McFARLAND [East Bay Newspapers, On-line Obituaries, July
2006, Providence RI Journal, Saturday 8 July 2006] John Vincent McFarland, 89, of Barrington, died Thursday, July 6, 2006. He was the devoted husband
of Alice M. McFarland. Prior to his 40-year residency in Barrington, he lived in Winchester and then Andover, Mass. Born on August 16, 1916 in Medford, Mass., he attended Medford schools and received his undergraduate degree from Boston University. He entered the armed forces from Medford, completed Officer Candidate School and during World War II, served as a navigator stationed in Europe flying missions in a B-24 Liberator to targets within Germany. At the conclusion of World War II he flew the B-24 thousands of miles from Europe back to this home air base in Lubbock, Texas, where upon landing the ground crew pasted the aircraft with the warnings “Unsafe to Fly,” not a surprising revelation to him. Having put all his equipment “back where it belonged” he retired from the United States Air Force as a Lt. Colonel. Immediately prior to his retirement from business in 1982 he had been a financial executive with the Ann & Hope retail companies. Earlier in his career he had worked with the Jays, United Farmers, Gilchrist’s and Pollard’s, all in Massachusetts. He was a parishioner of St. Luke’s Church and a former member of the Barrington Yacht Club. Mr. McFarland found his greatest enjoyment, before and after retirement on Narragansett Bay. Whether it was a motorized chase to fish a school of blues on a feeding frenzy in the upper bay or the final turn north at Beavertail followed by an early evening sail before wind returning to his Barrington mooring, he found that these settings joined by his family and friends sustained a zest for life in his soul. In addition to his wife of 63 years, he leaves his son and daughter-in-law, Frank and Ronnie McFarland of Bristol; a daughter, Marie McFarland of East Providence; a grandson John L. McFarland of Riverview, Fla.; and many nieces and nephews. The funeral will be held on Monday at 10:15 from the Smith-Mason Funeral Home 398 Willett Ave., Riverside with a Mass of Christian burial in St. Luke’s Church Washington Road at 11:30. Burial with military honors will be in Gate of Heaven Cemetery in East Providence.

[Attleboro MA Sun Chronicle, Friday 12 Jan 2007] Attleboro -
Christopher James McGinnes, 19, of Downing Drive, Attleboro, died on Wednesday,
Jan. 10, 2007 at Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence where he was
surrounded by the unending love and devotion of his family and caregivers,
following an illness that was first diagnosed in May 2003. He was born in
Attleboro on April 11, 1987, the loving son of David H. and Ann H. (Keating)
McGinnes. He was a lifelong resident of the City of Attleboro and was an active
sophomore at Attleboro High School in May of 2003 when he was beset with
illness. In the third grade, Chris was introduced to the theatre and the world
of drama through his role as a munchkin in the Attleboro High School's
production of the Wizard of Oz. From that moment on, Chris's love for the arts
grew with each new project. He performed in numerous high school musicals and
drama productions, often playing the lead role. His love for entertaining also
had him demonstrating his talent on stage at TriBoro Youth Theatre productions.
Chris was an honor student who was comfortable with all types of people and
would not hesitate to pick up the microphone and speak to a crowd of only a few
or a few hundred. His dynamic personality did not go unnoticed. He served his
fellow classmates as the president of his freshmen class, and was a member of
the Attleboro High School Student Council. His political involvement in
Attleboro led to him being a member and serving as president of the SEMASC -
Southeastern Massachusetts Association of Student Councils, and was a member of
the MASC - the Massachusetts Association of Student Councils. He was a member of
the Executive Board of Attleboro during the 2002-2003 school year. His illness
and two-year hospital stay prohibited him from graduating with his classmates in
the Attleboro High School Class of 2005, but he was always remembered by them
through their prayers and support. As an avid runner, he was a member of the
Attleboro High School cross country team. He was a communicant of St. Stephen's
Church in the Dodgeville section of Attleboro, and it was there that Chris
received his first communion from Fr. Richard Roy, then pastor of St. Stephen's
Church. Chris was an inspiration to
all who were his family, friends or even a newly-made acquaintance long before
his illness, and he certainly demonstrated a strong will and positive attitude.
Although his years may have been few in numbers, he left a lasting impression on
the world. An athlete, Chris enjoyed downhill skiing and running and was a fan
of the New England Patriots. He loved the ocean and treasured the annual family
vacations to Aruba. Listening to music and playing the guitar were among his
favorite pastimes. His sense of humor and his love for laughter will be forever
remembered. Chris let everyone know about how proud he was of his Irish
heritage. Through the years of
illness, he relentlessly demonstrated his love for his family. His family was
his rock and support, and he had an absolute admiration and love for each of
them, and in particular, his beloved sister, Liz. In addition to his devoted Mom
and Dad, he leaves his loving sister, Elizabeth "Liz" McGinnes of
Attleboro; his maternal grandmother, Regina (Spencer) Keating of Attleboro
Falls; his paternal grandfather, John E. McGinnes of Cumberland, R.I.; and many
aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and caregivers. Chris's dear brother, Bryan
Patrick McGinnes, died in 1993 at the age of 13. He was the maternal grandson of
the late Eugene Keating, and was the paternal grandson of the late Mildred (Hadfield)
McGinnes. Relatives and friends are cordially invited to attend visitation on
Monday, Jan. 15 from 3 to 8 p.m. in the Memorial Chapel of the Dyer-Lake Funeral
Home, 161 Commonwealth Ave., Village of Attleboro Falls, North Attleboro.

fellowship and reflection at a location to be announced. Flowers are accepted,

of the late Michael C. and Catherine (Kenney) McGoldrick. He was educated in
Mansfield schools and was a 1938 graduate of Mansfield High School. He entered
the U.S. Army in 1939 and 1942 he was commissioned as an officer. After 20 years
in the service, he retired in 1959. If any person in the world could be
considered "Mr. Red, White, and Blue," it was surely Lester McGoldrick.
He held a special concern in his heart for both his country and his fellow

this obituary was taken of him at the May 15, 2004, dedication of the new World

trips to Hanscom Air Field in Bedford, Mass. In his retirement he also enjoyed
assisting the Begg's family in North Attleboro at the Morse and Beggs Monument
co. An avid traveler and historian, he was able to see and visit the entire
world. His generosity did not stop with the veterans. He traveled to Ireland and
made sure that all of the graves of his relatives there were properly marked for
all generations to see in the future. Of all the places traveled in the world,
his favorite place to travel to was his backyard and around neighborhood. He was
truly the "Mayor of His Neighborhood." A lifelong resident of
Mansfield, he was a communicant of St. Mary's Church in Mansfield. He was a
member of the Mansfield Council on Aging, a life member of the American Legion,
and a member of the Mansfield V.F.W. He was the dear brother of the late Albert
McGoldrick, Daniel James McGoldrick, and Gertrude McGoldrick. He was the loving
uncle of Kristina Pawlak and her husband, John Pawlak of Foxboro, Mary Norton

McHUGH
[Newport RI Daily News, On-line Obituaries July 2005] Boston,
Mass. - Francis Joseph McHugh, 97, of Wingate at Needham Rehab, Needham, MA,
died Tuesday, July 19, 2005, at St. Elizabeth´s Medical Center, Boston, MA. He
was the husband of the late Mary (Pickering) McHugh for over 59 years, until her
death on December 9, 2000, and his first wife Elaine (Armstrong) McHugh who he
lost in the hurricane of 1938. Born in Johnston, RI, on June 19, 1908, he was
the son of the late Francis Joseph and Annie (Wood) McHugh. An island resident
since 1934, he was an avid walker and a familiar figure strolling the
Broadway-Washington Square area. A 1974 retiree of the Naval War College, Mr.
McHugh was known nationally and internationally for his lectures and writings on
war gaming. From 1974 to his retirement in 1983, he was a Senior Systems Analyst
at Pacer Systems, Inc. Mr. McHugh was drafted in early 1943 and served in the
1258th Combat Engineers, a unit of Patton´s Third Army. He was awarded three
battle stars. When Mr. McHugh started at the Naval War College in early 1934,
war games had been a feature of that institution since its earliest day. Under
the direction and supervision of naval officers and war gaming experts, he
performed plotting and recording duties and prepared graphs and nomograms for
strategic, tactical and logistic games. With the advent of the analog Naval
Electronic Warfare Simulator (NEWS) in late 1957, Mr. McHugh was promoted to
Operations Research Analyst. He became involved in data collection and analysis,
as well as game model design. He also participated in student and Fleet games as
both umpire and player. During this period he gave lectures on the history of
war gaming and simulation and other related topics to staff and students of the
Naval War College and to Fleet, reserve and foreign officers. He also
participated in the requirements, development and the phased utilization of a
digital war gaming system (WARS). Mr. McHugh retired from the Naval War College
on June 30, 1974. He then joined Pacer Systems as a Senior Systems Analyst. In
this capacity, he provided on-site guidance and support for the WARS until 1983.
Mr. McHugh´s Naval War College publications include "Graphic Methods of
Presenting Statistical Data," 1950, "Visual Aids at the Naval War
College," 1952, 1956, and "Graphic Presentation",1956.
"Gaming at the Naval War College," an article in the March, 1963,
issue of US Naval Institute Proceedings, provides a brief overview of gaming at
that institution. His best known book, Fundamentals of War Gaming, ran three
editions, 1960, 1961 and 1966. This seminal work includes all aspects of war
gaming and simulation up to the time of publication, from the one-on-one to
military-political games. Topics include the history of war gaming, rules and
procedures, war game models, data, strategic chart simulations, tactical board
games and the pre-Word War II US- Japanese games. Issued to all Naval War
College Staff and students as well as Fleet and Reserve gaming participants, it
received wide distribution. The third edition of Fundamentals of War Gaming was
chosen by the Advanced Research Project Agency for its 1972 "Reviews of
Selected Books and Articles on Gaming and Simulation" (R-732-ARPA, June
1972) it was examined in great detail and received a very favorable review. On
the occasion of Mr. McHugh's final retirement, his colleagues presented him with
a plaque inscribed "Master War Gamer of Them All", a fitting tribute
to one who devoted half a century to the art and science of war gaming. He is
survived by two daughters Patricia F. Mullette of Caldwell, NJ, and Sharon E.
McHugh of Dedham, MA; his brother Edward McHugh of Naples, FL; and his
grandchildren Alison Weeda of Kensington, MD, Stephanie Mullette of Hamburg,
Germany, Michael Mullette of Mt. Pocono, PA, Richard Silva of Osterville, MA and
Timothy Silva of Hingham, MA; and five great-grandchildren. He was the father of
the late Francis Joseph McHugh, who died in the 1938 hurricane, and Kathleen M.
McHugh, and the brother of the late Alice Howard and Dorothy Walker. His funeral
will be held on Saturday, July 23, 2005, at 10:00 a.m. in Memorial Funeral Home,
375 Broadway, Newport. Burial with full military honors will be in St. Columba
