Mr. Filanowski was a World War II veteran who served with the U.S. Army in the China, Burma, India theater. He was employed by Remington Rand for more than 30 years as a truck driver, warehouse manager, and carpenter.
Mr. Filanowski was a member and past commander for the American Legion Post 34 in Milford. He served on the World War II monument committee, and was active in many other community activities.
He will be remembered for his fun, loving spirit, for the great picnics in his backyard, and for engaging in conversation with anyone he would meet, his family said.
He loved cooking, fishing, planting flowers, UConn basketball (especially the girls), playing cards, helping neighbors, and time spent with family and friends. He would brag about his kids and grandkids to whoever would listen.
