Christopher Ghiloni Obituary

Christopher "Chris" Ghiloni died of heart failure at Tufts Medical Center on March 18, 2021. He was born and raised in Marlboro, son of Louis F. and Barbara (LaForme) Ghiloni. He started at Quincy District Court in 1976 and finished his career as an Assistant Clerk Magistrate. During his tenure he had the privilege of helping many people with their struggles. A longtime member of the Son's of Italy in Braintree, his pastimes included skiing at Loon Mountain and Sunday River and being in the company of his beloved cronies. He enjoyed making specialty Italian cuisines for his family and friends and was an avid and competitive vegetable gardener. He is survived by his wife, Suzanne (Ziegler), sons, Matthew and James, both of Braintree, sister, Ellen (James) Brien of Marlboro, brothers, Marty (Linda) of Hudson, and John (Denise) of Marlboro. During their 41 years of marriage, he and Sue made so many wonderful friends, many over more than half a century, some more recent. His family is grateful and appreciative of these friendships and all the love and support received during his last difficult weeks. In keeping with the Covid-19 guidelines, which include face coverings, social distancing and wait times in line due to temporary limited capacity, those attending will be asked to pay their respects and depart to allow the next guests to enter the funeral home. Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend visiting hours on Monday, March 22, from 3-7 p.m. in the Cartwright-Venuti Funeral Home, 845 Washington St., Braintree. A private funeral Mass will be held on Tuesday, March 23, at 10 a.m. in St. Clare Church, Braintree. Burial will be private.

I had the pleasure of really knowing what the man was. Sorry to say the window was just too short. Life has a way of putting people in your life only to teach . Chris was a teacher, always had a level head no matter what. Many a night I lay in bed thinking how I should have taken his advice. You can't go back
Speaking about going back, how about Watkins Glen NY ,Cape Cod or Good Harbor beach , the fun times we had, You are a good and trusted friend . Look forward to us catching up again sometime.
Ziggy, I'm so glad for you to be able to have such a wonderful partner for so long , let your emptyness be filled with the joy you shared , Mathew and James God Bless you all. Love Frog
PS don't worry Whale and Pig will show him around
