In Memoriam David A. Anderson 11/30/2025  
David "Dave" Alden Anderson, 83, formerly of West Boylston and most recently Auburn, Mass., passed away peacefully Sunday, November 30, 2025.

Dave was born in Worcester on February 19, 1942, the son of the late J. Philippe and Anna (Lof) Peterson. Following graduation from West Boylston High School in 1960, he earned his Bachelor's degree from Norwich University of Northfield, Vermont, in 1965; later, he earned a Masters of Business Administration from the University of Detroit Mercy in Michigan.

Dave and his family spent much of their time living in New Hampshire and Michigan as he worked for a number of companies, including the Norton Company, Xerox Corporation, Eastman Kodak, and Honeywell. His career culminated as a Senior Account Executive at the Digital Corporation.

Dave was a proud U.S. Army veteran. He served during the Vietnam War and then in the Army Reserves, where he retired as a Lieutenant Colonel. In retirement, he volunteered as a Region Adjutant and Treasurer for the Military Order of the World Wars (MOWW). For many years he also served as the Commander of the MOWW Worcester Chapter. Additionally, Dave was a Quartermaster Assistant of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts, frequently traveling to Boston for meetings and to many countries as an ambassador of goodwill. He also supported numerous ROTC and NROTC programs.

Volunteering was an integral part of who Dave was. He learned this first-hand from his mom who translated musical scores into braille for the Library of Congress. Other organizations he supported were the Aleppo Shriners (with his mini parade car), VASA Order of America, Norwich University where he was an active alumnus, and many other organizations.

A well-known extrovert with many friends, he could and would talk with anyone - whether they wanted to or not - and was never shy to introduce himself and start a conversation. Being a well-read person, Dave could discuss virtually any issue with knowledge and authority. Also known as "Whitey" because of his platinum blond hair, Dave was well known for his antics, with his yearbook calling him a gregarious joker and "detention room patron" who nevertheless still came across as "strictly Ivy League." His yearbook went on to claim, "On the sixth day, 'Whitey' was created, and on the seventh, the Lord had to rest."

He loved self-directed investing, giving welcome - though sometimes unsolicited - advice to any who would listen, good food with family, playing golf, watching football, charitable giving, and vacationing at his "hooch" on Squam Lake. He never met a dog he didn't like. He adored travel and was a self-professed "driving fool" who enjoyed getting in his car and going any distance. He saw the entire United States (a lifelong goal of his) and visited numerous countries. He continued to travel and take cruises into his eighties.

Dave is survived by his two sons, Brent and his wife, Kimberly, of Moultonborough, NH; Erik and his wife, Charlotte Nuanes, of Silver Lake, NH (deployed to Warsaw, Poland). He was predeceased by his daughter Kristen. He was so incredibly proud of his seven grandchildren: Matthew, Charles, Katherine, Brendan, Declan, Willa, and Tyler; and four great grandchildren.

He will be greatly missed by his family and lifelong friends, Wolfgang Bauer and Dave Lacilla.

A celebration of life for Dave will be privately held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations in Dave's honor to the Perkins School for the Blind in Watertown, Mass., the oldest school for the blind in the United States (perkins.org).

In Memoriam Joseph E. Hatch 11/5/2025  
Joseph Ernest Hatch, 60, of Salem New Hampshire, peacefully passed away at his home on Wednesday November 5, 2025, after a long illness with Early-Onset Alzheimer's Disease. He was surrounded with peace, love and music by his family and friends.

Joe was born on April 4, 1965 to Faith C. (Wilson) and Paul Hatch, Sr. He was raised in Concord, NH, began his educational journey at Dame School, followed by Concord High School. He furthered his education at Norwich University in Vermont and earned his bachelor's degree in math. Norwich University set the foundation for his diverse professional life and interests.

Joe first learned the art of sheet metal craftsmanship from his father and brothers at his father's company called Hatch Sheet Metal (formerly L.G. Hatch and Sons). Joseph became a Master sheet metal craftsman through his work at Macy Industry and later at Metro Sign and Awning. He chose to put his career on hold upon the birth of his daughter, Mikayla, in order to care for her complex medical needs and disabilities. During this time Joe became an advocate for families and individuals who experience disabilities. He defended their needs and rights through the Parent Information Center, and testified in front of the NH State Legislature advocating for both educational and community needs. In Salem, NH, Joe started an educational support group for families of school age children with disabilities who were living with the challenge of maneuvering through the school system maze. After caring for his daughter, Joe became a skilled mathematician teaching math at Amesbury High School, and he taught inner city high school students at the Match Tutor Program in Lawrence, Massachusetts. His passion for teaching and helping others also led him to tutor local high school students and teach a manufacturing processes class at Nashua Community College.

Joe was introduced to the love of his life and soulmate, Karen, by his best friend Jim who, ironically, was Karen's brother. They shared an everlasting love and subsequently married. They were then blessed with the birth of their daughter Mikayla. During their lifetime of love, Joe enjoyed a variety of interests that brought joy to his life. He was an avid and enthusiastic karaoke singer, and he loved live music concerts with friends. He was an adventurous snowmobiler who started and led the infamous "Sled Viking Crew". Additionally, he was a passionate cook and was always eager to explore new recipes and flavors. He loved dining out with his friends and especially loved chocolate and double fudge brownie chocolate Tillamook ice cream. Please think of him when you eat it. He enjoyed weekly cigar nights with his friends, and he was known as Mr. Fix-It to his family and friends who he was always willing to help. Over the years he created beautiful metal art pieces for his daughter.

Joe is survived by his wife, Karen, of 28 years, his daughter Mikayla, his brothers Paul Hatch, Jr. (wife Diane), Jerry (wife Joan), Jon (wife Deb), his sister Christina Marden (husband Brian), sister-in-law Dawn, brothers-in-law Russell and Gerry Carney Jim Carney, Steven and Gladys Carney, Tracy Thibodeau, Dan Carney (wife Michelle), and Stephan Bastrzycki (wife Donna), Uncle Billy and Aunt Pat, many nieces, nephews, cousins, and lifelong friends. In addition to his parents Paul and Faith, Joe was predeceased by his brother Robert Hatch and his infant brother Jeffrey Hatch.

During his journey with Alzheimer's, Joe continued to pass his legacy on by publicly sharing his personal story and doing an ad campaign for the State of NH. He also appeared in a video about healthy aging and caregiving for New Futures, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization in New Hampshire that advocates for policy changes to improve the health and wellness of state residents. He provided testimony to the NH legislature, which led to additional funding for respite care. His advocacy and testimony helped build awareness of the importance of early detection of Alzheimer's and that of healthy aging. Joe's generosity extended beyond his lifetime with the donation of his brain to Brigham and Women's Donation Hub in Boston, MA to aid in finding a cure for Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative brain disorders.

Joe's dedication to his craft, family, friends, country and disability community were evident in his commitment and integrity. Joe leaves a legacy of kindness, humility, compassion and love. He was a devoted and loving husband and best friend to Karen, and a devoted father to Mikayla. Joe was a model human being and will remain in the hearts of all the lives he touched.

Joe's family would like to extend their heartfelt appreciation to the nurses and caregivers from Amedysis Hospice, Home Instead and the many caregivers from his family, friends and community who helped support Joe throughout his illness.

Calling hours will be held on Sunday November 16, 2025 from 11AM-1PM with a funeral service beginning at 1 pm at the Carrier Family Funeral Home & Crematory, 38 Range Road Windham NH 03087.

In Memoriam Daniel T. Krusz 11/27/2025  
KRUSZ, DANIEL of Dedham and Norwood passed away on November 27, 2025 at the age of 56. Devoted father of Sophie Anne Krusz of Norwood. Son of the late Robert G. Sr. and Doris (Troy) Krusz. Brother of David E. Krusz and his wife Faith of Dedham, Eileen "Dolly" Krusz and her longtime companion Mark Lorenzetti of W. Roxbury, and the late Robert G. Krusz Jr., Francis P. Krusz and his wife, Linda of Dedham, and John Krusz and his wife Rosemarie "Mimi" of Miami, FL. Former husband of Patricia A. (McCluskey) Krusz of Norwood. Also survived by many nieces and nephews.

Daniel was a proud graduate of Catholic Memorial High School and went on to earn his degree from Norwich University while playing hockey, a sport that shaped every part of his life. Hockey was more than something he played or coached; it was his community, his comfort, and his second family. He carried that passion into years of coaching with Dedham Babe Ruth, Stonehill hockey, Catholic Memorial hockey, and finally the Norwood Nuggets youth hockey program. The rink was where he felt most himself, surrounded by the energy, camaraderie, and friendships that meant the world to him. The relationships he built through hockey lasted a lifetime, and the impact he had on others extended well beyond the boards.

Above all else, Daniel loved the people in his life wholeheartedly. He was a devoted and deeply loving father, and Sophie was the center of his world. Everything he did, every sacrifice, every quiet effort was done with her in mind. He put his family above all else, never hesitating to show up, help, or step in whenever someone needed him. Dan was selfless in a way that felt effortless; he gave without expecting anything back. His humor, warmth, and steady presence made him the glue that held people close. With Dan around, no one ever felt alone, he made sure of it.

Visiting hours will be held on Wednesday, December 10, 2025 from 9am- 12noon at the Kraw Kornack Funeral Home 1248 Washington St. Norwood, MA 02062.

In Memoriam Donald G. McClure 10/29/2025  
Donald Grant McClure, 77, of Middletown, R.I. and Damariscotta, passed away on Wednesday, Oct. 29, 2025. A dedicated husband, father, grandfather, and community member, he was loved and respected by all who knew him. He will be with us forever in our thoughts and cherished memories.

Born on Dec. 16, 1947, Don grew up in Newington, Conn. He attended Admiral Farragut Academy and then enrolled at Norwich University, which is when he met his wife, Karen, who was attending Green Mountain College. They were married on May 11, 1968. Soon after their first son, Douglas, was born, Don's role in the Army took them to Panama.

After he completed his military service, he took a job with Arthur Anderson and they moved back to Connecticut and had a second son, Daniel.

Always looking for new opportunities and challenges, Don worked as an executive with several companies over the course of his life, even leaving the white-collar workforce to own and operate his own video store. Karen and Don raised their sons in Hampden and later Shrewsbury, Mass. During retirement, they moved to Damariscotta - a favorite vacation spot and place of many family memories - where Don became a member of the Rotary Club. In 2019, they moved to Middletown, R.I. to be closer to their sons and grandchildren.

No matter where Don went, he was ready to greet people with a warm smile, an eager expression, and a quick joke. His deep voice and calm tones resonated in any room, even at just a whisper.

Don is survived by his beloved wife of 57 years, Karen; sons, Douglas (Kimberly), and Daniel; grandchildren, Angel and Hadley (Danielle); and sister, Donna. Don was cremated and his ashes remain with Karen in a place of honor and love.
In Memoriam Michael S. Driscoll 11/15/2025  
Michael Shannon Driscoll, beloved husband, father, brother, and friend, passed away surrounded by his family and friends after a courageous battle with Alzheimer's disease. He was born on January 31, 1960, in Ogden, Utah, to the late Joseph and Mary Driscoll, and grew up in Somerville, Massachusetts, alongside his siblings.

Michael lived a life marked by integrity, service, and love. He attended Norwich University where he embraced the school's motto, "I will try" - which became a guiding thread throughout his life. He was a proud member of Skull and Swords, forming friendships that became lifelong brotherhoods. They stayed close through homecomings, golf tournaments, and their annual Christmas gathering in Boston.

Michael's children grew up hearing those Norwich stories and spending time with the same brothers and their families. Even in his final months at the VA hospital, his Norwich brothers came to be with him-sharing stories, laughter, and tears. Their loyalty to one another endured through every season of life.

After attending Norwich University-he joined the United States Air Force in January 1983, beginning a distinguished military and aviation career that reflected his lifelong commitment to excellence.

During his time in the Air Force, Captain Michael S. Driscoll served as a pilot stationed at Travis Air Force Base in California. He earned an honorable discharge in September 1986 upon completion of his active-duty commitment. His military decorations and awards include the Air Force Training Ribbon, Small Arms Expert Marksmanship Ribbon (Pistol), Air Force Longevity Service Award Ribbon, Air Force Overseas Ribbon-Long Tour, Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal with one Oak Leaf Cluster, Combat Readiness Medal with one Oak Leaf Cluster, and the Outstanding Unit Award Commendation Medal.

Michael's professional military education included Undergraduate Pilot Training (T-37/T-38, 1983), Pilot Initial Qualification (1986), Flight Instruction Lead-In Course (1986), Aircraft Commander Air Refueling Qualification (1988), Instructor Aircraft Commander, and Squadron Officer School (1986). His dedication to service, leadership, and precision prepared him for his next great chapter-civilian aviation.

Following his military career, Michael became a captain for Delta Air Lines, where he spent decades flying across the world. Throughout his aviation career, he traveled to every continent on the globe, embracing the adventure and wonder of each new place. It was on a Delta flight to Cleveland, Ohio, that fate introduced him to the love of his life, Lisa, a flight attendant whose humor and warmth captured his heart instantly. Together, they built a beautiful life full of laughter, travel, and shared adventure.

After marrying, Michael and Lisa settled in Winchester, Massachusetts, where they purchased their family home and raised their two children. They became deeply rooted in the community and cherished residents of Winchester for over thirty years.

Michael was a devoted father to his daughter, Hannah Small, and his son, Devin Driscoll. He filled their lives with joy, curiosity, and a love of exploration-sometimes even pulling them from school for spontaneous trips to Europe or afternoons at the zoo. Whether flying through the clouds or skating across the ice, Michael lived fully and encouraged his family to do the same.

Hockey was one of Michael's great passions. When he wasn't in the cockpit, he could be found on the ice-playing, coaching, or sharing his love for the sport. As a coach, he was known for his kindness, positivity, and unwavering spirit. Players and friends alike remember him as someone who led by example and brought out the best in everyone around him.

At home, he cherished "FFF"-Forced Family Fun-Friday nights filled with movies, laughter, and love. He found joy in simple moments: reading to his children, playing sports together, or attending Mass as a family at St. Mary's Church in Winchester, Massachusetts, where his faith was an essential part of his life. He instilled in his children the importance of gratitude, kindness, and putting family first.

Michael's generosity and warmth touched everyone he met. From his Norwich brothers to his Delta colleagues, the stories shared about him paint a portrait of a man who was steady, loyal, and endlessly giving. He was the kind of person who would give you the shirt off his back without hesitation, and his presence lit up every room he entered.

Michael is survived by his loving wife, Lisa Driscoll; his daughter and son-in-law, Hannah and Jason Small; his son, Devin Driscoll; his sister, Maureen Villa; and his brothers, Shaun Driscoll and Kevin Driscoll. He was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Mary Driscoll.

Though Alzheimer's slowly took from him, it never diminished the strength of his spirit or the love he shared with those around him. His family and friends will forever remember his humor, kindness, and devotion.

Michael's life was a testament to courage, compassion, and the power of trying-never giving up. He will be deeply missed and forever loved.

Relatives and friends are kindly invited to gather for Visiting Hours at the Costello Funeral Home, 177 Washington St., Winchester, on Thursday, November 20, from 4-8PM, and again on Friday, November 21, @ 11AM followed by a Funeral Mass in St. Mary's Church, 155 Washington St., Winchester at 12 noon.
