Today our City lost a great community advocate in John “Johnnie” Britto.

For over 60 years, Mr. Britto served the community as a mentor and friend to countless young people that came into the Fox Point Boys and Girls Club.

I extend my sympathies to his wife Eufemia Britto, his children, and grandchildren. His loss will be felt by many in the Fox Point community.

On behalf of the City Council we wish his family peace during this difficult time.

Sabina Matos, President

Providence City Council

Councilwoman – Ward 15
