Thomas J. Christoni
Thomas J. Christoni, 51, of Derby died suddenly, at home, on October 31, 2013.
He loved the Northeast Kingdom and all things related to it. He was an avid ice fisherman, and enjoyed any kind of salt water or fresh water fishing opportunities. He loved hunting in the fall with friends and family, and always enjoyed the fruits of his hunts and fresh fish.
He was an avid sports fan — golf was his main passion — and he played very well for having just begun. Any game that was on, he would be watching. Baseball, football, basketball and hockey were continually hearing his voice yelling at the television.
He worked for many years at Vermont Aerospace in Lyndonville. He loved his work there as a machinist, engineer and IT man. He was an extremely dedicated worker, who would never miss a day of work. He loved all his co-workers — Ken Bean, Joe P., Ed Bedard and Roxanne were just a few that he spoke of daily.
He was a friend to many, and his philosophy was that friends and family were the most important thing. Nobody should fight and not make up as life was short and you must get along. His love for his daughter was everlasting and huge — there was not a thing that he would not do for her, his Samantha.
He is survived by his wife Annie; his daughter Samantha; his mother Kay Christoni; his brother John Christoni; his nephew Logan Biscornet; and by his mother-in-law Joan Curtis. There are too many family members and friends to write. He was well loved.
He was predeceased by two of his favorite people in the world: Paul Curtis, his father-in-law, and his brother Jimmy. The deaths of those men took a hard toll on him, and he missed them dreadfully. He always said that Paul was his best friend in the world. And now he can be with them both.
Our world was a better place because of his being here in it for a short time. He will be dearly missed and never forgotten.
Rock on, Thomas — we will miss you horribly. Nothing will be the same.
Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m., on Saturday, November 9, at the Curtis-Britch-Converse-Rushford Funeral Home, at 37 Lake Road in Newport, with the Reverend Richard Whitehill officiating. Friends may call at the funeral home on November 9, from 11 a.m., until the hour of the funeral. A reception will follow at the East Side Restaurant in Newport. All are welcome.
Should friends desire, contributions in his memory may be made to the Samantha Christoni Education Fund, Passumpsic Savings Bank, P.O. Box 218, Newport, Vermont 05855.

Frederick Cornelius Kinsey
Frederick C. Kinsey, 87, of Albany, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, died on October 29, 2013, at North Country Hospital in Newport, from complications from an undiagnosed collapsed lung, which he got cutting wood.
He was born on December 18, 1925, to Frederick C. Kinsey Sr. and Geneva (Whitcher) Kinsey, at their home on the family farm in Barton. After his father left, he and his brothers, David and Bob, helped their mother run the farm. For years they ran a milk route in town. He graduated in 1944 from Barton Academy where he was in the Future Farmers of America (FFA). He even traveled to the 1946 FFA convention in St. Louis, where he was named an American Farmer. He tried to join the armed forces after graduation, but his knees and necessary farm work kept him on the home front.
He and his brother Bob were outstanding athletes at Barton Academy and both were involved in town-team baseball for years after the war. He had caddied at the Barton Country Club since his youth, and had a lifelong love of golf.
Mr. Kinsey married Louise Rowell on June 7, 1947. They soon started a farm raising chickens, and had Helen, Leland, and Blaine while on the South Albany farm. In 1952, they moved to County Road and started their dairy farm. Natalie and Kyle were born there. Brother Bob married Louise’s sister, Eunice, and also farmed, and they all ran almost joint operations for years.
Fred and Louise kept farming until 1968, and they continued to live in their home even after the animals and much of the land were sold.
Fred took a job at E.M. Brown & Son in Barton, delivering grain and building supplies, and often even unloading railroad cars of grain with a scoop shovel. He also had side businesses of lawn care in summer, cutting and selling firewood year-round, and running the family sugaring operation. When he retired from E.M. Brown, his other work only increased. As part of his lawn care, he kept the Barton Fire Department grounds, and the East Craftsbury Presbyterian Church, where he and Louise were members, and the Manse grounds, mowed and trimmed gratis.
As a young man, he had played drums in local bands at dance halls and street dances, playing his loved swing music. His musical ability led him to be a member of the church choir for much of his adult life.
Natalie and her husband, Tom, were able to take him and his family to Scotland a number of times. He was always interested in history, particularly the Civil War, in which his great-great-grandfather had fought, and been captured, and survived the steamship Sultana explosion while returning prisoners-of-war, which killed 1,900.
He was a participant in the local Civil War Roundtable, and had traveled with groups and family to many of the battlefields of that war, and the terrible prison where his ancestor had been held.
All those who knew him will miss his ready wit and smile.
Private burial in Andersonville Cemetery, where his eldest daughter, Helen, and infant son, Nolan, are also buried. A service of resurrection was held at the East Craftsbury Presbyterian Church.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Crystal Lake Falls Historical Association of Barton, of which he was a member for years; or ECHO, an anti-hunger organization, 17391 Durance Road, North Fort Meyers, Florida, 33917.
