When I think of Buddy, I think of cars, fast cars and he had the fastest metal on the streets of Hamden..1958 Chevy.. perked up! 1957s were hot but Buddy’s ’68 was up to the task against the short stroke ’57s. My uncle was Joe Hromadka Captn of the HFD and Buddy’s uncle, married to my aunt Deede Cavazuti, (sister of my mother, Jennie). The Zucchi’s lived on Dixwell down the block from Charlie Crook’s Drug store where all of us hung out. Sorry to hear this sad news… our group of hommies is getting smaller but we are left with fond memories. My sincere condolences to Buddy’s family…Dan Zucchi
Red convertible, black Impala, Dairy Queen after school. I was introduced to Buddy by Mary Ann and Walt Heashe when I was in Jr. High. Everybody loved Buddy, including me!
My condolences to his family.
Buddy and I were Homeroom classmates and I have never forgotten his kindness. While I was in Hamden for a class reunion a few years ago I started talking to a stranger in the Home Depot parking lot. He turned out to be friends with Buddy, called him on the spot, and Buddy just happened to be driving by. We had such a wonderful time talking about our happy memories. I only saw him a few time after that, during my visits to CT.. When my brother passed away a few years later Buddy was there for me. I will never forget him. May he rest in Peace.
