Obituary for Jesse Gregory Fodero
Jesse G. Fodero, of Nashua, NH died on Monday February 3, 2020.
He was born December 6, 1933 in Buffalo, New York. Son of the late Giovanni and Corona (Nero) Fodero, and the loving husband of Jane Fodero, of Nashua, NH.
He attended Bishop Timon High School and served in the United States Air Force from 1952 to 1956. He was stationed in Tripoli Libya and received the National Defense Service Medal. Upon returning home, he married Jane on October 20th, 1956 at Fourteen Holy Helpers church in West Seneca, NY. Jesse worked in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as an Air Traffic Controller in Virginia and Buffalo. He progressed in his career as an automation specialist in Oklahoma City, OK and in the New England Regional Center in Nashua, NH. He retired from the FAA in 1988 and started a 33-year career improving the houses of friends and family, and fixing anything that needed it.
Together, Jesse and Jane formed scores of strong and lasting friendships in every chapter of their dynamic life together. Jesse’s one-of-a-kind personality, bounding with energy, humor, and endless generosity, is sure to have brought a smile to everyone he met during his daily travels.
