By Manuel Avellan
I am happy to announce as a Christian, and sad
as a human, that my dearest wife, Jean I. (Stuart)
Avellan, 79, of Milton, was called Dec. 26 by her
Creator, to continue her journey in eternity. This
is what she dedicated all her life to, trying to comply with his commandments.
Jean was a graduate of Emmanuel College, summa cum laude, from the Universidad Catolica Andres Bello, in Caracas, Venezuela. She graduated with a degree in psychology, and had a master’s degree from the Universidad Simon Bolivar.
She was an excellent wife, lover, so much that someone once said, “she was not a wife, she is a jewel.”
As a mother she dedicated her love and affection, combined with a loving discipline, to teach each one according to his capacity and character. She was so fair that each one of our children told her that she was partial to them more than the others.
She always found time to care for what she called “the little ugly ducks.” In universities, she adopted many of them. She had many adopted daughters and sons that she took under her wing, helping with the appropriate lessons, teaching with love what was wrong, helping with little money, so they could live in a decent neighborhood. Many times they called her in the middle of the night to go to a private hospital, to rescue one of her “adopted children” who did not have the money to pay; we brought them to our house until family came for them. We were so proud of seeing one a few years later, as a happy mother, full of love for her Creator, and blessing my Jean
for it.
Many came to her to ask for advice; that is how she helped many of them. In the university she met a terrorist girl; the last attack was burning a warehouse for films for cinema, from an American company, where the watchman died. This was too much for her, and she came to Jean for advice. Jean took her in as a daughter, turned her to God, and she helped her find a young man of good morals. They married, brought up four children, who were well mannered and very decent; they all graduated from college.
Many of the maids working for our neighbor used to come to our house to ask Jean to teach their children English, philosophy or psychology, or to help pass a high school or college test. I remember Jean telling them, “I will teach you if you want to learn, and if you do, you have to study it all your time. Do all the homework I will give you, or I would not teach you.”
She volunteered to go to psychiatric clinics to
help anyone that needed her help. I remember her
with dozens of pastries to take to her ugly ducks at the clinic. Many of them telephoned her day or night asking for counseling. Many times she had to wake up the resident, telling him to see that one of them did not harm themselves.
She found time to work for the board of directors in the Venezuelan-American University Women. She was in charge of the group “Las Madrinas” (the godmothers). They collect money to send poor, intelligent girls to study in the United States.
Besides her husband, Manuel, she leaves her
children, Joaquin Avellan, and his wife, Emma, of Westwood, Manuel Avellan, and his wife, Marisol,
of Stoughton, and Jean Marie Avellan, of Mexico;
her brothers, Arthur Stuart, of Peabody, and Bruce Stuart, of Burlington; and her grandchildren, Manuel, Joaquin, Andres, Hans, and Ian Avellan. She was the great-aunt of Abby, Carter, Anthony, Christian and Eric Avellan.
A funeral Mass was celebrated held Dec. 31 in St. Elizabeth’s Church. Interment was private. Her ashes were buried in Milton Cemetery.
The family requests prayers in her memory.

Jon Feeney, 85, a life long resident of Boston and Brookline, died at his home in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, on Nov. 24.
He was a proud first generation American whose mother and father emigrated from Carna, County Galway, Ireland during the last century.
Raised in Boston, he graduated from English High School and Boston College.
Mr. Feeney served in World War II, and was commissioned in Corpus Christi, Texas in April 1945. As a First Lieutenant he captained PBJ airplanes and was on his way to Japan when the war ended. His love of planes never stopped. He could look in the sky and explain all the cloud formations and weather patterns.
After the war, he returned to Boston College. He was known to buzz the campus in a plane, where the priest told him, “One more of those fly bys and you’re out of here, Mr. Feeney.”
He longed to see the world. He jumped naval transports and saw San Francisco and other parts of the country.
He was the middle child, adored by his family, especially by his six sisters.
He is survived by his sisters Barbara Wilson, from Centerville, and Patricia Apeland, of Naples, FL. He also leaves 13 nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his sisters Mary Irwin and Margaret Dow of Milton, Anne Dooley, of West Roxbury, and Terri Peek, of New Rochelle, NY.
He was much like his father, Coleman. During the depression, his father was frequently known to ask a co-worker to dinner because he had nowhere else to go, and little or no money.
The legacy continued with Jon. “He’s a good guy”, he would say. “He’s a bit down on his luck”. He would give a helping hand, a check, or arrange dinner with an old friend.
After college, he studied to become an undertaker. He finally found his calling after he left Moore Business Forms, where he was a sales manager. His holdings as president of Feeney and Company grew and prospered. He was savvy, daring, and creative. He expanded his holdings in commercial and residential properties throughout the 70s, 80s, and 90s. With his vision and determination, the company prospered. He routinely took underappreciated properties and transformed them. He bought a former Coast Guard station in Eastern Point, Gloucester. The facility had been abandoned sometime after the war and left derelict. Its novel features included a spiral staircase, and a top floor where guns could jut out from the five-foot thick walls to defend the coast and one could peer out across the Atlantic with binoculars to watch for German U2 boats. He loved Gloucester and made it a showpiece and yet another party place.
Mr. Feeney was a true Irish patriarch. He was a one-of-a-kind stylish gentleman. He could jut out his chin in a stubborn stance. He loved to poke, prod, challenge, and keep us on our toes. But above all, he was easy to forgive.
In a word, you always knew where he stood and what was what. He could tell a joke with a twinkle in his eye, and talk real estate, Wall Street and politics until the cows came home.
He didn’t merely attend all family events; he presided over them. Holidays were extravagant and none more than Thanksgiving and Christmas. He lavished us with presents, but saved the very special gifts for each of his sisters.
A light has not been extinguished, a bonfire has.
A funeral Mass was celebrated at St. Agatha Church on Nov. 29. Interment was in St. Joseph’s Cemetery in West Roxbury.

William H. Tucker, 85, formerly of Milton, an attorney and former chairman of the Interstate Commerce Commission under President Kennedy, died on Nov. 21, surrounded by his family on Cape Cod.
His life was shaped by his service with the 82nd Airborne Division during World War II. Born in Boston, he joined the Army in 1942 following the outbreak of World War II, and made three combat jumps with I-Company of the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 82nd Airborne.
Mr. Tucker had already made a 1943 combat jump at Salerno, Italy, when he parachuted into Sainte-Mere-Eglise in the opening hours of the June 6, 1944 D-Day invasion of Normandy, France.
After serving in the entire Normandy campaign, Mr. Tucker made his third combat jump in September 1944, during Operation Market Garden, the Allied invasion of Holland. Rising to the rank of sergeant, he then fought in the Battle of the Bulge until he was wounded on Jan. 3, 1945, in Fosse, Belgium.
Mr. Tucker was the recipient of the Bronze Star, Purple Heart, Combat Infantryman’s Badge and numerous other World War II campaign medals and decorations.
Francois Gauthier, France’s Consul General to Boston, presented him with the French Legion of Honor, France’s highest military decoration, on July 14 in a ceremony at the Langham Hotel in downtown Boston that was attended by Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick.
Mr. Tucker had a legal career of more than 50 years and served in the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations on the Interstate Commerce Commission, shaping key transportation regulations during the Civil Rights Movement.
But it was his service during World War II, during the liberation of France, that shaped his life and was among his proudest accomplishments. He was particularly honored to receive the French Legion of Honor last summer.
“It’s a wonderful thing to be recognized by the French,’’ he said at the time. “Not as a hero of any kind, but just as one of many guys – good soldiers and sailors all - who worked very hard to defeat the Germans. Just being part of that, the jump (into Normandy) – I think about it all the time. My participation in D-Day as a paratrooper has been the biggest thing in my life.’’
Following his military service, Mr. Tucker attended Boston University on the GI Bill and earned his law degree before starting a law practice in Athol in 1949. Having met a young John F. Kennedy in 1946, Mr. Tucker worked on Kennedy’s Senate and presidential campaigns and was appointed by President Kennedy to the Interstate Commerce Commission in 1960.
He later served as vice-president of the Penn Central Railroad and was a special consultant to the Board of Directors of American Airlines. Mr. Tucker was appointed by President Carter as Commissioner of the National Transportation Policy Commission in 1977, and later served as a U.S. Trustee for the Department of Justice.
During his professional career, Mr. Tucker made numerous trips back to France, Holland and Belgium and wrote four books about his World War II service and his subsequent post-war career, including Parachute Soldier; Rendezvous at Rochelinval; and D-Day, Thirty-Five Days in Normandy.
He was a founding president of the 82nd Airborne Division C-47 Club, which now has chapters throughout the United States and Europe, and was a founding committee member for the Liberation Museum in Groesbeek, Holland, which honors the American paratrooper units that served during the 1944 invasion and liberation of Holland.
Mr. Tucker is survived by his wife, Caroline Tucker; his daughters, Sandra Duggan, of Chicago, and Karen Tucker, of Littleton; two sons-in-law, Jim Barisano and David Paull; and three granddaughters, Kelley Duggan, Kimberly Duggan and Nicole Horst; and a brother, David Tucker, of Westwood.

He served on the USS Sangamon, an aircraft carrier. In his final days, Mr. Mee said “Nobody had a thrill in life until they landed and flew off a carrier.”
Although it was a thrill, it was also dangerous. During the Okinawa campaign, the Sangamon was struck by a Japanese kamikaze. It was a direct hit…flames and shrapnel tore through the flight deck where 36 sailors died and 21 others were wounded. Mr. Mee somehow survived that day, and many other skirmishes. He earned eight navy battle stars and the Presidential Unit Citation.
That would be enough for any man, but his
life was only beginning. He returned home,
married the love of his life, and enjoyed 55 years
of marriage and wonderful times with his family
of nine children, 17 grandchildren, and one great grandchild.
Mr. Mee was a 36-year employee of the
MBTA, retiring as chief schedule maker; as well as
a 50 year employee of the Old Boston Garden.
Additionally, Mr. Mee was a member of the CIA, South Boston.
A lover of sports, he was an accomplished
athlete, in the fields of baseball, football, and track.
He was the past president the of Milton National Little League. Mr. Mee and friend, Jim Donovan
once coached the Milton Babe Ruth National tournament team to sixth place in the country. He mentored and coached countless young baseball players over
the years.
Despite all of these incredible accomplishments, he recently said his most rewarding contribution was providing for his family.
Husband of the late Pauline G. (Manning) Mee, he is survived by his nine children; Gerry Horvet of Milton, Patricia Chamberlain of Plymouth, Kathleen Smith of Marshfield, Genna McManus and Ellen Teahan, both of Norwell, William F. Mee of Norwood, Francis Mee of Billerica, Richard Mee of Hanover and Robert Mee of Dedham, 17 loving grandchildren and one great grand-daughter.

Born in Hyde Park in 1921, she was the only child of Sara Higgins from Galway, Ireland, and Enda Timothy Concannon from Connemara, Ireland. She often used the expression “narrowback,” which is an affectionate slang term for a first-generation American born of Irish parents.
She grew up in the Readville and Corriganville sections of Hyde Park.
In 1936, when she was 14 years old, she went abroad on the steamship S.S. Scythia to Ireland. Little did she know at that time that six-years earlier her future husband emigrated from Killoglin, County Kerry, on the same ship. This was her first trip to Ireland, where she stayed for the summer and met all of her Galway cousins and the large Higgins clan.
She had many close friends. They started out as the “Bachelor Girls” and as they grew older, married and had families of their own, they became known as the “Club Girls.”
Her first job was at the old Woolworth’s 5 and 10 cents store where she worked for 29 cents an hour. Her future husband often stared in the window, gazing at her fondly while on-route delivering groceries.
She graduated from Boston Clerical and prided herself in her grammar and clerical duties. She wrote poems and often read them at get-togethers.

Her life revolved around her family, her church and St. Agatha School. She was very involved in volunteer work.
On St. Patrick’s Day, she cooked Irish and brown breads for friends and family. She would cook for days to prepare for this and thoroughly enjoyed keeping this day holy.
As her children grew older, she found jobs where she could still greet the kids as they came home from school. In the summers, she worked up at Cunningham Park and when the kids were in school, she worked as a bookkeeper at the Milton Bank and Trust in East Milton Square. She also took the town census for a number of years.
She was a gardener and had flower gardens in the summer. She crocheted colorful afghans and quilted many hand-sewed bedspreads.
She was always put herself last after God and family. When the image of Mary appeared on the window at Milton Hospital, she wrote a poem called “Our Lady of Milton” that was published in the Milton Times. She attributes her cancer cure to “Our Lady of Milton.”
She had an interest in people and listened intently to their stories. She was a very warm, sincere, gentle lady with a beautiful smile that could warm any soul. She always saw the positive and good in people and everyone always felt good after seeing and talking with her.
She was the wife of the late John Riordan, and is survived by four sons, John J. Riordan Jr. of Maynard, Thomas P. Riordan of Milton, Edward T. Riordan of Pennsylvania and Dennis M.
