John P. Harovas, 87, of Wethersfield, CT beloved husband of Dorothy (Sicaras) Harovas passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Wednesday, April 2, 2025. Born in Mesolongos, Greece, John was the son of the late Pericles and Harriett (Karapapa) Harovas.

In 1951, John and his family immigrated to America. He graduated from the University of Hartford and served in the Army Reserves.

For over forty-five years, John and Dorothy owned and operated Henry Miller Clothiers of Hartford and West Hartford. John loved fashion and had great sense of style. Many recall that he was so generous that if someone complimented his tie, he would take it off and hand it to them.

Over the years you could find John on the golf course, sitting in the sun reading his book, or fixing something around the house.

John's family was the center of his life. A devoted husband of 60 years, a dedicated father to his two children, and a joyful Pappou to his five grandchildren.

He was loved by many for his dry sense of humor, generous nature and immense kindness.

He was a strong leader, a man of faith and a true gentleman.  John embraced life, enjoying every moment and never complained about anything.

John leaves behind his beloved wife Dorothy, daughter Anne Emmanuel and husband Michael, son Will and wife Jodi and five cherished grandchildren Alexandra and husband Andrew, Stephanie, Jonathan, Benjamin and John. He also leaves behind his brother Anton Harovas, wife Joan nephews Niko Harovas, Perry Harovas and niece Melanie Davis. John was predeceased by his brother Phillip Harovas.
