John Raymond Baccki

This is a Sample Obituary, what you have the potential of seeing for a loved one. Post Up To 2500 Words, 10 Images for XX.00. It is rare that you see such an extensive tribute to a person who has passed. This website, obitsonline.net, gives you that option. This is a Sample Obituary.

BENNINGTON, VT

— John Raymond Baccki passed away on August 1st, 2018 at the Albany NY Medical Center at the age of 67.
On May 30, 1951, John came into the world in an ordinary manner. John then proceeded to spend the next sixty-seven years being anything but ordinary. He was kicked out of high school and church for his long hair, earring, and outlandish clothing. But confrontation with authority didn’t dampen his unique spirit. John spent his entire life blazing his own path and flipping off the world’s injustices

Marriage

John Raymond Baccki married his teenage sweetheart Linda Orff in 1969, and together they relocated to Arlington, VT, with their young children, Dawn and Keith. The couple loved the peace and tranquility of the mountains, finding it the ideal place to raise their children. John immersed himself in his new environment, developing a deepening love for the outdoors. Over the years John went out on many excursions with friends and family-hunting and fishing with son Keith, George Albro, Billy McClellan , Uncle Frank, Little Frankie, brother-in-law Russ, and nephews Chris and Jason. John could often be found at five AM with his fly fishing rod on the banks and in the water of the Battenkill River. Very early into their new life, the family endured a house fire that nearly took the lives of John and his two children. Thanks to the barking of their Brittany Spaniel, Frankie, John was able to save Dawn and Keith that day, but the family lost everything else. Financially, the loss was devastating, but as always, John and Linda stayed strong in the face of great challenge and adversity. John and Linda’s attributes of strong character, hard work, and perseverance would be passed down to their children and grandchildren.

Music

John Raymond Baccki inherited a keen interest in playing music and singing from his mother, Nancy Baccki, and grandmother, Hilda Toppan. Writing and performing music played a major part of his life over many decades. As a teenager, he played in bands such as the Bad Seed in New Haven, and later was a member of the Dave Brooks Orchestra in Manchester and the Larry Clayton Band. While working in Connecticut, he was the bass player for the Five Satins for over a year. John maintained these artistic relationships throughout his life. John Raymond Baccki was inspired by the great bands and musical acts of the time, including The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Sly Stone, Leon Russell, Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, and Joe Cocker. In his early adulthood, inspired by the mountains and streams of Vermont, John embarked on a decades-long endeavor to write and record the many songs and melodies constantly running through his mind. His own songwriting and co-writing with friends such as Ayessa Rodies Rourke, Mark Okerman, and Mark Burke resulted in an extensive catalog of original material. John would often include his son, Keith, in his musical endeavors, having Keith play drums on several recordings and in various bands and impromptu jam sessions.

Poetry

Although John stopped playing music later in life, that creative spirit never left him. He continued writing poetry and spent his last years writing about the people and places of his childhood. He hoped to compile this material into a book called The Ghosts of New Haven.

Talents

John Raymond Baccki’s talents extended beyond music. An artist, a craftsman, and a self-taught engineer, he loved to draw and make things with his hands, and he put the effort of a perfectionist into everything he did. Without a high school diploma or any architectural training, John spent his spare time after the house fire sketching out a blueprint of the home that he would eventually build with his own hands. With a few simple tools and hundreds of hours of hard work, John turned lines on a large piece of poster board into the beautiful, one-of-a-kind, fairytale home that they would live in for years to come. John could write a song or a poem in the morning, draw up a blueprint sketch for a new staircase in the afternoon, and swap out the transmission on his daughter’s ’72 BMW 2002 before the sun set. John did not dither on what he wanted to do, what needed to be done, and especially what would benefit others the most.

Center of Attention

Always the life of the party, John liked to be the center of attention, but for the best of reasons “ to make people laugh.” No quip, prop, or gag was too ridiculous if it meant bringing a smile to the faces of the people he loved. He didn’t let the fact that he didn’t know how to play the old trombone he’d found get in the way of providing the evening entertainment. He was also particularly fond of the kazoo, much to the laughing chagrin of family and friends. He loved cooking elaborate dinners, and a meal with John Baccki was never less than memorable.

Animals

An ardent lover of animals, John enjoyed the company of many pets, including Blue, Slick, Jimmy, Big Tweet, Miss Kitty, the mallards, countless fish, Bugle, China, Jazz, Woody, Julia, and his most recent companion, Lucy.

Family is Number One

But the biggest part of his heart was saved for his family. He remained a loyal son to his mom through her last years, and had an unshakable belief in and love for his children, Dawn and Keith. He felt tremendous pride in his three grandchildren, Clay, Chase, and Veronica, whom he taught to ride bicycles, build the perfect snowman, skip rocks on the river, and fly kites. These were the simple things that he cherished. Above all was his abiding love and devotion for Linda, his wife of 49 years.

Survivors

In addition to his immediate family, John Raymond Baccki leaves behind sisters Cindy Griffith (Russell) and Lori Taft (David), father-in-law Arvine Orff and sister-in-law Rosemary Bourne (Richard) of Branford, CT, daughter-in-law Deborah Mead, son-in-law Fred Hoyt, adoring nephews and nieces, as well as many good friends. He was big brother John to Cindy and Lori, funny Uncle John to a lucky few, and loyal friend Johnny to many.

]]> GRANVILLE NY – Susan Z Crouse passed away on Thursday, August 2, 2018 at her home.

Sue was born on January 4, 1921 in Granville, NY the daughter of the late Alex and Helen (Flisko) Zidoviski.

She was a graduate of Granville High School and lived her entire life in this community. Upon graduation she undertook housekeeping jobs which eventually led to working for the Berkowitz family caring for their son. Over the years she worked in many area businesses, Telescope Casual Furniture, Kazon Dress Shop in Poultney, Whitehall Coat Shop in Whitehall, Nora Lee Lingerie in Granville, Scotties Gift Shop and finally at J & J Lingerie in Granville. She was a hard worker and gained valuable skills throughout the years. She retired from J &J Lingerie as manager, a position she held for 18 years. Her retirement was in 1986.

When she gave birth to her daughter, which was a joy in her life, she undertook making most of Michelle’s clothes along with knitted and crocheted items. A true labor of love. They were items that today, still mean the world to Michelle. Sue eventually undertook quilting as well. She was always passionate about her flower and vegetable gardens. When her infirmities made it impossible for her to do the tasks required she would say to her caregivers, “How about we go out and weed in the garden today?” The “we” she was referring to was them, but she sat close by and watched.

She enjoyed attending gatherings at Young at Heart in Poultney and the friendships she made there through the years. Sue looked forward with anticipation to attend the Farmer’s Market.

She also enjoyed time spent at Michelle and Terry’s home for family gatherings or to enjoy their gardens and other domestic projects.

Sue was predeceased by her husband William B. Crouse, her siblings Michael Zidovsky, Helen Gilbert and Mary Hallar.

POWNAL, VT —

Kate Erin Burrington, 36, a resident of Pownal, VT passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday July 17, 2018 in Ocala, Florida. She was born in North Adams, MA on April 29, 1982 daughter of Joel and Karen (Wachowski) Burrington. She grew up in Pownal where she attended Pownal Elementary; she graduated from Mt. Anthony Union High School, Class of 2000. Kate was a loving and hardworking free spirit who was an avid horse lover from a very young age. Her very first pony was named, Paco and the next addition to the horse family was Tristan, her Morgan. Tristan and Kate were inseparable.

Influences

There were many people who influenced and helped Kate in her early years with her love for horses. However, two women who helped shaped the rider she was and the person she turned out to be were Denise Film and Edie Devens. Denise Film taught Kate to ride while she was in pony club and Edie Devens was Kate’s mentor and teacher throughout her teenage years. Right after high school, Kate went to work at Saratoga Race Track as an exercise rider, for trainer Jonathan Sheppard. Mr. Sheppard asked Kate to work for him at his training facility in Camden, South Carolina which launched her career as an exercise rider and trainer.

Kate’s career took her from Camden, South Carolina to Greenwich, New York, Versailles, Kentucky and most recently, Ocala, Florida with many stops in between. Some of the amazing places Kate worked include Todd Pletcher Racing Stables, Charles Lopresti Racing, Blackwood Stables, Stonebridge Farm, Mill Creek, KatieRich Farms and eventually, Stonestreet Farms. Kate was an incredible exercise rider and had vast knowledge of race horses and their breeding lines. She was a wonderful horse woman, daughter, family member and friend. Kate touched many lives through her travels and will be greatly missed by all her family and friends.
