Fred Villacci Obituary
FALMOUTH -- Fred Nicola Villacci, 85, of Falmouth, passed away unexpectedly Thursday morning, April 18th, 2013.
Fred was born in Falmouth on April 2, 1928 where he attended Falmouth schools in his childhood and where he remained a lifelong Falmouth resident. Fred loved to keep busy working very hard as an employee of Downeast Energy for the past 38 years, and over 65 years as a self-employed landscaper planting and spreading kindness to everyone he met.
Fred had many interests that included a lot of outdoor activities. He was an avid hunter and loved to fish. Spending time at the family camp in Freeman Township were some of his fondest memories. He also enjoyed reading, gardening and spending time with his children and grandchildren. Fred was an active and much loved member of Emmaus Lutheran Church in Falmouth, and was the first recipient of their 'Good and Faithful Servant Award' for the many lives he touched in his community.
Fred is survived by his children Linda Lowell, Brenda Villacci, Pam Reynolds and her husband George, Debbie Rutter and her husband James and Fred J. Villacci. Fred counted 11 grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren; and four great-great-grandchildren among his valued family along with a surviving sister, Marie Brown and a brother, Daniel Villacci and numerous nieces, nephews and other extended family and friends. Fred was predeceased by his wife of 56 years, Dorothy (McCurdy) Villacci as well as 15 other siblings. Fred had the fortune to spend the years after his wife died with a close friend, Arlene Osier and her family.

I am so saddened by the loss of Fred. Though I have only had the pleasure of knowing him over the last 5 years my life is fuller having known him.
He was such a hard worker, such a kind man, and always filled the room with laughs and smiles. Fred had an uncanny ability to make everyone laugh, and told the best jokes that only he could get away with! :)
I will forever miss his smile and him picking on me!
