He worked hard all his life, starting in the masonry business at a young age with his father. He launched his own business, Clean Sweep Chimney, and went on to establish Jack Hill’s Outdoor Living. He was very proud of the patios and outdoor living areas he created for many to enjoy.
Jack loved his beautiful daughter, Summer Rose, the apple of his eye and Daddy’s little girl, as well as the Patriots and Red Sox, beach, boating, taking Summer to concerts and vacationing together, skiing, country music, travel, gardening, and his dogs.

If you needed something, Jack was there to help.

In Remembrance: Lauren Victoria Gould

In Remembrance: Lauren Victoria Gould 1985 - 2017
Lauren Victoria Gould, the daughter of Laurence and Kate (Wonson) Gould of Agawam, and the wife of Daniel Nunez of Pasadena, Texas, passed into the hands of our Lord in Heaven on May 31, 2017.
She joined her paternal grandparents, Laurence and Phyllis Gould of Hull, her maternal grandparents, Russell and Mary (Pinkie) Wonson of Gloucester, and her second cousin, Robert Larsen of Hull.
Ms. Gould was born in Abington, Penn., and was raised in Cromwell, Conn., where she graduated from the Cromwell schools, the International Institute of Cosmetology and the Connecticut School of Broadcasting. Ms. Gould briefly taught cosmetology, and later worked in public relations for radio station 104.1-FM in Glastonbury.     
Ms. Gould married Daniel Nunez at Beauport in Gloucester in July of 2013, and the couple lived in Houston and Pasadena, where Ms. Gould worked in public relations for country station 93Q, and as a campaign manager for the Texas Democratic National Party.
Ms. Gould’s friendly, loving and caring nature, bigger-than-life personality, and hilarious sense of humor endeared her to everyone she met.  Her comments on Facebook regarding incompetent politicians and temperamental celebrities were enjoyed by her many followers. She loved her friends and co-workers, and especially adored her many relatives.
In spite of having older parents who raised her to appreciate the classic singers, such as Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Judy Garland, and Perry Como (his version of “With a Song in My Heart” was one of her favorites), Ms. Gould could not get enough of Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana, Morrissey, or Green Day, among others.
Ms. Gould is greatly missed by her parents, and her aunt and uncle, Marie and Randy Gould of Hull Village. She is fondly remembered by a host of Gould and Wonson aunts, uncles and cousins, and by her wonderful husband, Daniel, and his family.
‘Til we meet again...
“But I always knew, I would live life through, with a song in my heart for you.”

Obituary: Pasquale Truglia

Pasquale Truglia, 88
Pasquale Truglia, of Hull, died on May 13. He was 88. 
Patsy, as many knew him, left this world as he lived it – laughing, battling, and finding joy wherever it be. His death came after a long, full life. 
Born in Palermiti, Italy, he survived war-torn Italy during WW II. He then crossed the Atlantic as a teen to start a new life, going on to live in Hull for more than 50 years. Along with his devoted wife of 63 years, Antonietta, he raised two loving daughters. 
In 1991, Pasquale overcame a battle with a brain tumor, to live on in health for 30 more years, seeing his five adoring grandchildren grow and enjoy their time with him.
The simplest pleasures in life brought great joy to Pasquale. He loved working outdoors, landscaping and helping his wife with her plush garden. He loved the company of loved ones, playing games like bocce and horseshoes while telling stories. 
His uncanny ability to find happiness in the little things in life is to be envied, as a smile was never far from his face. 
Survived by wife Antonietta, daughters Maria and Josie, sons-in-law Rosario and Domenic, and five grandchildren, Pasquale Truglia leaves a legacy of love and strength.
Burial will be private. See www.Keohane.com for directions and online condolences.
