Michael Howland

Age - 89

November 29, 2023

Michael A. Howland, Age 89, of Winchester, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully on the morning of November 25, 2023 surrounded by his loving family. Michael is survived by his wife of 67 years, Lorraine (Anderson) and daughters Lori Davis, Jacqueline Richardson of Winchester, and Cindy Howland of Concord. Grandfather to Jess Zweifel of Charlotte, NC, Katie Piluri of Woburn, Michael Davis of Beverly, Kristen Holand Richardson, Ryan Howland Richardson of Winchester, Lillian Howland of Concord. Great Grandfather to Max and Zoe of Charlotte, NC. Brother to Shirly Shicker of Reading. Michael was predeceased by his Parents Charles and Lillian and his siblings Frederic, William, Charles, Richard, David, Beverly and Gene. Michael was always conscientious and an extremely hard worker whose thirst for success could almost never be quenched. As a young boy, he would always find a way to earn money which enabled him to buy Popsicles for his teething baby sister or Christmas presents for his nine siblings who all grew up with much poverty. His siblings were in such poor shape the state of Massachusetts Welfare Agency stepped in and placed them in an orphanage. From the orphanage the children were separated and placed in different foster homes. At age 9 Michael settled with a foster family from Stoneham where he was raised by a loving family. Growing up in Stoneham he was a Boy Scout and played varsity basketball and always attended church where he taught children the Bible. His desire to make money meant he always had a job which allowed him to buy a car (even before obtaining his license) which he would famously race his peers. After graduating High School, he found work at the GE plant in Lynn and then happened upon a home improvement company where he talked his way into being hired as a roofer, which he had absolutely no experience doing. The owners of the business immediately recognized his gift for persuasion and made him a salesman where, with a borrowed jacket and tie, he excelled in generating more sales for the company. He was so successful he eventually bought Perma Home Corporation outright. He grew the aluminum siding business and became one of the biggest "Tin Men" in New England from the 1950's to the '70's. Never satisfied and always wanting more, in 1978 he saw a development opportunity and built his first commercial property for Alcan Aluminum in Woburn, MA. He formed Howland Development Company which is now one of the leading commercial real estate companies with over 1. 6 million square feet of office and industrial space. He loved listening to Jimmy Buffett while cruising the Caribbean on his yacht the "Lori H" and he epitomized the lyric "I used to rule my world from a pay phone" for no matter where he was in the world he was in contact with his office on a daily basis. His Work Hard, Play Hard attitude was always clearly evident in his everyday life. Michael was a devoted family man and always put those he loved first. He found immense joy in spending time with his wife, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren participating in many activities and spending time at their various vacation homes. From freestyle skiing in Waterville Valley, NH, to cruising through all the Virgin Islands on his 86-foot yacht, to spending time on the water at his homes on the picturesque island of Martha's Vineyard and Boca Raton. These places were so dear to him for the family memories that were made. In his free time, he also enjoyed playing golf and tennis with treasured friends at the Winchester Country Club, the Wianno Club, Delray Beach Club, FL, a founding member of the Royal Palms Yacht Club and former director of the Algonquin Club. He found immense joy in sharing his globetrotting adventures with his family enabling them to enjoy culturally rich life experiences. His empathy was boundless, and he was a beacon of generosity both financially and emotionally, making him a source of support for those in need. Michael exemplified strength and perseverance and was forever grateful for the support and care provided by the Mass Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Visitation will be held at the Lane Funeral Home, 760 Main St. (Rte. 38) WINCHESTER on Thursday, November 30th from 5-7pm. A Funeral Service will be held at the First Congregational Church, 21 Church St. , Winchester on Friday, December 1st at 1pm. Relatives and friends are kindly invited to attend. Interment Wildwood Cemetery, Winchester. Memorial donations in Michael's memory may be made to Mass Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, 125 Hartwell Ave. , Lexington, MA 02421.

She was a 1943 graduate of Jamestown High School, then attended, and graduated from, Elmira College (NY) in 1947. She married the love of her life, Paul N. Anderson, Jr. in August 1948, after his graduation from MIT. They settled briefly in Corning, NY, but soon returned to their hometown of Jamestown, then Lakewood, NY. In 1969, they moved to Ann Arbor, MI, and in 1973, a final move to Winchester, MA, where they both delighted in being New Englanders. They enjoyed and achieved 61 years of marriage together. For all her adult life, Ann Marie was very active in, and committed to, her volunteer work.

Richard Osgood

Age - 79

October 24, 2023

Dr. Richard Magee Osgood, Jr. was born on December 28, 1943 in Kansas City, Missouri, to Mary (Neff) Russell Osgood and COL Richard M. Osgood, Sr. , a Captain in the Army at the time. In his early years, Rick cherished his summers in Rockport MA with his mother and Aunt Mary in the summer home of his grandparents. While in Winchester High School, Rick was active in the Boy Scouts, attaining Eagle Scout and the Order of the Arrow. It was in Rick's AP Chemistry course that he met the love of his life, Alice (Rose) Dyson. Rick graduated from Winchester, MA high school in 1961 and entered the United States Military Academy at West Point. At West Point, he was a member of the varsity track team and distinguished himself academically. During part of the summer of his junior year, while stationed with an Army engineer company in South Germany, Rick took a month of furlough for a solo bicycle trek, deepening his knowledge of German culture, countryside and language. Upon his 1965 graduation and commission as a second lieutenant, Rick elected to be assigned to the Air Force, moving to Yellow Springs, OH in 1965. Rick married Alice in June, 1966 and they went on to have three children, Richard III, Nathaniel and Jennifer. At Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Rick co-invented the high-power carbon monoxide laser and took evening classes to earn a master's degree in physics at Ohio State University in 1968. Applying to PhD programs, he was awarded a full Hertz scholarship for doctoral study at MIT. At MIT, Rick worked in the research group of Professor Ali Javan, contributing to breakthrough advances in laser science. Rick was awarded a PhD in Physics from MIT in the spring of 1973 and immediately went to work for MIT Lincoln Laboratory, initially in the Optics Division, and later switching to the Solid State Division in 1975-6, when he joined the Quantum Electronics group. In this group, Rick co-created the field of laser-induced photochemical deposition and reactions on surfaces; for this and other surface chemistry research, he was later awarded the John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship. Across his entire professional life, Rick was a pioneer in the rapidly expanding field of lasers, and conducted both pure and applied science with lasers, such as the creation of a new solid state laser in the Quantum Electronics Group. In 1981, Rick transitioned to a fully tenured professorship at Columbia University and moved his family to New York. In 1988, Rick was appointed Higgins Professor at Columbia University, where he created and directed the Microelectronics Sciences Laboratories, in which his research group created new microelectronics capabilities and materials. At Columbia, Rick created new surface chemistry and interactions, and nonlinear optical materials and processing with his many colleagues and over 100 students. Although an academic, Rick also contributed to pure and applied science at the national level, participating in multiple studies during the summers for the Defense Advanced Projects Agency (DARPA). In 2000, he became an Associate Director of Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), one of a handful of American National Laboratories with advanced synchrotron facilities leading worldwide research. Later in his career at Columbia University and after his tenure at BNL, Rick led pioneering efforts to create and apply Silicon Photonics, in non-linear optical materials and in the new field of plasmonics, which experienced exponential growth in the 2000s and led Rick to publish many highly cited papers. Since his 2016 retirement and move to Wenham MA, Rick remained active in optics and materials research in the greater Boston area, maintaining a close connection to former students and working part-time at Boston University and working with and mentoring students and postdoctoral researchers. He further contributed to editing and writing technical books with past students. Rick loved spending summers in Rockport with his family, where ocean swims and morning jogs constituted a treasured part of his daily routine. Rick was a member of the South End Association and an active member of the Veterans Committee in Wenham. Rick cherished spending his time with his six grandchildren, whether visiting historical sites and museums or pursuing home projects or yard work. His humor, wise advice, kind words, diligent work ethic, and love of the outdoors and science and his deep and abiding curiosity about natural phenomena strongly influenced his entire family, especially his children. As one neighbor observed, Rick had a brilliant mind and a heart of gold, and will remain an inspiration for his family and friends for years to come. His noble spirit will always be treasured. Following a courageous five-week battle with radiation cystitis, Rick passed away on October 20, 2023 in the beautiful and peaceful surrounds of the Kaplan Family Hospice House in Danvers. MA. Rick is survived by his beloved wife Alice; his sons, Dr. Richard and Dr. Nathaniel (Dr. Xiaoquan), and daughter Jennifer (Richard Smestad), and six grandchildren: Anatoly and Richard Osgood, and Svea, Solvie, Siiri and Selja Smestad. He is also survived by his brother, Russell (Paula) and sister Dr. Rebecca (Dr. Thomas Hoerner) and several nieces and nephews. A small private family funeral is planned in November at the First Congregational Church in Winchester, MA. For non-family well-wishers, livestreaming will be available on the church website. A private burial will take place at Locust Grove Cemetery in Rockport, MA. In lieu of flowers, donations can be directed to the Kaplan Family Hospice House in Danvers, the First Congregational Church in Winchester or a charity of the donor's choosing.Show more
