Franco Costanzo Checchi

There are a lot of fond/fun memories I have of this amazing guy! We went to grade school together at St. Monica and he sat behind me in Miss Fry's class and he was always whispering to me and busting my chops. His humor was infectious and I got to see him and have a deep conversation with him 3 years ago when I went home. I could've talked with him for hours..... I have letters he wrote to me from Italy in 1986 ( we corresponded a bit ) and they'll hold a deep special place in my heart.

RIP my friend.... Love you!

I had the pleasure of getting to know Franco over the last few years (we were neighbors).

Franco brought a warm vibe to interactions I had with him. I enjoyed stopping by his house to say hi to him and Bella. He was always asking about my boys and had a kind spirit. A great guy that we will miss.

Sending my best to his family.

I will miss you my friend. We had some great times. Rest in peace. You were loved.

Le mie condoglianze alla famiglia di Franco, che non ho mai incontrato, ma che credo fosse l'unica altra persona con il mio cognome residente in Vermont. Ho sentito parlare di Franco la prima volta da persone che erano compagni di scuola di Heidi alla Spaulding High School. Successivamente ne ho sentito parlare da diverse altre persone che mi raccontavano del suo lavoro come ottimo chef a Burlington. Da allora ho sempre sperato di incontrarlo e conoscerlo. Aprendo il giornale questa mattina ho trovato la triste notizia della sua dipartita. Un abbraccio ai famigliari di Franco, conosciuto solo attraverso le buone parole di chi lo conosceva.
