He is survived by: his wife Janet; and his sons, Thomas G Bertelsen, Sr. of Manchester, CT and Steven C Bertelsen of Marlborough, CT. He is also survived by several nieces and nephews.
After his stroke, he joined an awesome speech and language program at UConn which evolved into a weekly book club for people with aphasia, which helped stroke survivors with speaking, reading, writing and gave them internet/web meeting skills during Covid restrictions.
