HEBRON-David J. Wrobel, 52, died on Sunday, November 29, 2020 at New York Presbyterian HospitalColumbia in New York where he was courageously awaiting a lung transplant due to his long battle with
Pulmonary Hypertension. He was born in New Britain on September 18, 1968 to Joseph and Mary
(Czajka) Wrobel.
Dave graduated from E C Goodwin Technical High School in New Britain and was united in marriage to
Lorraine Davis on May 4, 1996. Prior to his illness he worked for many years at Tilcon as a driver of mixer
and quarry trucks. Dave was an avid National Dragster photographer and fan; he and his camera never
missed a race in his coverage area. One of Dave’s greatest loves was his ’68 Mustang Convertible that he
restored but his real true love was that of his family and spending time with his kids.
Dave will be sorely missed by Lorraine Wrobel, his loving wife of 24 years and their children Ethan and
Emma of Hebron; his mother Mary Wrobel of New Britain; his brothers Alan Wrobel and wife Karen of
Seminole, FL and Walter Wrobel of New Britain; his sister Marilyn Labieniec and husband John of Berlin;
nieces and nephews, Daniel, Sarah, Matthew and Jeremy Labieniec, Amanda Mistretta, and Alan and
Nicole Wrobel. He was predeceased by his father Joseph Wrobel.
