Kevin Earl Jeglinski
Kevin Earl Jeglinski, “Jigger,” as some knew him, 75, passed away peacefully on April 30 at Watson Assisted Living in Dover. Born on December 2, 1950, in Nashua, he was the son of Stephen and Eva (Chandler) Jeglinski. Kevin was the beloved husband of Sallyanne (Tatseos) Jeglinski, with whom he shared a devoted marriage since 1977. Together, they built a life centered on love, laughter, and family.
He worked for 30 years as an operator at Continental Paving, where he was known for his strong work ethic and dedication.
Kevin truly loved life and brought joy to those around him. A natural jokester and often the center of attention, he had a gift for storytelling and making people laugh. He had many passions, including slot car racing (where he was an avid enthusiast and even created his own track), building model cars, and listening to classic rock. Kevin was a fan of sports, particularly hockey and football, and he also loved skiing.
Above all else Kevin cherished time with his family, especially his grandchildren, who brought him immense pride and happiness. He loved riding his Yamaha Roadster motorcycle, particularly enjoying trips to the beach with his wife by his side.
He adopted and adored cats and dogs, providing his animals excellent care and earning their affection and trust.
A caring and devoted husband, Kevin took great pride in looking after Sally and sharing a life filled with companionship and love. He will be remembered for his warmth, humor, and the lasting memories he created with those who knew and loved him.
In addition to his wife Sallyanne, Kevin is survived by his children Katie Knight and her husband John of Hudson, and Elena Grossman and her husband Adrian Cooke of Middletown, Connecticut; his son in law Laurent Cavanna of France; his grandchildren Trevor Knight of Hudson, Morgan Knight of Florida, Louis Cavanna of France, and Jacques Cavanna of France; his siblings Daniel Jeglinski, Nancy Gauthier and husband Richard, and Joanne Sorice; his brothers in law George Tatseos and wife Mary Jo, and Philip Tatseos; as well as many dear nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his daughter Sari (Grossman) Cavanna; siblings Virginia Creteau, Stephen Jeglinski, Carl Jeglisnki, Linda Laquerre, and Shirley Estes.
