LITCHFIELD – Dr. George Thomas Carofino, 77, of Litchfield, peacefully slipped away on May 11, 2021, in the embrace of his wife and surrounded by his loving family. George was born in Meriden on May 31, 1943, the son of the late George Raymond Carofino and the late Anita (Rinaldini) Carofino.
George graduated from St. John’s Preparatory School in Danvers, Mass., in 1962, and attended Villanova University for two years. He was accepted into the School of Dentistry, University of Maryland after completing his sophomore year, despite the fact that the usual admission requirements were a college degree.
