JOHN SAMWAYS Obituary

SAMWAYS, John M. Passed away on March 28, 2022. In his passing, as in his life, his wife of 45 years, Kathleen, was beside him. John was known for his sense of humor, sharp intellect and ability to recount long-ago events to a turn. He was a generous and devoted friend, father, husband and brother. He loved the Yankees, the blues, and his newspapers. He had a truly outstanding mustache. John will be greatly missed by Kathleen (Fresher) Samways; his daughter, Margaret L. Samways and her husband, Jason Page; and his granddaughters Nora and Winnie Page, of London, England; his sister Margaret M. Samways, of Bangor, ME.; and countless in-laws, friends, neighbors, and former customers. John was predeceased by his parents, John Redmond Samways and Helen (Toole) Samways. A Mass of Christian Burial and Interment will be celebrated in early summer. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in John's memory in support of the Frontotemporal Disorders Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital at giving.massgeneral.org/donate
