Bruce M. Hauben of Littleton, MA, passed peacefully at his home on March 16, 2026, while surrounded by his loving family.

Born on January 26, 1942, he was raised in South Orange, NJ, graduating from Columbia High School in Maplewood, NJ. He continued to graduate from Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. After pursuing a life in the corporate world, including working for Johnson & Johnson, he embarked on a lifelong pursuit of a life lived on his own path. Bruce married Carolyn DeCenso in 1964 and welcomed three sons.

Bruce was a man of action, a builder of businesses, and a true adventurer who chased his final horizon just this January, having recently returned from a voyage around Tierra del Fuego.

Bruce was an entrepreneur before the world had a name for it. Driven by a fierce independence, he founded a casual retail clothing store and grew it into a three-store success. He did not just build businesses; he built a philosophy of self-reliance that he took considerable pride in passing down to his three sons. To Bruce, being your own boss was not just a career path, it was the only way he knew how to live.

Among Bruce’s many other interests, he was known for racing Porsches, instructing up‑and‑coming drivers at tracks around the country, and for his deep, "old school" love for the land. In his suburban home he was a dedicated gardener and a modern-day homesteader, raising chickens, rabbits, and other animals. Family events were not complete without a dozen of his fresh eggs, and his garden was a testament to his patience and care.

Bruce was also a fantastic cook and a legendary baker; skills he took care to instill in his sons. Family Thanksgivings were defined by an almost absurd number of cakes and pies, with his famous Carrot Cake and Cheesecake always taking center stage. He taught us that a well-made meal was the ultimate gift to the people you love.

For more than 40 years, Bruce’s "partner in crime" and devoted wife, Joyce Brinton, has been the steady hand by his side. Joyce has truly been the glue that held these many varied interests together, never more so than during Bruce’s final days, where her strength and love provided him with the peace he deserved.

Bruce is survived by his wife, Joyce; his three sons and daughters-in-law: Jason and Karen (Aboud) Hauben (Darien, CT), Michael and Susan (Devey) Hauben (Ormond Beach, FL), and Craig Hauben and Maria Elena Alvarado (Miami, FL); and his eight grandchildren: Madeleine, William, Lauren, Griffin, Carson, Wyatt, Ethan, and Piper. He also leaves behind a legacy of independence, generosity, and the memory of a man who always knew exactly where the "perfect line" was on the track of life.

Bruce was predeceased by his parents and his beloved sister Barbara.

A private celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Kirron J. Arone, of Clinton, Massachusetts, passed away suddenly on March 10, 2026, at UMass Memorial Medical Center.

Born in Littleton, Kirron was a graduate of Littleton High School, where he was known for his talent on the basketball court and his loyalty to those closest to him. He had a generous spirit and a deep love for his family.

Basketball was his true passion, and as a devoted fan of the Boston Celtics, he carried that passion throughout his life. He shared a particularly special bond with his youngest brother, Cyrus, who looked up to him deeply, as Kirron took pride in mentoring and guiding him both on and off the court. That same love of the game was shared with his stepbrother Sebastian and his cousin Joey, all of whom connected through their passion for basketball.

He also found joy in the simple things, especially the time he spent with his beloved cats, Milo and Bandit.

He is survived by his father, Richard Arone, and his mother, Debra Shuris; his brother, Richie, with whom he shared an especially close and unbreakable bond; his siblings, Kelsey, Alexis, Sebastian, Tiffany, and Cyrus; his stepmother, Erica Haywood; his stepfather, Andy Shuris; his grandmother, Donna Arone; as well as Bonnie and Billy, lovingly known as Grandma and Papou; and many extended family members and friends.

Family and friends will gather to honor and remember Kirron for a period of visitation on Thursday, March 19, 2026, from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm, at the Badger Funeral Home, 347 King St., Littleton, MA. His funeral service and burial will be held privately.

Kirron lived with heart, loyalty, and passion—for his family, for the game he loved, and for the life he embraced every day. His memory will live on in the stories shared, the love he gave, and the lasting impact he made on everyone fortunate enough to know him.

Forever in our hearts, we love you, Kirron.

Sophia T. Rosinski, 96, of Littleton, MA, passed away peacefully Friday, March 13, 2026 at Life Care Center of Nashoba Valley in Littleton, Ma. where she resided for the past 5 years.

Born January 9, 1930 in Boonville, NY on the family farm on Potato Hill Road at the onset of the Great Depression. She was the daughter of Blaze and Margaret Kowalik, who immigrated from Poland through Ellis Island in 1909, and the youngest of nine children; three brothers, Walter (Bill), Joseph, Zygmunt and five sisters, Mary, Anna, Lena, Evelyn and Helen.

Sophia’s life was guided by her deep faith in God and was a devout Catholic. Sophia attended secretarial school in NYC and worked in Utica, NY. She met Alfred Rosinski at Kitlas Dance Hall in Utica, NY and they were wed on May 21, 1955.

They settled in New York Mills, New York and Alfred worked at Rome AFB. Alfred was transferred to Hanscom AFB in Bedford, Massachusetts in 1961, with Son Greg (5) and Cindy (3) in tow. Mark and Stephen were later born there to complete their family of six.

Sophia and Al enjoyed taking the kids camping and took a special fondness to York Beach and Cape Neddick, Maine where they “camped” in their trailer late into their 70s! Although not much of a swimmer, Sophia loved the beach and the beauty of the coast! Add lobster and clams to that! It was not unusual for her to send the kids out to dig fresh clams, and she would make fresh clam chowder- one of her favorites!

In 1980, they sold their home in Bedford and moved back to Boonville with son Stephen where they lived into their elder years. They were avid Red Sox fans and attended many Spring Training games while wintering in FL.

She was an excellent cook of Polish dishes and a great baker! She loved to cook for friends and family bringing everyone together around her table.

Sophia is survived by her eldest son Gregory Rosinski, daughter Cindy Irwin and her husband David Irwin; her son Stephen Rosinski and his wife Heidi; her daughter-in-law Deborah Rosinski; her sister Helen Garbarino; and her special niece Theresa McGibbon and her husband Thomas McGibbon. She is also survived by her grandchildren; Melissa Irwin; Daniel Irwin and his wife Sonal Said; Laura Sherman and her husband Andrew Sherman; Jillian Haussman and her husband Jeff Hausmann; and Neil Rosinski, along with many beloved great grandchildren. She is predeceased by her husband Alfred and son Mark Rosinski, her parents and many siblings.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Sophia will be set to rest next to her beloved husband Al in Boonville, NY.

The family would like to thank the dedicated staff of the Life Care Center of Nashoba Valley for their care, kindness, and support they gave Sophia and her family.

Carlton L. Noyes, 84, passed away peacefully on March 6, 2026, at the Bedford Veterans Hospital. Carlton was born in Norwood, Massachusetts, to Irene and Philip Noyes, and later settled with his family in Holliston, MA. He earned a BA in Biology from the University of Bridgeport, where he met his wife, Sue. Carl worked as an arborist and aquatic biologist, passions that began in childhood and were strengthened through his involvement with the Boy Scouts and hiking the Appalachian Trail, which he completed.

He joined the U.S. Army in 1966 as a 2nd Lieutenant with the 307th Medical Battalion at Fort Sam Houston, later volunteering for the 82nd Airborne. In 1967, he went to Vietnam to serve as a medic with the 173rd Airborne.

Carlton, a respected Medic and Captain, served in the renowned 173rd Airborne unit during the Vietnam War. His unit faced immense challenges and is among the most decorated for its extensive service.

Throughout his service, Carlton received several distinguished awards, including the Bronze Star (First Oak Leaf Cluster), a Purple Heart, and an Army Commendation Medal. During his deployment in Vietnam, his unit—the 4/503rd Infantry—was honored with the Valorous Unit Award for extraordinary heroism.

Carlton participated in several critical battles during his service, including Dak To, Tuy Hoa, Hill 823, Hill 875, the TET Offensive, and Cemetery Hill. From early November 1967 through Thanksgiving, the 503rd Infantry endured unimaginable hardships and suffered tremendous losses. Carlton, along with his fellow paratroopers and soldiers, exemplified true American heroism.

Carlton struggled with survivor's guilt and PTSD, which deeply impacted him. He achieved sobriety in his fifties and later sought support for his PTSD. He initiated projects, including installing flags for all military branches at the VA in Bedford, Massachusetts.

He would always encourage his fellow Veterans to seek help, sobriety, faith in God, and be deeply devoted in your family. He also always said, when things are tough, get down on your knees and pray to God.

Carlton was an Environmental Consultant for over 35 years, serving as an Aquatic Biologist, Laboratory Director, and Vice President. He contributed to major projects like Boston’s Third Harbor Tunnel, the Central Artery Project (“Big Dig”), the MBTA Silverline, and environmental initiatives in Puerto Rico, Chile, and Taiwan. His work focused on lake and pond restoration, wastewater treatment, and water quality improvement.

Carlton and Sue later settled in Harvard, MA, where he built a house for his growing family, complete with a farm that had chickens, pigs, pet bunnies, horses, and, of course, ponies. He also cared for his large vegetable and flower gardens. He always created ziplines for his kids in the backyard. During the winter, he taught them how to make snow jumps, cross-country and downhill ski, and an ice-skating rink. Carl and Sue later divorced, but he always considered Harvard home.

He lived in Greenville, New Hampshire, with his eldest daughter's family before returning to Massachusetts. Carl later moved to Nashoba Park in Ayer, valuing its independence, medical support, and closeness to his daughter's family. Kerra and Jim often visited with their children, sharing meals and outings. Visits from his grandchildren brought him laughter and happiness.

In summer 2023, Carl suffered a fall from which he never recovered. For 58 years, he persevered through challenges, but ultimately spinal injuries, Agent Orange exposure, cancer, cardiac issues, strokes, and resulting dementia and Alzheimer’s ended his battle.

Carlton is survived by his daughter Kerra Huchowski, her husband James, and their children Ava and Abner. He is also survived by his sisters, Frances Spencer and Elaine DiGiovanni, along with her husband Joseph. He is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, and friends. He is also survived by his oldest daughter, Heather Noyes-Young, and her children, Daniel, Amanda, and Timothy. He was predeceased by his sister Elaine Francis Noyes, who passed away at birth, his brother Peter Noyes, and his sister Marguerite Durham and her husband Dale.

His family supported him through every challenge, ensuring he was cared for with dignity and kindness. They thank all who looked after him, especially the teams at Nashoba Park in Ayer and Unit 4A at Bedford VA.

Family and friends will gather to honor and remember Carlton for a period of visitation on Thursday, March 12, 2026, from 9:00 - 10:30 AM, at the Badger Funeral Home, 347 King St., Littleton. A funeral Mass will follow at 11:00 AM at Blessed Trinity Parish - St. Anne Church, 75 King St., Littleton, MA.

Melvin John Hartley, 85, passed away on March 6 after facing numerous health challenges with strength and determination. Born on December 22, 1940, in Webster, Massachusetts, Mel lived a full life defined by hard work, family, friendship, and an enduring love of sports.

Mel was a longtime resident of Simsbury, Connecticut, before later moving to Westford, Massachusetts. He was the beloved husband of more than 50 years to Marie (Pasciscia) Hartley. Together, they enjoyed many years surrounded by family, extended family, and dear friends.

He was the proud father of Jennifer Hartley (Larison) Johnson of Concord, Massachusetts, and the devoted grandfather of Jackson and Sofie Johnson of Concord, Massachusetts, who brought him tremendous joy. He was also the father of Heather (Nick) Cintron of York, Pennsylvania, and grandfather to Megan and Nicholas. He also leaves behind beloved family members Josephine, Ted, Cheryl, Rob, Stephen, Valerie, Heather, Jay, Bruce, Duane, grandnieces, and a grandnephew.

Mel served his country in the United States Navy and attended American International College before beginning a long and successful career in sales. A true salesman extraordinaire, he worked for companies including Converse, Pfaltzgraff, Salton, and Boston Warehouse, earning Salesperson of the Year honors many times over. Throughout his career, he also mentored many young salesmen who benefited from his guidance, encouragement, and enthusiasm.

In his free time, Mel could often be found on the golf course, especially at his home course, Simsbury Farms, as well as on Cape Cod and on Amelia Island, Florida, where his family owned a home for many years. When he wasn’t golfing, he enjoyed playing tennis, deep sea fishing, and trips to the Saratoga, NY Racetrack with his longtime friends.

When Mel and Marie moved to Westford to be closer to their grandchildren, he quickly became an active member of the Hildreth Hills Condominium Association board. Known for his friendly nature and constant presence in the community, Mel was affectionately referred to by neighbors as “the mayor of Hildreth Hills.”

Sports were truly part of Mel’s DNA, and he followed them all with passion, none more than his beloved New England teams. He was an unwavering, lifelong member of Red Sox Nation and an avid fan of both men's and women’s UConn basketball.

Mel brought joy to everyone fortunate enough to know him. His warmth, humor, and love of life will live on in the many people lucky enough to have called him a friend.

David K. Banks passed away peacefully, surrounded by the love of his family, leaving behind a legacy of warmth, humor, and treasured traditions.

He was born and raised in Littleton, Massachusetts. He and the love of his life, Kathy, were married for 47 years. They raised their family in Littleton and retired to Maine in 2011, where David loved living by the marsh, watching the wildlife, and walking along the beach.

As a young man, David had a varied career. He began as a welder at McGovern Brothers, his uncle’s shop. He served as a patrolman on the Littleton Police Force, then went into partnership with his brother Earl to open the Nashoba Valley Sports Shop. When the shop closed, he joined New England Telephone, working in repair and installation before moving into management and training. He retired from Verizon after 20 years of service.

David was an avid outdoorsman. He treasured time spent at hunting camp in Vermont with friends and family. He loved hunting and fishing and hiked many of the lower New England mountains. He explored local conservation trails and might be found napping in his “happy place” on a bench by the marsh along a Rachel Carson trail. He loved walking the beach collecting shells and sea glass. When his children or grandchildren showed him their treasures, he would carefully explain what each one was. He cherished being out on a boat fishing with the boys, especially a memorable trip to Key West. He skied until he was 82 years old and was particularly happy skiing at Gunstock after turning 70, when he qualified for a free season pass.

He was a dedicated sports fan — cheering for the Red Sox, the Patriots, and the Bruins — but he was happiest sitting in the stands supporting his children and later his grandchildren as they played football, hockey, and lacrosse. He was also a racing enthusiast who loved watching super modifieds at local tracks, NASCAR races, and the Indianapolis 500. One of his favorite trips was traveling to the Indy 500 with his three brothers.

From the time he moved to Maine until just a month before his passing, David was a devoted volunteer and made many close friends working at the food pantry.

Like so many others, David held many important roles: son, husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend. But he also carried a very special and meaningful persona. For over 40 years, he was Santa Claus.

David was a year-round Santa. He always made time to speak with children who looked at him with wonder, quietly asking, “Is that Santa?” He carried a red wallet filled with cards featuring his photo in his Santa suit and the message, “The true spirit of Christmas lies in your heart,” which he would hand to every child he met.

He volunteered at town events including tree lightings, holiday bazaars, and a call-in “Talk to Santa” program on the local TV station. For several years, he served as Santa for Boston Children’s Hospital and appeared at many large events, though his favorites were smaller gatherings where he could sit with each child, tell stories, answer questions, and bring joy and magic to countless families.

David was a member of the New England Santa Society, taught at Santa Camp for several years, mentored many aspiring Santas, and was inducted into the NESS Hall of Fame.

David will be remembered for his kindness, humor, and the joy he brought to others. His presence will be deeply missed but forever carried in the memories and traditions of those who loved him.

He is survived by his wife, Kathleen Banks; sons Mark Banks and his wife Kristine, Charles White and his wife Lisa; daughters Shawnna Cashman, Shannon (Banks) McCarron and her husband Stephen; grandchildren Colby White, Conor White, Corbin White, Grace Cashman, Anne Cashman; brother Robert Banks.

A life filled with love, laughter, and meaningful moments is a life beautifully lived, and David’s spirit will continue to shine in every story shared, every tradition kept, and every smile he inspired.

A Celebration of Life service will be held for David on April 4th at 11:00 a.m. at Saint David’s Episcopal Church, 138 York Street, Kennebunk, Maine

Donations in David’s memory can be made to:

IN OUR CARE
Timmie surprised us all by dying on March 4th, 2026. We are still unsure if the surprise was that she died on March 4th or that she lasted until March 4th. given her deep and abiding love for all things chocolate. Either way, her time in this life wrapped up with her daughter by her side and the loving words of her sister and her son in her ear. It was as she hoped: quick, painless, and surrounded by love.

Now that we’ve covered that, let’s talk about her life:

Timmie was born in Hartford, Connecticut, the firstborn of Bassett and Dorothy Hunt. She grew up in Windsor, CT, with her two sisters, Betsy and Martha, where they were known to sing rousing versions of “How Much is that Doggie in the Window” to the critical acclaim of their parents. Timmie’s cousins, sisters, and friends formed a cabal of chaos in the Maple Avenue and Washington Park area, dancing, ice skating, and enjoying all the fun of Windsor in the 1950s.

At a Young Republican gathering, (Timmie would INSIST I mention that it was a different party then and she would tell you the story of how she stood in line with Jim to vote for Kennedy to make sure she cancelled out his vote for Nixon), she met the love of her life, Jim Munroe. Together they raised a wonderful son, Daniel, and an even more wonderful daughter, Jennifer, who is, of course, writing this obituary. (Kidding - we are equally wonderful.) Even though she raised two Generation X children, Timmie never once needed the PSA of “It’s 10 o’clock, do you know where your children are?” She knew…somehow, she always knew…

Timmie and Jim had adventures together, moving from Windsor, Connecticut, to Oxford, Massachusetts, to Cary, Illinois, and back to East Brookfield, Massachusetts, to a home on Lake Lashaway. The time on the lake was punctuated by floats on the four-person inflatable lounger, nicknamed “Fun Island”, with her sister, Betsy, and brother-in-law, Ray. When devastated by the sudden loss of Jim in 1996, Timmie picked up the broken pieces and kept moving forward. Her strength was a source of inspiration. Even completing her bachelor’s degree just a few months after Jim’s death.

Retiring down south was a desire of Timmie’s, and she moved to the Town Shores Community in Gulfport, Florida. There she made many friends, served on committees, and enjoyed the warm weather. When hurricane Helene unceremoniously destroyed the majority of Timmie’s earthly possessions, she bravely moved north to be near her children. Timmie’s final months were spent at Summer Place in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, where she made new friends with residents and staff, enjoying book club, the chorus, and a wicked winning streak at bingo.

Her occupations included: special needs preschool teacher in Oxford, real estate agent in Cary, and office administrator at David Prouty High School in Spencer, Massachusetts, but her real calling was caring for her children. Timmie was always one to support her kids at football and basketball games, theatre productions, and host a multitude of events at the lake house. She encouraged them to continue their education and never hesitated to offer words of encouragement or a stunningly placed guilt trip when needed. When her children married, Dan to Patricia and Jen to Robin, Timmie’s encouragement, love, and, yes, guilt trips expanded to include Trish and Rob. Of course, once her grandchildren, Katie, Parker, and James, were born, her love increased even more. She loved her grandkids and had magical Grammie powers, able to soothe a screaming infant in mere seconds.

Timmie was proud of her family. She never hesitated to brag about her lawyer son and daughter-in-law or her scientist son-in-law. She was hesitant at first about her ordained minister daughter, but only because she was worried about the time and emotional energy involved. She eventually came around, attending and enjoying worship when she could at the various churches Jen served.

We will miss her smile, her laughter, her joy at being lovingly teased by her kids, her advice, and her gripping the handle and making sharp noises through her teeth while we are driving. We will miss her unfiltered comments, her strong opinions, and her telling us to “watch out for wet leaves” while driving. Most of all, we will miss the unconditional love she had for her family.

A memorial service will be held in Windsor, CT, followed by internment next to her beloved, Jim, in what we lovingly call “Fun Island II.” Details to follow.
