In Memory of Glenn Kata
On Saturday October 18th 2008 our friend and Gat 7even member Glenn Kata
passed away at his home very unexpectedly. It has been determined that
congestive heart failure was the cause. Glen was only 47 years old and
leaves behind 2 adult children, family, and many friends.
The funeral will
assemble Wednesday at 9 AM at the Gagne-Piechowski Funeral Home 490
Voluntown Rd. Rt. 138 Jewett City. Funeral services will be held at
10 AM at the Quinebaug Valley Alliance Church Rt. 169 Canterbury.
Internment will follow in Pachaug Cemetery, Griswold. A reception at
the Sprague Rod and Gun club well be held immediately following the
cemetery services. Calling hours are Tuesday 6 to 8 PM. In lieu of
flowers donations may be made to the Quinebaug Valley Alliance
Church 567 So. Canterbury Rd. Canterbury, Ct. 06331.
Glenn's family has asked that all his friends that ride participate in the funeral precession on their motorcycles.
We are meeting at The 7even (The gulf station on Rt. 12 in Lisbon) Monday night at 6:00 PM to determine how we can assist in the arrangements and the reception.
Glenn A. Kata, 47, of Russell St. Jewett City died unexpectedly at his home on Saturday. He was born April 21, 1961 in Norwich son of Cynthia (Robella) Kata- Sawicki and the late Richard Kata. Mr. Kata was a self employed contractor who owned and operated Accel Builders. He was a member of the Quinebaug Valley Alliance Church. Besides his mother survivors
include two children Richard Kata of Jewett City, Erin Kata of Norwich, a brother Richard Kata of Sterling, a sister Linda Praisner of Lisbon, his aunt and uncle John and Carol Robella of Jewett City and his friends at the GAT 7EVEN RC, and two nephews and a niece. Glenn gave to friends and family until he could give no more and his heart stopped. His final gift was to Backus Hospital “Life Choice” where he donated himself to help those left behind.

The Gat 7 would like to thank our own, Rev. Greg Perry for a wonderful
job. We would also like to thank The Greeneville Congregational
Church, The Greeneville Neighborhood Association, and all the good
people of Greeneville who were at the Blessing of the Bikes as part of
Greeneville Celebration Day this Saturday afternoon. The weather
was a bit unsettled but we just dressed accordingly and after the
blessing we took a nice back roads ride, which of course included a stop
for food.
Thank You Greeneville!
Greeneville, be
prepared for a monster turn out next year!
