James Francis McNally Jr., 65, of Lebanon husband of Susan (Russell) McNally passed away Thursday February 5, 2026 at his home. He was a civil engineer and licensed land surveyor. He graduated from NFA in 1978 and later obtained a degree from Thames Valley State Technical College.

Jim then moved on to Boundaries of Griswold, where he spent several years before retiring in 2018. Jim spent much of his time designing work for Connecticut College.

After retiring, Jim continued his passion for project design on his own personal home of 34 years. He and Sue together loved to grow their own vegetables and design and maintain beautiful flower gardens around their home. Much time was spent creating a haven for birds and admiring them from their porch. When you visited them, no matter the season, you spent time on their porch, sipping coffee, enjoying tasty treats and getting a lesson on the many different types of birds visiting the vast array of feeders. His love for their dogs over the years was obvious to all. He brought them most everywhere they went and that unconditional love was mutual as his devoted dog Riley stayed right by his side as his illness progressed. Jim was serious about his work and his passion for excellence was undeniable, but his sense of humor was outstanding. Jim loved to throw a party at his home and the entertainment was the most important part. He loved to entertain the kids and Uncle Jim will forever be remembered for his crazy uncle antics as he hosted and choreographed the festivities for the Easter and Thanksgiving get-togethers and sleep-overs at his home.

Jim is survived by his wife of 34 years, Susan (Russell) McNally.

In loving Memory of Gregory Glynn

Gregory Glynn, 84, of Chaplin, CT, beloved husband, father, and grandfather, passed away peacefully on February 7, 2026, surrounded by his family.

Born in Hartford, CT, Greg graduated from the University of Connecticut in 1966. A proud Husky, he parlayed his education into a distinguished 40-year career as an executive in the wire and cable industry. His work allowed him to be a true international traveler, exploring the world while building lasting professional legacies.

While his career took him across the globe, Greg’s heart was always near the water. Whether he was at his home on the Natchaug River, enjoying the tropical breeze of St. John, in the lanai on Marco Island, or by his pond in Mansfield. He was an avid fisherman, a dedicated boater, and an enthusiastic golfer, pursuing his passions with the same intensity he brought to every aspect of his life.

Above all, Greg was a man of deep loyalty. He was the beloved husband of Irene, with whom he shared a remarkable 62 years of marriage—a journey of love, adventure, and partnership. Throughout his life, he was never without a canine companion; he loved the many dogs that shared his homes over the years, most recently his beloved beagle, Bruce.

Greg is survived by his wife, Irene; his son, Scott; his daughter, Julie; and his four cherished grandchildren, Lily, Coulter, Abby, and Amanda, who will carry on his legacy of integrity and adventure.

The family will hold a private Celebration of Life on February 11, 2026.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to the ASPCA, in honor of Greg’s lifelong love for his dogs. https://secure.aspca.org/donate/memorial To send an online expression of sympathy, please visit www.adamscremationct.com
