Ontario:  At age 69, Souly passed away on Wednesday, December 30, 2020 at Rochester General Hospital.  Souly was predeceased by his brother; Viengchanh Kettavong.  Survived by his beloved wife of 40 years Phouang Ketavongsa, his children: Lani (Robert) Paxon, Jannene Ketavongsa, Noi (Chris) Souvanna, Souly Ketavongsa Jr., his sister; Kolakhane Ketavongsa, his sister-in-law, Saysamone Kettavong, his 11 grandchildren and his grand furbaby, along with several nieces, and nephews, and friends.

Souly Ketavongsa was born in Sannahket in Southern Laos to the late Keua and Chanhtha Ketavongsa.  As a young adult, Souly was a medic in the army fighting against the Communist Party in the 1970’s.  In 1978, he migrated to the United States of American through the Methodist Church sponsorship.  With barely $3.00 in his pocket, he entered America and walked off the plane in his flip-flops and an enormous smile.  His greatest ambition was to bring his siblings and their family in Laos to the United States.

In 1980, Souly met his loving and devoted wife of forty years.  Following their marriage, he and his bride built a family and filled their home with love.  The father of five spent his entire life sacrificing and supporting his children and extended family, which included celebrating life milestones and anniversaries.  Souly was an outdoor enthusiast who enjoyed hunting and fishing.  In the fall, he appreciated scenic drives through the countryside of New York to view the changing color of the leaves.

There are many things for which Souly will be remembered.  To his colleagues he was a hardworking and industrious man.  He was never afraid of getting his hands dirty and the first coworker to offer a helping hand.  To his family Souly was an unassuming, easygoing, and a humble human being who was content with the simplest things in life.  For the past few days, we all have despaired at our loss, however, the power of his love and the significance of his life afford us comfort and the strength to move forward and to honor his legacy.

Nov. 6, 1956 – Dec. 18, 2020

Conesus:  Miché Fambro (known to his family and close friends as Mick) died much too soon on Dec. 18, 2020 after battling cancer.  He is survived by his wife, Wendy; daughters, Michael (Gerald Swanson) and Naomi; and granddaughters, Leona and Marqui Swanson Fambro.  Miché is also survived by his mother, Vivian McCord; siblings, Pat Fambro, Greg James and Angie McCord; many other cherished extended family members; his puppet, Newton, and his beloved guitar(s.)

Born in Philadelphia, Miché discovered the guitar in his early teens and almost immediately began gathering neighborhood friends to create music.  He was a natural arranger and bandleader, and due to being a lefty, he was also self-taught.  Not knowing any differently, young Mick just flipped the guitar over and his unique sound was born.  He left Philadelphia in 1979 to join a hotel band that toured the US.  Many gigs later, the band played a show in Geneseo, NY, and Miché decided to quit touring and stay for a while.  As it turned out, he met his wife in that small town and it became home.

Miché’s fans date back to his first Geneseo band, The Deserters, and then expanded with the birth of his very popular group, Miché and the Anglos.  Eventually, Miché moved into his solo career which he described as “recreating the energy of a band with a single instrument and voice.”  Being a fulltime, professional musician was a challenging road but ultimately brought him into venues throughout the US, Canada and Europe.  His online fanbase reaches around the world, and Miché earned a reputation for being a “breath of fresh air” with his original, intricate, compelling performances and his humble, humorous, self-effacing presence.  He was joy.  He was magic.

Behind the scenes was a loving, supportive family who were blessed to have Miché Fambro creating the soundtrack for their lives.  Wendy, Michael and Naomi want nothing more than to have people continue to discover and enjoy the music and videos that Miché created in his all-too-brief sojourn on this earth.

Please visit his YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/user/mfambro

Download his music at: https://michefambro.bandcamp.com

A public celebration of Miche’s life and legacy will be held after COVID-19 restrictions are lifted.

Donations in memory of Miche Fambro may be made to Immanuel Baptist Church of Rochester, NY: online – www.immanuelrochester.org, or by check – 815 Park Ave., Rochester NY  14607.
