Mr. Todesco,
Sir, I didn't know you but I would just like to say thank you for your years of dedicated service and sacrifice for our Country-first when you served in the U.S. Navy during WW II and secondly for the citizens of Wellesly when you served with the WFD. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Uncle Chic was one of the kindest, most patient men I have ever known. I remember how excited we Feeney kids used to get whenever they came over to visit us in Dorchester, especially "playing with our big cousin Michael" Ironically, I too, had a "special son" and now work as a nurse in the field with Special Needs adults. Peace

My family and I will miss you, Uncle Chic. You were always so full of joy, despite whatever burdens you might have had. You were a giver and not a taker, and that is a wonderful legacy to leave to the rest of us. May you enjoy your eternal reward!

Dear Skipper and Brian,

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
I was also sadden to find out of the loss of your mother and father.
I have very fond memories of them they were both very special people.
I used to be a neighbor in Newton when Skipper was born. We have lost touch over the years but your parent's kindness have always remained in my heart.

NOVEMBER> All freezes again-among the pines, winds whispering a prayer..... November silently sneaks up on us, catching our senses by surprise. You were my father's ( Alfred) brother, he was born in November. I never stopped thinking about our family, our heritage, your kindness, may you rest in eternal peace with the love of your family radiating within you.
