John Backes LaVecchia Sr.

Dear Emy. Since we left vermont in 2017 I have thought of you both often. My condolences with the passing of John. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Karin Hegedus

John was a wonderful man, full of smiles and wisdom. So thankful that he was my GAL mentor. So sorry for your loss LaVecchia family.

My deepest sympathy for your loss.

My prayers are with you and the family. What a wonderful man who lived a clearly full and joyous life.

Prayers go out to the entire LaVecchia family. It is sooooo hard to lose someone who was such an active part of your family. Please know the RSC `boys´ are waiting for your dad to join them. What fond memories we all have of fun times, and great models for "work hard, play hard". Thanks for the memories ... they are still very vivid. Love to all of you! Mary

An exceptional man and an exceptional family. Our families have been close for generations. John was such a nice man. Our deepest condolences. Much love.

John and I played platform tennis together for Rock Spring for several years. After losing the first set of an away match rather soundly we rallied back to win the next two sets. Afterward, I heard one of our opponents say, "Those guys just didn´t look that good". That was the magic of being John´s partner. I was privileged to have played with John all those years. He truly was one of a kind. Our best wishes and condolences to the entire LaVecchia clan.
