John Luco Castelvetro, Sr., 68 years, a resident of Wells, died Monday, April 16, 2018 in New Haven, CT after a brief illness.
John was born in New Haven, CT on November 27, 1949, a son of the late John and Rachel (Alfieri) Castelvetro. He grew up in New Haven and graduated from James Hillhouse High School.

During his high school years, John worked at IHOP. After the service, he worked at Mossberg where he made gun barrels for several years, as well as tending bar periodically. He then started his long career with the United States Postal Service, retiring in 2010 from the Kennebunk Post Office.
John was a member of the New Haven Elks Club. He enjoyed all sports, playing softball on a local team, “Columbia Mattress” watching baseball and football. He greatly enjoyed following the UCONN Women’s Basketball team. He enjoyed meeting people and making new friends everywhere he went. John also loved cooking, trying new recipes and spending time with his family and friends. He enjoyed cook outs with family friends and volunteering at the Wells Recreational Center while his kids attended Summer Camp there for several years.
