Obituary: John M. Burns

John M. Burns 
John M. Burns, of Cohasset, formerly Hull, died on April 19. 
The son of the late Michael and Mary (Lynch) Burns, he was the beloved husband to Charlene (MacIvor) Burns, of Cohasset, for almost 50 years. He was the loving father of Michael Burns and his wife, Paula, of Norwell, and Christine Burns, of Orlando, Fla. He was the cherished “Woo Woo” of grandchildren Colin and Olivia Burns and the brother of the late Michael J. Burns.
John adored his family, loved taking family trips to Walt Disney World, and was passionate about his longtime hobby of surfing. He was a hard worker and was loved by his patients at his dental practice in Hingham, which he owned and operated for more than 40 years.
He will be greatly missed by all who knew him, a social and outgoing individual with a unique sense of humor, whose smile could light up a room.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
