Frederick Tiballi Credit: Courtesy Frederick Primo Tiballi, 85, of Burlington, Vt., passed away on February 10, 2026, surrounded by family. He was born on April 23, 1940, in Republic, Pa., the son of Modesta and Primo Tiballi. Fred graduated from Fort Lauderdale High School before earning his undergraduate and juris doctorate degrees from the University of Florida. He practiced law in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and Burlington, Vt., and as he said many times, being a lawyer never felt like work. Fred was kind, generous and fully embraced life. An avid reader, he was passionate about the U.S. Constitution and loved skiing, sailing Moon Shadow and playing pickleball. He was happiest riding a tractor while volunteering at New Village Farm. He leaves behind his beloved wife and caregiver, Lynne Conlong Gilson Tiballi. He also leaves behind daughter Brooke Tiballi Lochrie and husband Robert B. Lochrie III of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., (grandsons John, James and Andrew); daughter Leah Tiballi Murchie and husband G. Stewart Murchie of West Hartford, Conn., (grandchildren Gus, Sophie and Alice); son Craig Tiballi and wife Annabrooke Temple of San Francisco, Calif., (grandson Reno); and stepdaughter Lee Ann Gilson of Rome, Ga. He is survived by his sister, Florence “Mitzi” Doumar, of Pompano Beach, Fla., and his sister-in-law, Barbie Taylor, of South Kingstown, R.I. Fred, affectionately known as “Derf,” always said, “Peace and Love.” In lieu of a service, the family invites you to sign the online guest book and/or make a donation to sailbeyondcancer.org or newvillagecommunitypartners.org.
