John J. Lucsky, 84, of Danbury, died on September 8 at the Danbury Hospital. John was born June 6, 1926, in Danbury, the son of Emelia (Wirag) and Stephen Lucsky. A lifelong resident of Danbury, he graduated from local schools, and was a US Army veteran of World War II, where he served in the European Theater. He was later employed with the Castro Convertible Co. as a fabric cutter, retiring after 22 years.
