Guido Victor Ciampi

-

Guido Victor Ciampi, age 93 of Greenwich, CT passed away on the morning of November 2, 2019 at his home. A kind and gentle soul to all who knew him, he lived a truly full and blessed life. Having worked his entire life in the meat business, starting at the age of 12 as a delivery boy in Bronx, NY, he went on to own and operate three gourmet stores in Westcheste­r County for over 53 years, and would retire in 2010 at age 85. His most beloved store “The Larchmont Meateria” located in Larchmont, New York was the pride and joy of his life. He was known as the ‘Meat-Man to the Stars’ with notable celebritie­s as his customers. Victor’s kindness to children was unparallel­ed and he made sure no child left his store without a gift of a cookie. The food business, family, laughter, a positive attitude, and chocolate ice cream was his life.

For 71 years Guido Victor Ciampi was married to Marie

DiStefano Ciampi. His children, Debra Ciampi Kolman of Greenwich, CT, Steven Ciampi of Princes Risborough, England, and Joan Ciampi of Lexington, Kentucky, as well as his grandchild­ren, Thomas Ciampi, Sofia Ciampi, and William Kolman will always love and remember him for his simple kindness and extraordin­ary compassion for others. He truly was our angel.
