We vividly remember Mr. Chiodo sitting at his kitchen table for dinner after a long hard day working at Brown & Sharpe. He always had enlightening stories to tell us about his life and his experiences. We will always remember his hospitality and the impression he made on us during our formative years. In this regard, he continues to live in our hearts and souls. Thanks for the fond memories. Andy & Terri Marafino

Dear Chiodo Family,

Louie was good friends of my dad, Leo Tracy and our family. He spent so much time at our house during the Drum & Bugle Corp years. He was a good friend to my dad and like an uncle to all of us. We were so sad to hear of his passing. Such a good man! So sorry for your loss.

Louie and family,
Margaret told us about your Dad's passing. We were so sorry to hear the sad news. Lou, I will always remember the kind and gentle soul your father was, his warm manner, and his humor. I recall the times, after a hard workout, sharing a cold drink with you, Margaret, and your dad and mom. They were always so caring towards Margaret and me. Please take comfort in knowing that they are now united and are enjoying the presence of our Heavenly Father.
We think of you often and we will keep you and your family in our prayers. John and Janet Marafino

Louie,
I ran into someone today who told me that someone I might know, who use to help out with the drum and bugle corp, passed away this week. I was shocked to hear it was your Dad or I would have been at the funeral. I imagine you had come out here from CA for this. Your father was a very sweet man, and I have special memories of him in my life. My prayers are with you. Gloria Lusignan

Louie & family,
My family and I were so sad to hear about your Dad's passing. I have nothing but very very fond memories of him. He was such a generous and kind soul and always put you at ease, even at the most difficult times. My family and I talked about him often throughout the years and will always remember his warm and sincere nature. Our heartfelt sympathies go out to you and your family at this difficult time, but we hope you take comfort in knowing that he is happily reunited with your mom. We wish you all the best. Sincerely,
Andrew, Margie, Margaret, & Norma Marafino

Louie and family,
It was with a heavy heart that I learned of Louies passing. I have so many fond memories growing up with the Chiodo family. Louie was one of a kind, a true gentlemen, and loyal friend. Whether it was at Bowling and Bingo or bugle corps Louie always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. He will be missed! Louie and Liz reunited, he missed her so much.
