FRANCIS SARGENT CHEEVER Jr.

It was my great pleasure to become friends with Sarge in recent years when he and Leila gathered with several of his Harvard classmates and their wives (how I fit in) for dinners in Northeast Vermont, aka the Northeast Kingdom. These events, which he christened the Caledonia Supper Club in honor of the NEK county in which Leila lives, were enlivened by his wit, erudition, and, especially, the ample supplies of carefully chosen wine that he generously supplied. We will be drinking toasts to...

My sincerest condolences to the family. I remember Sarge from serving in the Peace Corps with him in Tunisia from 1966-68.

Sarge was a friend, a colleague and a mentor for our son. He made our lives richer, warmer and happier. Our deep sympathy to his family and friends.

I knew Sarge well at the University of Chicago. His passing is a great loss. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends.

My sympathies to all family and friends of Sarge Cheever. Most people at the University of Chicago called him Sarge. He was my first contact at graduate school and let me stay in his apartment when I visited. He showed me Hyde Park and U of C during my visit. He was always a pleasure to spend time with during my time at U of C,

My heartfelt sympathy to Sarge's family on a sad day for us all. He loved and was so proud of each of you! He told your stories wherever he went. He had a gift for friendship. He'll be remembered by many. Thank you for capturing his life so well in few words, that was hard to do.

I have a soft spot in my heart for geographers, who wove stories as Peace Corps volunteers and the people who inhabited your locations. Cheers, cheers to you!
