Jan Lindberg, appreciated fresh corn on the cob
Stonington -- Of all the things you should know about Jan F. Lindberg, who died suddenly from a heart attack on Jan. 6 at the age of 78, this will get you started: Nearly every summer day during sweet corn’s peak ripeness in Connecticut, he would head out to the nearest stand then call home to get the water boiling and return for a feast with his wife, Susan (Fletcher), who survives him.

Jean E. Oddi, 91, "saw it all, did it all, and had a ball!
I was born. I lived. I died. I hate to admit it, but evidently I died. I guess, after all these years, God finally figured out where to put me. I should have known the end was near after I had to be in room # 20 in the emergency room. I hate even numbers. I'm leaving behind a hell of a lot of stuff Casey and Melissa will have to get rid of. So, if you're looking for random crap, you should wait the appropriate amount of time and get in touch with them.

John Judy, 44, 'greatest man to ever live'
After college, he set off on his sailboat for a journey to be forever known as "Noah's Ark in reverse" where he endeavored to eat one of every animal. His only regret in life is that he was not able to complete this task.
