04/01/10 Homeless Greenwich Farmer Del Zannette Passed Away Last Night

Some of Del Zannette's former neighbors have reported that long time Greenwich Farmer Del Zannette died last night.

Greenwich Roundup just saw the homeless farmer Tuesday using the red phone at First Selectman Peter Tesei's office in an effort to get some of his property out of storage,

Mr. Zannette was not invited into Mr Tesei's office, nor was he referred to the Social Services office on third floor of town hall.

The homeless Greenwich farmer was 80 years old and still owned 50% of the farm that he was not allowed to live at.

Rest In Peace Delmo Zannette

This is a sad day for a town that has no pity for the elderly, disabled, disadvantaged, poor and homeless.

When are we going to start treating the common folk of Greenwich the same way we treat the bankers and hedge funds guys.

PLEASE SEE HOW THE TOWN IS PLANNING

TO HURT OTHER EVEN MORE ELDERLY RESIDENTS:
