Michael Killian Anderson, Sr.

Michael Killian Anderson, Sr. died on October 17, 2025 after suffering a massive stroke.

Mr. Anderson was born in Quincy, the son of Edward and Margaret (Peg) Anderson, and was the second of seven children. 

Some of his fondest childhood memories brought him back to his Little League days and the time he went to the Ted Williams baseball camp. He attended Atlantic Middle School, graduated from North Quincy High School in the Class of 1966 and joined the Army in 1968.

A proud veteran, Mr. Anderson served his country in Vietnam in 1969 and returned home to build a life full of love, laughter, and good stories. He worked for the telephone company for 44-1/2 years, starting at New England Telephone in 1966.

He married Virginia O’Rourke from Quincy and they started a beautiful family together. Mr. Anderson was very proud of his children and beamed whenever he talked about his family. He loved taking trips to the Cape or Maine during school vacations with Gin and the kids. Whether carving through fresh powder on the slopes, catching sun and the ocean breeze down O Street beach, or outsmarting his opponents in backgammon – his humor and enjoyment of life was infectious.

Mr. Anderson is survived by his wife of 44 years, Ginny Anderson; his daughter Maggie and her husband Eoin Kelly; his son Michael Killian Anderson, Jr. and his wife Tanya (Brophy); and his son Joseph Anderson and his fiancée, Meghan Bennett. He is survived by his five grandchildren; Killian, Adelaide, Vada, Savannah, and Lola; and by his six siblings; Charlie (Pat), Ted (Wendy), Mark, Paul (the late Carolyn), Mary Dolbec (Rob), Katie Gould (Paul), and many loving nieces, nephews, grandnieces, and grandnephews.

Mr. Anderson’s family will be holding a Mass in the spring/summer and a celebration of his life in the weather he loved. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Vietnam Veterans of America (https://vva.org).

Obituary: Elizabeth Anne Strozewski

Elizabeth Anne Strozewski, at 91

With heavy hearts, the family of Elizabeth “Beth” Strozewski, 91, announces her passing on October 16, 2025 with her loving family by her side.

Mrs. Strozewski was born in Boston in 1934 and was the daughter of Harold and Dorothy (Eastman) Dimond. She was a lifelong resident of Hull who grew up in the Worrick Mansion alongside her sister, Jacqueline (Jackie) Dimond Connerty of Ogunquit, Maine, and her late brother, Robert (Bob) Dimond. 

Mrs. Strozewski was the wife of the late Raymond B. Strozewski Sr., her loving husband of 70 years. She is survived by daughters Deborah Anderson of South Easton, Donna and Edward (Ned) Woods of Hull, Laurel and Matthew Cheever of Kingston, and sons Raymond Jr. and Carol Strozewski of Bridgton, Maine, Jeffrey and Denise Strozewski of Braintree, and Michael and Angela Strozewski of Concord, New Hampshire. She was the cherished Nana of 14 grandchildren: Christopher (Jennifer), Scott (Erin), the late Edward III, Jennifer (Ryan), Brian (Veronica), Thomas (Cassandra), David (Nicole), Erica, Kyle (Katee), Zachary (Olivia), Chadwick, Cameron, Nathan (Erin), Jacob; and 12 great-grandchildren: Tatum, Chase, Halle, Brooke, Tyler, Riley, Ashley, Lucy, Calliope, Aiden, Madison, and Callan. 

Mrs. Strozewski graduated from Jeanne d’Arc Academy in Milton and Hingham High School and was employed at the Hull branch of the New England Telephone Company. She met the love of her life and husband-to-be, Ray Strozewski, at his Marine Ball at the Worrick Mansion. They married at St. Mary of the Assumption Church on Green Hill in 1954. Soon thereafter they brought six beautiful children into this world. Mr. and Mrs. Strozewski’s focus on family was their priority. They gathered for a few summers at a cottage on Fearing Pond in Plymouth, where the family enjoyed swimming, fishing, and boating. With six children, there was always something to do. Life was simple back then as the camp had no electricity and everyone used their imagination to keep occupied. Mrs. Strozewski occasionally organized card and board games, took the family blueberry picking at the local Boy Scout camp, and hosted “all you can eat blueberry pancake challenges” with friends nearby. Quiet times were spent finding fireflies and reading while listening to the whippoorwills and tree frogs at night. It was a magical time. Many a day, her children would come home from school to the smell of fresh cookies baking in the oven. 

Mrs. Strozewski was a wonderful artist who enjoyed pencil sketching and oil painting. In earlier years, she bowled and played golf. She was also a member of the Hull Garden Club and spent several years enjoying activities at the council on aging. One of her true passions was gardening. Her nurturing of plants was like that of nurturing her children. She did it with a sense of accomplishment, purpose, and passion. Upon retiring in 1985, Beth and Ray moved to Venice, Florida, for the winter months and summered in Hull. In 2010, they moved back to Hull to spend more time with their family, which was continuing to grow. Mrs. Strozewski was devoted to her husband and family and was always grateful for the life God blessed her with. We as a family will carry on her legacy, hold our heads high, and walk with pride for the beautiful life that she and Dad gave us. Now they are one with God above. 

Services will be attended by immediate family members only, with burial at Massachusetts National Cemetery in Bourne at a future date. As an expression of sympathy in honor of Mrs. Strozewski, the family suggests memorial contributions to the Hull Council of Aging.

Obituary: Raymond Russell Chase

Raymond Russell Chase, at 88

Raymond Russell Chase, known as “Moose,” a lifelong resident of Hull, passed away on August 31, 2025, after a brief illness. He was 88 years old.

Born on February 22, 1937, Mr. Chase grew up in Hull and never strayed far from the town he loved. He graduated from Archbishop Williams High School and went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in business from Boston College. His knowledge and love for business began right after graduation, when he worked at Friendly’s. He then brought this passion locally, managing Jake’s Seafood for his family, which then led to his greatest business venture of all, Schooner’s Restaurant.

Mr. Chase and his beloved wife, Jacqui, opened Schooner’s in 1990. It quickly became more than a restaurant; it was a well-loved Hull establishment. Known by all and loved by many, Schooner’s was a place where generations gathered, memories were made, and Moose’s steady presence could always be felt.

Outside of the restaurant, Mr. Chase enjoyed life’s simple pleasures – trips to the casino, cheering on the Boston Red Sox, a good lobster dinner (where no meat ever went to waste), and relaxing with a game of solitaire or cribbage. He loved cruising around town in his Cadillac or sitting peacefully on his front porch, the very same porch he sat on as a boy and then watched his daughters and grandkids grow up on.

Though a quiet gentleman by nature, Mr. Chase had a gift for storytelling and a great sense of humor. He was especially proud of his two daughters, Katelyn and Jacqulyn, and found his greatest joy in watching his family grow and becoming a grandfather. Mr. Chase also played a special role in the lives of his nieces and nephews, always showing up, always dependable, and always someone to look up to.

He leaves behind a legacy of kindness, loyalty, and strength, and a community that was better for having known him.

Mr. Chase will be remembered as a proud, hardworking, and honest man. His legacy lives on in the warmth of Schooner’s, in the stories shared across tables there, and in the hearts of all who knew him.

Beloved husband of Jacqueline (Rust) Chase; cherished father of Katelyn Chase and her wife, Kelley Chase, and Jacqulyn Greenleaf and her husband, John Thomas Greenleaf. Proud “Grumpa” of Quinn, Sonny, Maddox, Delia, and Bennett, who will dearly miss the ways he used to sneak cookies to them. He was predeceased by his brothers Joe, John, Leo, and Bob. Mr. Chase also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws, and friends.

Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to greet the family during the visiting hours on Thursday, September 4, from 3-7 p.m. in the McDonald Keohane Funeral Home, 40 Sea St., North Weymouth.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held in the funeral home at 9 a.m. on Friday, September 5, prior to the funeral Mass in St. Mary’s Parish in St. Ann’s Church at 10 a.m. Burial in Hull Village Cemetery.

Those who knew her will remember her as a generous and loving person with a strong moral compass. She loved life and followed her bliss. Thank you for everything, Caitlyn. We love you. 

There will be a memorial at 170 Samoset Avenue on Sunday, August 31 at 10 a.m.

Mrs. Coffey was the wife of Frederick Paul Coffey, Jr. They were married on October 27, 1962, in Chagrin Falls, Ohio. Sally and Fred initially raised their family in Hingham. It was while living here that her love of sailing developed. She was a member of the Hingham Yacht Club.

In 1981, Mr. and Mrs. Coffey moved their family to Fort Myers to begin a new business venture. They started Coffey Yacht Charters at Burnt Store Marina on Charlotte Harbor. Many happy years were spent on the water. Mrs. Coffey sold the business after her husband’s death. She then went on to have a successful career in real estate and as an antique dealer.

She later moved back to New England where she resided in Falmouth and Hull, and most recently, Plymouth, N.H.
