farm life, Tammie's happiest moments were found traveling in the mountains singing along to John Denver. She loved the Colorado Rockies, Mount Rainier, and cruising through Alaska. "It's not just a trip, it's an adventure!"

In her final year, Tammie made a home with her daughter, Melissa, in Dayville, Connecticut. She lived life on her own terms and worked harder than most. She is deeply missed.
