Mr. Douglas James Pirc, age 56 of Orange, beloved husband of Loretta Troy Pirc, passed away at Milford Hospital on Friday, May 7, 2010. Son of Vladimir and Delight Rinehart Pirc of Milford, he was born on April 14, 1954 in Queens, NY. Doug grew up and attended school in Norwalk, CT. After high school, Doug went on to attend the University of Connecticut where, in addition to earning a degree in mechanical engineering, he met his wife of nearly 30 years Loretta Theresa Troy. Doug has been a resident of Orange for the past sixteen years and most recently employed at CasMed in Branford, where he designed medical monitors. In addition to his successful professional life, Doug enjoyed a rich personal life. He was a loving and devoted son, husband, and father. He always made sure his family had the best and worked tirelessly to ensure that. There was no project around the house which he would not tackle. He was a handyman extraordinaire and jack-of-all trades. Doug was always kind and generous to his friends and neighbors, always helping out in any way he could. He played ice hockey in high school and continued his passion for the sport, playing in various leagues throughout his life. He could often be seen in his boat off the shores of Milford or driving around town in the Caterham Seven, his roadster convertible. His dry sense of humor and jokester attitude brought smiles and laughs to all around him and could even make the dullest room break out in laughter. However, what Doug’s friends and family will cherish the most is his commitment to those he cared for and his legacy.
In addition to his wife and parents, survivors include his three loving children Christopher Pirc and his fiancée Emily Briggs both of New Haven, Cameron Pirc and Carolyn Pirc both of Orange, his mother-in-law Marion Troy of Stamford, two brother-in-laws Patrick Troy of New Hampshire and Brian Troy and his wife Sarah and their children Brian and Jennifer all of Florida, two sister-in-laws Mary Ellen Troy of Stamford, and Virginia Troy of Glastonbury. Doug is also survived by his brother Broderick Pirc and his wife Elaine and their daughter Tiffany all of Bethel. He was predeceased by his father-in-law Gus Troy.
