He attended the Immaculate Conception School, and was a member of Everett High School’s Class of 1967. He graduated from Bryant & Stratton Business School in 1969, and then began his career at the Whidden Memorial Hospital where he met his wife Joan Wickens LaVecchio, R.N. to whom he has been married for 46 years. Jimmy recently retired after 50 years of service to both the patients and his beloved colleagues at the hospital. “I am proud to have spent my entire career dedicated to the vision of Georgia Whidden which was to serve all members of the community at a vital institution in our city’s history,” LaVecchio said. “I hope to continue this service as a Councillor-at-Large by representing all residents and voicing their concerns because they deserve a government that understands their daily struggles.” Jimmy and Joan also raised their son, James Jr., in the fam$12 James “Jimmy” LaVecchio Candidate for Councillor-at-Large ily home where they continue to reside today.
