Martin John Jendrejcak, son of the late John Andrew Jendrejcak and Genevieve “Jennie” Irene (Gieryk) Jendrejcak of Unionville passed away on Monday, May 2nd 2022.

Martin was brother of the late Claire Ann (Jendrejcak) Ryer, the late Raymond Wilifuir Jendrejcak, the late David J. Jendrejcak and uncle of the late Wayne Ryer. He was born on September 30th, 1948 in New Britain, CT and grew up in Unionville and the Farmington area.

After serving in the U.S. Army Martin went on to become a Tool-maker, fabricating countless precision components for various industries including the aerospace industry, always taking pride in his work and managing to achieve the highest standards and accomplish the most complex tasks put before him, believing that if a person was ever taught to read and had a sense of determination they could get quite a bit done. Working primarily for small manufacturers, his list of employers also includes a former Rexam facility and machine builders such as Farrel and I2S.

Seeking new challenges in retirement, Martin worked at Emerson/Branson Ultrasonics for a short time. One of his favorite hobbies was gardening – leaving us with two tomato plants to work with.

Martin is survived and dearly missed by his son James Jendrejcak of Southington, daughter Lisa (Jendrejcak) Sanford of Naugatuck, grandchildren Joshua and Erika Sanford of Naugatuck, nieces and nephews Linda (Ryer) Engel, Diane (Ryer) Schwartz of AZ, Christopher Ryer of FL, Michael Jendrejcak of Bristol, Brian Jendrejcak of New Britain, sister-in-law Janet (Robotham) Jendrejcak of Avon, and his good friend Julie of Naugatuck.

He will be interred in the Jendrejcak family plot in St. Mary’s Cemetery, Avon on Wednesday, June 1st at 10:30am.
