James Michael Flood, 71, of Ridgefield, died peacefully on Friday, February 27, 2026. James was the loving husband of Cynthia Kay (Sertich) Flood. He passed from his physical to his spiritual life, surrounded by his loving wife and three children.

James was born on December 20, 1954, the son of the late Archibald and Margaret (Cosgrove) Flood. Growing up on the Southern shores of Lake Superior, James enjoyed an idyllic childhood. Summers were short and winters were long in Duluth, Minnesota. James embraced every sport he could try, and never sat idle as the brutal winters arrived, and his hometown was buried in snow. James would lace up a pair of skates for some outdoor pick-up hockey, or grab a sled, and off he went to fully embrace winter in Minnesota. Summers were spent playing baseball, building forts in the woods, and swimming in one of Minnesota’s ten thousand lakes. He was an avid Minnesota Twins and Vikings fan, jumping at any chance he got to attend a game. He was an accomplished golfer, and in his later years, especially, he loved going out on the course to compete, with the fresh air all around him. He was a serious student, excelling both academically and athletically. A three-sport varsity athlete in high school, James received many awards for his contributions in Baseball, Football, and Basketball.

James was a team player, and that work ethic followed him through college, where he graduated Summa Cum Laude in Industrial Engineering from the University of Wisconsin- Stout, and later, in January, 1978, as he began his career as a Junior Engineer at IBM, Rochester, MN. It was there in Rochester that James enjoyed the beginning of a promising career, married his high school sweetheart, Cynthia, in August, 1978, and was a dedicated father to their three beautiful children. James worked hard, attaining many promotions and accolades in his professional life. He seamlessly balanced work and family, partaking in volunteer coaching in his children’s various athletic endeavors, supporting their academic pursuits, and just being a really great, committed Dad. He traveled the world, promoting IBM PC and Mainframe products, including the newly developed AS400. A significant highlight in James’s professional career was as a key contributor to IBM Rochester’s success during the late 80’s. James’s expertise in manufacturing and supply chain management was critical in enabling major new product announcements, and for the site receiving national recognition for quality and customer satisfaction. Perhaps of greater importance was James’s skill to foster teamwork and motivate his employees to execute their job responsibilities, doing so by always keeping respect for the individual in the forefront.

In August, 1995, James moved his family to the East Coast, as his career demands with IBM placed him in Corporate Headquarters, and later to a promotion at the Executive level. Living in Ridgefield held so many memories for James and his family. He continued with his illustrative career, but always made time for his family, coaching hockey and basketball, and being there to prepare his children for a highly competitive world. He instilled in them a work ethic that will live on forever and will be passed on through the generations of the Flood family. He was a loving, dedicated, and protective husband to Cynthia. They eagerly embraced traveling together, enjoying many trips to wonderful places, Friday night dinners out, attending Sunday Mass together, and just the quiet joy of each other’s company. James will always be remembered as adventurous, fun, and giving. He was a faithful servant of God, and a long-time parishioner of Saint Mary’s Church in Ridgefield. He prioritized God, family, and country. He had a kind heart, and a big presence everywhere he went. His smile lit up a room. As their “Grandpops”, James loved his grandchildren, joyfully following their sports and academics. They will greatly miss him.

James is survived by his wife of 47 years, Cynthia, as well as their three children: Matthew Flood and his spouse, Amanda; Christopher Flood and his spouse, Jennifer and Lauren Florendo and her spouse, Catherine. James is also survived by six grandchildren; Michael, Ava, Natalie, Kendall, Hailey and Caden James.

Family and friends will be received on Friday, March 6, 2026 from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Kane Funeral Home; 25 Catoonah Street, Ridgefield. A funeral mass will be celebrated on Saturday, March 7, 2026 at 10:00 AM in Saint Mary's Church; 55 Catoonah Street, Ridgefield. Interment will take place privately in the Spring.

Contributions in James' memory may be made to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center - PO Box 27106; New York, NY 10087, or online at https://giving.mskcc.org/.

With heavy hearts and deep sorrow, we announce the sudden passing of Douglas W. Campbell on December 26, 2025, the beloved son of the late Martha and David Campbell of Ridgefield, Connecticut.

Throughout his 55-year journey, Doug touched countless lives with his generous heart, sense of humor, and vibrant spirit. He was deeply devoted to his wife, family, and friends – a man who could strike up a conversation with anyone and make them feel seen. Driven by an insatiable curiosity and a love for new experiences, he delighted in sharing his wisdom with those around him. A true New Englander, Doug took immense pride in doing things the right way.

Doug graduated from Ridgefield High School, honorably served six years in the U.S. Navy as a helicopter rescue swimmer during Desert Storm, and later graduated magna cm laude with a double major from Boston University. He went on to help launch and lead two successful software businesses in Cambridge, MA and Hartford, CT. Like his parents, he devoted himself to community service, always striving to leave things better than he found them.

Doug was deeply loved and will be profoundly missed. His beautiful spirit lives on in the peace, strength and inspiration he leaves behind for all who had the privilege and honor of knowing him.

Doug is survived by his beloved wife Monika, of nearly 10 years, his mother-in-law Magdalena, brother-in-law Peter and his wife Katarina and their children – nephews Peter and Dominik, brother-in-law Tibor and his daughter, niece Nevena; Doug’s sister Heather, his sister Betsy and her husband Dave Imbrogno and their children – nieces Alex, Caroline, Katie, and nephew Louis.

A Celebration of Doug’s Life will be held March 21, 2026 at 11:00AM at the First Congregational Church, 103 Main Street, Ridgefield, CT 06877. For those unable to attend and wish to stream the service, see below Zoom instructions. Reception will follow at the church in Lund Hall from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM. We invite all who knew and loved Doug to join us in honoring his memory. Cremation has taken place and his interment will be held privately.

Because Doug loved nature – especially trees – a collaborative mixed media "Tree of Love" piece of art will be created in his memory. (See photo example here: Tree of Love Frosted Pearls by Cami Levin) If you feel moved to participate, please bring a small, non-perishable item (2 inches or smaller) that symbolizes your connection to Doug or reflects his spirit. Examples include but are not limited to: a small stone, shell, feather, charm, trinket, fabric snippet, miniature photo or a brief handwritten note with a meaningful word, quote, nickname, memory or blessing. Items will be permanently incorporated in the artwork and preserved in resin, so they will not be returned. Your contribution will become part of this lasting tribute – permanently woven into a shared and enduring expression of the love that surrounds Doug and the life he lived. Envelopes and note cards will be provided at the church reception to pass along your item/note to Doug’s family. If you are unable to attend in person and wish to participate, please reach out by email to coordinate with Heather at: clancampbellking@gmail.com

In lieu of flowers, please consider a memorial gift in Doug’s loving memory to the Elizabeth Park Conservancy to help preserve its historic gardens in Hartford and West Hartford, CT (http://www.elizabethparkct.org) or The Headstrong Project, a non-profit organization providing mental health care for veterans, service members and their families (http://www.theheadstrongproject.com).

Carol Ross Linfoot

February 3, 1942 – January 23, 2026

Carol Ross Linfoot, 83, passed away peacefully on Friday, January 23, 2026, after a courageous battle with Parkinsonian dementia. She was surrounded by her two children their spouse, and her grandchildren.

Born in Albany, New York, she was the daughter of Archibald Laird Ross and Katharine (Kay) Ross. In 1946, the family moved to Brazil and Costa Rica, where Carol discovered her love of languages, becoming fluent in Spanish. After grade school, her family returned to Pennsylvania, where Carol graduated from Radnor High School in Radnor, PA.

During her senior year of high school, Carol sang with an all-female quartet, “The Devonaire’s,” releasing songs through Devon Records — “Indian Summer” (Devon, 1960) and “Letters From You” (Devon, 1960), which have been archived by The South Philly Record in Philadelphia to preserve the music of that era. They can be enjoyed on YouTube today. Music was not just a hobby for Carol; it was a lifelong joy that continued into her later years, including performing with the Chester Choral Society. Her favorite performance was Handel’s Messiah during the holidays.

She attended the University of Colorado in Boulder for nursing until she met the love of her life, Benjamin, and decided to get married.

With her love of languages, she later pursued a career in linguistics, earning her master’s degree while raising her young family. She graduated with a Master’s in Applied Linguistics from Queens College, City University of New York, in 1985. On many occasions, her children were part of her lesson plans, filling out worksheets on grammar and punctuation while discussing her teaching plans for the week.

Carol was predeceased by her beloved husband, Benjamin Rastall Linfoot, who passed away from cancer in 1999. She is survived by her two children, Tracy Kincaid and Kendle Arcidiacono (Tony). She was also the proud grandmother of Allison Arcidiacono and Ashley Arcidiacono, who were her pride and joy.

She is also survived by her beloved siblings, Katharine Cole, Robin Schoen and her brother John Ross (predeceased).

With her husband Ben by her side, both were deeply committed to their church community at St. Asaph’s. Over the years, they served in many capacities, including vestry, choir, and coordinating holiday events. Following Ben’s passing, Carol remained active at St. Asaph’s, serving on the Altar Guild and hosting dinners and coffee hour. St. Asaph’s always held a special place in her heart — it is where Carol and Ben exchanged vows and where their two daughters were baptized and married.

She will be remembered for her love of all sports — especially her love of tennis — and for the simple joys that filled her days: games of Scrabble and Mahjong with friends, gatherings with her Spanish and Garden Clubs, and faithfully completing her daily New York Times crossword puzzle.

Carol served as Assistant Director of the English Language Academy at Harcum College in Bryn Mawr, PA, from 1989 to 2012, when she retired. She will be remembered for her love of teaching and her kindness to her students through the years.

She was a class act whose politeness and kind demeanor will live on forever in her family and in all who knew her.

Funeral Arrangements: Saturday, March 28, 10:00 A.M. Service, St. Asaph’s Church; 27 Conshohocken State Road, Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004 Burial to follow at 11:30 A.M. at West Laurel Hill Cemetery, Bala Cynwyd, PA.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in memory of Carol Ross Linfoot to The Michael J. Fox Foundation to support Parkinson’s research.

Marie-Claude (Mico) Raebiger July 10, 1941 – February 26, 2026

Mico Raebiger, a beloved mother, wife, friend, educator and longtime resident of Ridgefield, Connecticut, passed away peacefully on Thursday, February 26, 2026.

Born on July 10, 1941, in Brezolles, France, Mico grew up in post-World War II Normandy. She shared a profound bond with her dearly loved father, who instilled in her a fascination for travel. Driven by a desire to see the world, she became a flight attendant for TWA. It was during this adventurous chapter of her life that she met her husband, Otto R. Raebiger, a pilot for TWA. The couple married and settled in Ridgefield, Connecticut, where they raised their two daughters.

A proud dual citizen, world traveler and India enthusiast, Mico spoke French, English, German, and Spanish. She shared her love of language and culture as a French teacher at Ridgefield High School and through private tutoring. To her students, she was far more than a teacher; she was a dedicated, straight-speaking mentor who fostered long-lasting relationships. She developed close, enduring ties with her former colleagues, especially those in the Foreign Language Department, who became close friends.

Mico’s life was defined by her sharp intellect, strong character, frankness, cultural awareness and boundless generosity. A gifted painter, hands-on gardener and upholstery hobbyist, she was an avid reader and a phenomenal cook (despite herself) whose fruit tarts were legendary. She found endless inspiration in classical music and opera.

Mico was a cherished member of St. Elizabeth Seton Church, where she became a "second mother" to the parish priests. She was a softie with a hard shell, and her warmth knew no borders, touching lives deeply in both the United States and France. Living her belief that family runs deeper than blood, Mico was a surrogate mother, grandmother, and fiercely loyal friend to countless individuals, leaving an extraordinary and enduring legacy on everyone fortunate enough to know her.

Mico is survived by her devoted husband, Otto R. Raebiger; her loving daughters, Marcelline (Mimiche) Tonsing and her husband Christopher, and Debbie Marty and her husband Arnaud; her four cherished grandchildren, Cole Kochan, Ryan Kochan, Noé Marty, and Tess Marty; and her dear sisters, Christiane Boutisseau and Jocelyne Mengue.

The family wishes to extend their deepest, most special thanks to Mico’s friends and family in both the United States and France for their selfless care, love, and support especially during her final months.

A funeral mass will be held at St. Elizabeth Seton Church in Ridgefield on Thursday, March 19, at 11:00 A.M. There will be no calling hours and interment will take place privately. Kane Funeral Home is in care of arrangements.

Glen John Pierandri, 77, of Brookfield, born and raised in Ridgefield, died on Thursday, February 5, 2026, at Danbury Hospital surrounded by his family.

Glen was born at Danbury Hospital on July 24, 1948, the first (and only) son of Torquinio "T.J./Turk" and Helen (D**e) Pierandri.

He attended Ridgefield schools and graduated from Ridgefield High School with the Class of 1966. In high school, Glen played basketball, ran cross-country and was known for his tremendous rhythm for dancing.

A resident of Brookfield for the past five years, Glen enjoyed spending time with his family; lounging in the pool, helping with flower and vegetable gardens, tending to the chickens, golfing, watching a good movie, fishing in Rhode Island, a good firepit, burger, and a beer, and telling stories about his world travels when he was a younger working man.

He is survived by his daughters, Nicole Flynn and her husband Sean, Courtney Pierandri and her husband David and Micah Pierandri, five sisters, Joyce Pierandri, Vicki Morgan and her husband Herb, Helen Cehanowicz (and her late husband Walter), Lynn Morgan and her husband Richard, Barbara Rickert and her husband Paul.

Along with being predeceased by his father, T.J. and his mother, Helen, Glen was predeceased by the love of his life, Marcella Sonier Pierandri. We know they are together again laughing and making up for lost time. We will miss his laugher, his “hey kiddo” and “there she is!” greetings and the simple kind and true gentleman he was and will aways be remembered as.

Friends will be received in the Kane Funeral Home, 25 Catoonah St., Ridgefield on Saturday, February 28, 2026, from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM.
