In Memoriam	James R. Chittick	7/5/2026
"Well done, good and faithful servant." - Matthew 25:23 There are some lives measured not merely by years, but by the countless hearts they strengthen, the roads they travel, and the faith they quietly live. Such was the life of James Rollie Chittick, lovingly known as Jim, who entered this world on May 23, 1939, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and peacefully departed this life on July 5, 2026, in Greenville, North Carolina, surrounded by the promise of eternal life in Christ. Jim lived with an unwavering Christian faith. He met every sunrise with gratitude, every challenge with courage, and every blessing with humility. He believed that life was a gift from God, meant to be lived with purpose, service, and love. His journey was one of steadfast devotion-to his Savior, his family, his country, and every community fortunate enough to know him. Above all else, Jim cherished his family. He was the beloved husband of Janet Chittick, the love of his life and faithful companion. Their story began with music at Norwich University, where Jim, standing behind his saxophone during a school dance, caught Janet's eye with a playful wink. That simple moment blossomed into a lifetime of devotion, adventure, laughter, and enduring love. Together they traveled America by motorcycle, RV, and even 18-wheeler, collecting memories as faithfully as others collect photographs. Jim was the proud father of James, John, and Joyce, and he lovingly carried the memory of his son David, who preceded him in death, always holding him close within his heart. His greatest joy continued through the generations. He delighted in his five grandchildren-Brandon, Zoey, Joshua, Jordan, and Lena-and treasured the laughter of his five great-grandchildren-Forrest, Carter, Jamie, Faye, and Violet. He is also lovingly remembered by his sister, Stephanie, along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends whose lives were forever enriched by his kindness and steady example. Jim's life reflected discipline, determination, and an unwavering pursuit of excellence. After graduating from William Hall High School in West Hartford, Connecticut, he attended Norwich University in Vermont, earning honors with a degree in Business Administration. He later completed his Master of Business Administration at the University of Maine and was inducted into Beta Gamma Sigma, recognizing both his academic excellence and outstanding character. Education laid the foundation, but service defined his life. As an Officer in the United States Army, serving as an Airborne Ranger, Jim embraced the values of courage, honor, and sacrifice that would guide every chapter that followed. His military service remained a lifelong source of pride, reflected in the Ranger creed he carried in both word and deed: "Rangers Lead the Way." Following his military career, Jim became Vice President of Logistics for Hathaway Shirt Company in Waterville, Maine, where his leadership and integrity earned deep respect. Yet his entrepreneurial spirit refused to stand still. Throughout his life he successfully owned and operated a destination lodge, a Hallmark store, invested in real estate, renovated properties, and pursued every opportunity with enthusiasm and determination. Teaching became another meaningful chapter of his life. He served as an adjunct professor of Logistics at the University of Nevada, Reno, and later taught Statistics at Mount Olive University in North Carolina. Whether standing before a classroom, leading a business, or helping customers as manager of Sunshine ACE Hardware in Naples, Florida, Jim found fulfillment in encouraging others to grow. Faith remained the constant thread woven through every season of his life. Jim faithfully served as a mission volunteer in Costa Rica, was a devoted Stephen Ministry Leader, and found great joy worshiping at Bridgeton Methodist Church, where Thursday morning Bible studies with his son John became treasured moments of fellowship and faith. His commitment to service extended throughout his community. Jim served as Past Master of Carrabassett Masonic Lodge No. 161 in Canaan, Maine, and was a member of the former Sudan Shriners Temple through St. John's Lodge in New Bern, North Carolina. These organizations reflected the same principles that defined his life-brotherhood, charity, integrity, and service to others. Adventure called to Jim throughout his life, and he answered with enthusiasm. He loved skiing the slopes of Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine and eventually became President of the National Ski Patrol of Maine, combining his love of the outdoors with his instinct to protect and serve. Mountain climbing, hiking, camping, and exploring God's creation filled him with wonder. Among his most treasured memories was hiking a portion of the Appalachian Trail with his son John and grandsons Joshua and Brandon-a journey that became more than miles beneath their feet. It became a legacy passed from one generation to the next. His love of travel led him on unforgettable adventures with his son James, including a trip to Germany to visit his grandson serving in the United States Air Force and a return to Alaska, where Jim had once been stationed as a young Army officer. His daughter Joyce inherited his encouragement and belief in pursuing one's dreams, and through his unwavering support she fulfilled her own by performing on Broadway. Jim's curiosity knew few limits. In various seasons of life he became a taxidermist, school bus driver, shuttle chauffeur, businessman, teacher, outdoorsman, mentor, and friend. Whatever the task before him, he approached it with diligence, humility, and joy. Those who knew Jim will remember a man whose strength was never loud but always present. He was courageous without seeking recognition. He was loving without condition. He was adventurous without fear. His life quietly demonstrated that true leadership begins with service, true wisdom begins with humility, and true greatness begins with faith. Jim leaves behind a legacy impossible to measure. It lives in the family he loved so completely, in the students he inspired, in the communities he faithfully served, and in every life made stronger simply because he walked beside them. As Robert Frost wisely wrote, "In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on." For those who loved Jim, life indeed goes on-but forever changed by the gift of having known him. His earthly journey has reached its destination, but his faith has become sight. His race has been run, his work completed, and his eternal home secured through Jesus Christ. May we honor his memory by living with the same courage, serving with the same humility, loving with the same steadfastness, and walking with the same unwavering faith. Until we meet again. "RANGERS LEAD THE WAY."

He was graduated from Norwich University of Vermont in 1966, where he majored in English and earned a degree in Liberal Arts.

In 1971, he married his sweetheart, Juanita Racette of Dannemora, who was an English teacher at Beekmantown Central School. They were married for 54 years and had two children. A child of the '50s, Charlie became enamored of the fledgling music scene which merged the new rock 'n' roll of Elvis et. al. with the previous decade of pop stars. The fascination never ended, as he took up trumpet and guitar, especially in college, playing trumpet in a marching band and a concert band, and guitar in dance band and rock bands. Later, while teaching, he began a 35-year career with three Plattsburgh radio stations: WKDR AM - 1970-83, WCFE FM - 1991-96, and WIRY 1340 AM - 1997-2017, producing music programs of pop, rock, and country for all three. While at 'KDR, he followed in the footsteps of the DJs of the '50s and '60s doing record hops on both sides of the Plattsburgh Airbase, later expanding to the communities of Rouses Point, Swanton, and St. Albans. His love of music and of working with young people lead him to claim he'd "never had a job [he] didn't love." In 2009, Charlie once again picked up the guitar with his friends John Kains, John Champagne, and Erin Keefe for the country band Split Rock. Charlie is survived by his wife Juanita, who was the love of his life, his children Elizabeth of Chicago and Christopher (Claire) of San Antonio; two sisters-in-law, Susan (David) Hurd of Morrisonville, and Karen (Gary) Duncan of Plattsburgh; two brothers-in law, Richard Racette (the late Cynthia) of Buffalo and James (Wendy) Racette of Boston; and 5 nieces and nephews.

In Memoriam	Melissa A. Bowler	3/2/2026
Melissa Ann (Missy) Bowler, 70, of Pittsfield, died March 2, 2026 at Berkshire Medical Center after a short illness. Born in Pittsfield on December 10, 1955, the daughter of the late Thomas E. Bowler and Annita Blondin Bowler, Missy attended local schools and was a 1973 graduate of Taconic High School. She attended Vermont College, graduating in 1975 with an associate's degree in Sport's Management. In 1989, Missy received a degree in Religious Studies from Abilene Christian University. An outstanding high school and college athlete, Missy began her sports career in Pittsfield at the Skyline Country Club in Lanesboro and as a ski instructor at Bousquet's Ski Area. On Dec. 28, 1978, Missy suffered an arterial brain bleed that led to emergency brain surgery followed by a long road back to independence. Though she would spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair, Missy transitioned all her strength into a new career as a relentless advocate for those with disabilities. A decade before the Americans with Disabilities Act was established in 1990, Missy was a familiar sight throughout Pittsfield in her wheelchair and motorized scooter, calling for ramps to be added to public buildings and curb cuts throughout city streets. She was one of the founding members of AdLib, a local agency that provided resources and support for individuals with disabilities, and worked there for many years. She also served on the City of Pittsfield's Commission on Disabilities, where she continued her advocacy for inclusion for all. Following her retirement from AdLib, Missy began her second career as a dedicated volunteer, serving many agencies including RSVP, the Ralph Froio Senior Center and United Cerebral Palsy. Missy was devoted to her church, the Pittsfield Church of Christ on Valentine Road, where she served as Treasurer for many years and was among the leaders of the church's efforts to help feed the poor through its Giving Garden. Missy cherished the Pittsfield Church of Christ and its wonderful, caring members who were central to her life. She was an avid gardener at her own home, growing vegetables and flowers in raised beds that were accessible in her wheelchair. All throughout the summer months, Missy could be found on her hands and knees, crawling around her yard to tend to flowers that were not in her raised beds. Her backyard was lovely and was once among the stops on the annual Garden Tour to showcase what could be achieved by gardening from a wheelchair. Despite devastating disabilities that included not being able to walk or see very well at all, Missy spent her life in service to her community. In turn, her community loved her. Among the many large and small miracles of her life, whenever Missy's wheelchair or scooter malfunctioned while she was out and about, or when she needed a hand, someone was always right around the corner to save the day. She is survived by her six siblings; Linda Corridan of Holliston, Donna Mattoon of Canaan, NY, Thomas Bowler (Dayle) of Pittsfield, Mary Murphy (Stephen) of Pittsfield, Cindy Dombek (Jack) of The Villages, FL, and David Bowler (Laura) of Pittsfield; 21 nieces and nephews; 23 great nieces and nephews, and her cousins. Missy also leaves many dear friends who greatly enriched her life, including Jean Haywood and Anne Brennan, with whom she had weekly dinners for more than 30 years. FUNERAL NOTICE: Visitation at the Dery Funeral Home will be Friday, March 13, 2026 from 4-6PM. Burial will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Missy's name to the Pittsfield Church of Christ, and mailed to the funeral home at 54 Bradford St. Pittsfield, MA 01201.

In Memoriam	Peter L. Connelly	4/7/2026
Peter Lawrence Connelly, age 63, of Lorton, Virginia, a 28-year Army combat veteran, passed away peacefully at INOVA Alexandria Hospital on Tuesday, April 7th, 2026 surrounded by his family. Pete was born on March 13, 1963 in Natick, Massachusetts to Lawrence B. Connelly and Virginia B. Connelly. He proudly achieved the rank of Eagle Scout, a testament to his dedication, leadership, and commitment to serving others. He was also an accomplished cross country runner where he was affectionately known as Rabbit. Pete graduated from Dover-Sherborn High School, MA in 1981. He then attended Norwich University, VT, earning a commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in the U.S. Army upon graduation in 1985. Pete's first duty assignment brought him to the Republic of Korea, where he met his beloved wife of 39 years, Hyun Hui Connelly. From the time he was 9 years old, Pete knew he wanted to be a member of the Army Special Forces, following in the legacy of his cousin, Paul King, Jr., who served as a Private First Class in the Army Special Forces during the war in Vietnam. Peter accomplished this goal when he graduated as a Special Forces Soldier in 1991. Pete served honorably for 28 years in several different duty assignments throughout the U.S. and the world, culminating in six combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, where he earned the Bronze Star for service. He retired from the Army a full Colonel in April 2013, and then accepted a position as a U.S. Army civilian working for various agencies in the Pentagon and Fort Belvoir. In addition to his distinguished service to the U.S. Army, Pete was a certified financial planner, working for Edward D. Jones & Fidelity Investments. His expert opinion was valued by the hundreds of followers of his financial blog. Since retirement, Pete enjoyed taking care of his small farm and sawmill, and could often be seen riding around on his tractor, planting crops, maintaining fruit trees and blueberry bushes, taking care of chickens and bees, milling lumber and cultivating the land with devotion. An adventurous and tenacious person, Peter had many stages and accomplishments in his life -- student, solider, husband, father, leader, hobby farmer -- and, from each stage, he collected many loving friends and mentors. No matter what community he was involved in, throughout his life he was known for his precocious sense of humor, absolute loyalty, and steadfastness throughout any challenge. Pete had the ability to brighten the room with his energy, laughter, and quick wit, and he shared his joviality with everyone who crossed his path. He was generous with everything that he had, most notably his spirit, time, energy, and love. Pete volunteered his time to many charity organizations throughout his life, such as the Wounded Warriors Project, Serve Our Willing Warriors, and Boy Scouts of America. Also, in the past year, Pete attended Buddhist services with his wife and daughter multiple times a week, and quickly built a deep and special friendship with the monks of HanMaum Seon (Zen) Center in Burke, VA. Pete often said that his children were his life's work, and his compassion, supportiveness and devotion made him a remarkable husband, father and grandfather. Pete is survived by his beautiful wife, Hyun Hui Connelly of Lorton, VA; his son, Jack Connelly of Burke, VA; daughter Sarah Connelly of Lorton, VA; two grandchildren, Archer and Ezra of Burke, VA; as well as his siblings, Marc Connelly (Paula), Susan Connelly Rose (Ed), and Amy Dawson (Bill). Also surviving are his nieces and nephews, cousins, and friends. Peter was preceded in death by his parents, Virginia and Lawrence Connelly; sister, Melissa Connelly White; niece, Emily Dawson, and his daughter-in-law, Jessie Lee Ede Connelly. A lunch reception will be held from 11-1:00pm on Sunday, April 19th at Fairfax Memorial Funeral Home in Fairfax, Virginia. A Funeral Service will follow at 12:30pm. His burial with full military honors will be held at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, VA at a later stage, likely in Spring of 2028. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that memorial donations be made to a 529 account for Archer's and Ezra's college educations.

In Memoriam	Angus M. Hodgson	9/11/2025
A proud member of the Norwich University Class of 1975, Angus dedicated his life to service, honor, and community. Over the years, he served as a volunteer firefighter, police officer, and sheriff's deputy, and later shared his knowledge as a weapons and tactics instructor. His commitment to protecting others and his sense of duty defined his life's work. His career as an instructor took him around the world, where he trained and advised security teams across diverse and often challenging environments. Angus relished the adventure and discovery that came with travel-immersing himself in new cultures, forming lasting friendships, and finding purpose wherever he went. One of his favorite stories to tell was from his time training guards in Afghanistan. At the age of 55, he found himself in a war zone, under fire, and thriving amidst the danger and chaos. He spoke of it often, not to boast, but to share his deep belief in meeting challenges head-on and living life with courage. In retirement, Angus turned to writing, crafting fiction novels inspired by his own remarkable experiences. Through storytelling, he found yet another way to pass on lessons of resilience, adventure, and honor. Angus was also known for his deep affection for his loyal Border Collies, Ceana and Rory, whose constant companionship brought him great joy and laughter through his later years. Above all, Angus was a devoted father of two and a deeply proud grandfather. His adventurous spirit and unwavering integrity live on in his son, his daughter, and his first grandson. Angus will be remembered not only for his service, but also for the love, laughter, and stories-both lived and written-that he passed down to family and friends. A memorial celebrating Angus's life will be held April 18th, 2026, from 1 PM-5 PM, at 3154 CR 7711, Natalia, Texas 78059 (Approximately 45 minutes Southwest of the San Antonio, Texas Airport.
