Obituary of Robert C. Blagusesky

Robert C. Blagusesky (83), of Glastonbury, Connecticut passed away on May 27, 2023, with his sister Deborah by his side. A graduate of Glastonbury High School, he enlisted in the Army National Guard serving his country by protecting a Nike air defense missile site at the height of the cold war. After his service, he became a commercial carpenter.  Though he worked for various companies on many projects. Robert spent many years with the ACMAT Corporation working and supervising work teams on many major buildings that grace the skylines of Connecticut and Massachusetts including the General Electric, United Technologies, John Hancock, and General RE buildings.  Though he was leading teams of workers, Robert worked alongside his teams with an unwavering commitment and a solid work ethic. Even in retirement, his yard was a park-like setting which he took great pride in perfecting. Robert was an avid fan of many sports.  Due to his love of engines, he had a particular affinity for auto racing.  Not just a spectator, he would wrench on a number of locally based racing teams.  Later in life, he came to know Automobile Designer and Builder Chip Foose, whose work Robert greatly admired.  Chip’s sketches of projects they discussed decorate Robert’s home. A man with many dear friends, some since childhood.  Robert was a selfless person, helping anyone needing his assistance, experience, or knowledge. He spent many years at his New Hampshire summer home and enjoyed time on his boat on Lake Winnipesaukee. He was preceded in death by his parents, Chester and Marie (nee Tohlmann) Blagusesky, and is survived by his loving family and many friends.  He was deeply loved and will be missed.
