Louis Anthony "Lou" Haydon left this world surrounded by his family at the John Levitow Health Care Center in Rocky Hill, CT.

Lou served in the U.S. Navy in the South Pacific, World War II as a Seaman Second Class from June 1943 and was honorably discharged March 1946.  He earned the American Theatre Medal, the Victory Medal, the Asiatic Pacific Medal and the European Theatre Medal.

He provided for his family with first a career with Supermarket Distributors and then Hartz Mountain Company until his retirement. He enjoyed many years in Florida with the love of his life, Marguerite (Barry) Haydon.

Lou was predeceased by his wife Marguerite "Peggy", his son Bob and his seven siblings, Helen (Butler), Sophie, Mary, Stanley, Frank, Eddie and John and his parents Mary (Kurcz) and Jan Hajdon.

He is survived by his loving daughter Debbie Sullivan; granddaughter, Robyn Sullivan; grandson, Barry Sullivan and his wife Ratchaneekorn; great grandchildren Brady, Haydon and Abigail Sullivan.

Lou was described by many who knew him (including his family) as the most kind, thoughtful, sweet individual to walk this earth.  He had celebrated his 100th birthday this August and all his friends that live at the VA were in attendance as well as his entire family.

Thank you to the people at Greystone Retirement Home where Lou lived prior to the VA and thank you isn't enough to say to all the people at the VA Health Care Center for the unbelievable care and love they gave Lou while living there.

Graveside services, with military honors, will be held on Friday December 19th at 1 p.m. at the State Veterans' Cemetery, 317 Bow Lane, Middletown. To share memories or express condolences online please visit www.biegafuneralhome.com.
