As a life member of the ATA (Amateur Trap Shooting Association), he was among the first Rhode Island trap shooters to be inducted into the RI trap shooting hall of fame. Beyond his professional and recreational pursuits, Ken was a fanatical train collector, an enthusiastic hunter, but above all, he cherished moments spent with his family.

Kevin Swimm

Age - 47

December 4, 2023

Kevin Bruce Swimm, of Middleboro, MA, passed away peacefully on December 1, 2023 surrounded by loved ones, just days before his 70th birthday. Born on December 6, 1953, in Chelsea, MA, Kevin was the son of the late Barbara and Francis Swimm. Kevin was a kind and loving man who touched the lives of many. He will be deeply missed by his surviving family members, including his beloved cat Rocky, and children, Courtney Kamborian and her husband Kristopher, Nicole Swimm and her husband Matt Emschweiler, and son James Mastrorilli, all of Quincy. He is also survived by his siblings Kenneth Swimm, Robert and Joan Swimm, and Kathy Swimm, as well as many cherished nieces and nephews. A passionate college football fan, Kevin was an unwavering supporter of the Boston College Eagles. He was also a big New England sports fan and had no problem letting everyone know when he fully supported them, and when they weren't doing well. Proud of his tenure at the Fore River Shipyard, he enjoyed sharing stories from his softball-playing days and of the Fore River educational classes he was part of. His career in construction, notably contributing to the "Big Dig," was a source of pride. He enjoyed fishing, and he would frequently visit the Herring Run. Kevin relocated to Middleboro years ago and embraced the town as his new home. He was a proud supporter of the community, and enjoyed the many events the town offered. While in Middleboro, he made many friends that gave him a new spin on life. His family extends heartfelt gratitude to the Middleboro community for welcoming him, and giving him some of his fondest memories. Kevin enjoyed great food - especially the 2lb baked stuffed lobster from Bay Pointe in Quincy. As his tastes evolved with age, he consistently enjoyed a home cooked meal, specifically meatloaf and mashed potatoes. His family finds comfort in knowing that this was his final meal before his transition. A celebration of Kevin's life, marked by good food, music, and shared memories, will be organized at a later date, welcoming all who wish to honor his memory. The family expresses special gratitude to the town of Middleboro and Beth Israel Hospital Plymouth for their consistent, compassionate care of Kevin. In remembrance of Kevin's life, a memorial bench will be placed in Middleboro, the town he held dear. Directions to Funeral HomeShow more

Leslie Brignoli

Age - 87

December 4, 2023

On November 27, 2023, Leslie Joan Brignoli (Leavitt), 87, with her eldest daughter tenderly caring for her, was called home to her forever home, Heaven, to live with Jesus for eternity. In 1958 Leslie married John Thomas Brignoli, better known as Jack. Together they raised 5 children. Leslie was a dedicated wife and mother. While raising her children Leslie began to inquire of God the answers to the questions of her heart. In August of 1978 her questions were answered with the revelation of how much God loved her and what Jesus, the Son of God did for her on the Cross. At that moment she thanked God and accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior. She was a new person filled with Joy, Hope and Peace. She wanted everyone she knew and everyone she met to experience that same Joy, Hope and Peace, that she knew only comes from that surrendered relationship to Jesus. With that strong conviction she became a soft-spoken evangelist. Leslie was the youngest of 9 siblings born to Fred and Lillian Leavitt, who are now deceased along with all her siblings, her husband, Jack, his parents, his sisters, her eldest granddaughter, and a son in-law. Leslie is survived by her 5 children, Teresa (Terry) Sjoo-Brignoli of Plymouth, Brenda Parsons of Wareham, Deborah (Debbi) Reilly and her husband Matthew (Matt) of NH, John (Johnny) Brignoli of Dartmouth and Jill Farrell and her husband Noel of Marshfield. She is also survived by her fur baby Daisy May, entrusted to the loving care of Jill and Noel. She leaves 9 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren, including one due in March. She also leaves many nieces, nephews, church family, friends, neighbors and a message to all who read this: God loves you. Reach out to Him for the answers to your questions and receive the truth that He is eager to share, Jesus the Hope of Salvation. All who answer the call will see Leslie again when their time comes, and they are called home. Matthew 11:28-30 New American Standard Bible "Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is comfortable and My burden is light.

Hugh Macdonnell

Age - 67

November 30, 2023

Hugh MacDonnell passed away peacefully at his home on Monday, November 20, 2023. Although Hugh's diagnosis and passing are upsetting for all, his loved ones wish for Hugh to be remembered for his kindness, generosity, quick wit, and perseverance. If you met Hugh, you would not be able to forget him; his positive attitude was palpable. Hugh was born in 1955 and grew up in Newton, Massachusetts. His parents were natives of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia and the family often made frequent summer vacations there. As an adult Hugh had a variety of careers. He worked for many years for the Lappen family and for Rush Auto. He also worked for Travelers Insurance as an auditor. Most recently he found his true calling as a part-owner of two convenience stores in Quincy: Adams Variety and The Quincy Market. Hugh's business partners were family to him; he felt so fortunate to have had these people in his life the past 7 years. Hugh loved playing golf, watching football, reading, and listening to music. Most of all he loved great conversation with loved ones and acquaintances. Hugh had the unique ability to befriend all types of people. Hugh leaves behind his wife and best friend of 42 years, Marian (Abbate), his children Jameson and his wife Stacey of Las Cruces, New Mexico, his daughter Marisa, her husband Brian, and his dear grandchildren Samuel and Cecilia of Montclair, New Jersey. He also leaves his sisters Paula (John), Jean (Stephen), Laura (Chris) and his brother, John. He has a number of in-laws, nieces, and nephews, all of whom were special to him. Hugh was preceded in death by his parents Hugh and Emma MacDonnell, his sister Maggie Nunes, and his niece Erica Ames. Hugh loved the holiday season, making the timing of his passing bittersweet. Upon his passing, Hugh wished for donations to be made to First Tee , a youth development organization with the mission of instilling life-enhancing values through the game of golf. For anyone who knew Hugh, this request was exceptionally well-fitting. His family also wants to extend their gratitude to Mass General Hospital, where Hugh received treatment, and Old Colony Hospice, which served as a great source of support and comfort for Hugh and Marian these last few months. A Celebration of Life Mass will be held at St. Dennis Church in Westwood on Wednesday, December 6, 2023 at 10:00am. Donations can be made to First Tee at PO Box 3055, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL 32004 or to Old Colony Hospice at 321 Manley Street West Bridgewater, MA 02379. Directions to Funeral HomeShow more
