I met Buddy Cianci at the Biltmore Hotel in downtown Providence at the November 1992 election. He was a very nice person.
I will keep Buddy Cianci and his family in my prayers.

My husband and I were married on October 9,1977. Our reception was at the Venus de Milo. As we were waiting to have our pictures taken, Buddy walked by. Without any hesitation I called out to him "What, no kiss for the bride?" He immediately turned around, walked over to us, kissed
me on the cheek, congratulated us and then took a picture with us. That really ment something special to us and we always mention it when we talk about our wedding.
He did great things for Providence and...

I met Buddy 45 years ago when he was my professor at Bryant College for Political Science. He was a one semester fill in but boy did he fill us with Government from start to finish. I worked for the City of Providence after graduation so he became my boss and my Mayor. He always recognized me with a smile and an acknowledgement. How could anyone not like 'Buddy'!!!
