In Memoriam	Thomas E. Dent	11/15/2022
Husband, father, grandpa, friend, counselor; Tom was many things to all numbers of people. There was no denying the twinkle that always shone through his eyes. His humor and love were clearly visible through those portals to his soul. He could be feisty, but then can't we all. Although Tom was born in Portland, OR he spent most of the years of his youth growing up in Gresham, OR. His passions were history, genealogy and Volkswalking, where he met his wife Joy. Tom made it his goal to walk all 50 states of the union which he did. He loved to share his knowledge and you better be listening because he would quiz you on what you retained from the wealth of information he would pass on to you. Tom discovered a love for cruise ship touring with his wife Joy and they traveled to many corners of the world enjoying and discovering new places and the adventures that cruising brought to them after retirement. He graduated with a bachelor's degree from the University of Oregon in 1958. In 2010 during the senior part of his life, he achieved a Master's Degree in Military History from Norwich University. This was a very proud moment for him. Tom retired as a commissioned major from the US Army. Tom leaves behind his wife of 28 years Joy Dent, and five children: Valerie Dent, Thomas E. Dent Jr., Bonnie Barker, Susan Lampley and Kelsey Jones. Tom's extended family through Joy, Todd and Lisa Duvall, along with their children and grandchildren were very loved by him. Tom would want to say something special to Marilyn McGovern for all the love she gave of herself for many years to both he and Joy. Tom Jr.'s wife Eileen Dent has also been a source of support and of love to both Tom and Joy. Tom had acquired so many friends and acquaintances throughout his life it would be his wish to say something special for each of them but that might entail writing a book. Extreme thanks go out to Tom's team of Hospice workers from Kaiser. They developed close relationships and went above and beyond to help Tom as he moved on to his next journey.

In Memoriam	Richard W. Hartnett	1/17/2022
Richard W. "Rick" Hartnett December 26, 1948 - November 7, 2022 AIKEN, SC - Mr. Richard W. "Rick" Hartnett, 73, beloved husband of Ann D. Hartnett passed away Monday, November 7, 2022. Richard "Rick" Wilson Hartnett was his parents' best Christmas present, arriving on December 26, 1948. His parents, Donna Hartnett and Richard "Dick" F. Hartnett resided in Winthrop, Massachusetts at the time of his birth and after that welcomed his two younger sisters, Nancy Hartnett Thatcher and Lisa Hartnett. Rick was a lively child who enjoyed playing practical jokes on his siblings and parents and he developed his love for horses early on, with a pony also named Ricky. As a teenager, Rick worked for Donald "Don" J. Little, who introduced him to the game of polo. Although left-handed, Rick quickly rose through the ranks to become one of the highest-rated players at Myopia Hunt Club, in Hamilton, Massachusetts. At age 13, he was featured as an athlete to watch by Sports Illustrated. Rick's illustrious but brief show business career included teaching Steve McQueen how to play polo and appearing in the original "The Thomas Crown Affair," released in 1968. Along with fellow hell raisers, Peter Poor and David Roberts, Rick continued to play competitive polo, break hearts and generally engage in shenanigans all over the Northeast. Rick ultimately reached a handicap of 4 goals, which he retained for over 20 years. Rick graduated from Hamilton Wenham Regional High School and then Norwich University, as an Army officer, with a degree in Business Management. Rick attended Officer Training School at Fort Benning, Georgia. By Vietnam's end, Rick was never deployed and found himself back home in Hamilton earlier than planned. Don Little recommended to Rick that he join the training program at Kidder Peabody, where Don also worked. Rick subsequently earned his Series 7 and several additional securities licenses over his very successful five decades in the securities business. It was at Kidder Peabody where Rick met Gynna Gutshaw, whom he married in 1973. Together they welcomed daughters Taryn Elizabeth Hartnett in 1975 and Britten Knauer Hartnett in 1977. Rick and Gynna subsequently divorced and Rick married Ann Durbin Fawcett, welcoming son Richard "Willie" Wilson Hartnett in 1981. Thereafter, Rick purchased the property that would be named Mill Pond Farm, in Rowley, Massachusetts. Rick's love for mowing grass, moving sprinklers, and raking leaves were constantly on display at the Farm. Rick was a wonderful horse show father who would rise at the crack of dawn on weekend mornings to spend innumerable hours at horse shows, roasting in the sun, freezing in the cold, or soaking in the rain. He was deeply devoted to his children and his grandchildren, and he would force anyone he could to watch videos of them. Rick was also very fond of calling people early in the morning, always being an early riser, and leaving long, meandering voicemails that would always bring a smile to the recipients. Rick served as Captain of Polo at Myopia Hunt Club. He continued playing the sport at historic clubs such as Saratoga Polo Club, Millbrook Polo Club, Greenwich Polo Club, Palm Beach Polo and Country Club, amongst others. Rick was a force to be reckoned with on the field. He never saw a line that wasn't his. Playing polo with his son, Willie, was one of Rick's greatest pleasures. Rick's string of polo ponies was admired wherever he played. He was an active member of the United States Polo Association, including serving as Vice Chairman and Handicap Chairman. In his later years, Rick retired from playing polo but was an invaluable cheerleader and coach to Willie and his son-in-law Avery Chapman. Rick's love of horses never waned. In 2002, Rick purchased a property in Aiken, South Carolina, which he developed into a beautiful polo and equestrian turn-out facility, and to where he eventually retired. Rick loved talking to strangers, laughing and above all, his family. He will be remembered for his big heart, incredible sense of humor, dry and acerbic wit, long-winded stories, and legendary dance moves. Rick was predeceased by his father, Dick and daughter Britten Hartnett Tyler. He is survived by his mother, Donna, sisters Nancy and Lisa, wife Ann, his step-son Courtney Fawcett, step-daughter-in-law, Heidi Sawyer Fawcett, daughter Taryn, son-in-law Avery Chapman, granddaughter Gray, son-in-law Wat Tyler III, grandson Wat Tyler IV, granddaughter Lila Tyler, son Willie, daughter-in-law Katy Moore Hartnett, and grandsons Winfield and Fletcher. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Rick's honor to the Britten Hartnett Tyler Foundation (https://brittybash.com/donate) or the Vinceremos Therapeutic Riding Center (https://www.vinceremos.org). A Celebration of Life is being planned for January 2023 and additional details will be provided shortly. SHELLHOUSE FUNERAL HOME, INC., 924 HAYNE AVE., AIKEN, SC 29801

In Memoriam	Michael D. Short	11/3/2022
On November 3rd, 2022 Michael D. Short Sr. 73, passed away due to a heart attack. His passing was sudden and a shock to his family and friends.

Recently they've been snow birds traveling between their family homes in North Carolina and Maine.

We'll always remember the life lessons he taught us and the donuts every Sunday morning. We'll also remember the countless Boy Scout trips, fishing on Great Pond, and not-so-fun times cleaning up the yard in our childhood home in Medfield, MA. He was quite the Dad. Mike was a lifetime civil servant who spent his childhood traveling with his father, John Short, and family throughout the world for the US Army. He was extremely proud of being a Norwich University graduate. Mike spent his career first as a 1LT in the US Army Signal Corp, then as a Contract Administrator for the Department of Defense, while also a LTC in the Massachusetts National Guard. He was a passionate American who cared deeply about our country. Mike "Dad and Pa" Short loved his time most of all in Maine, sitting with Claudia on the deck by Great Pond or playing with his granddaughters.

Dorothy Ann (D'Ann) Ippolito, 79, of Livingston, NJ, passed away on September 7, 2022 following a lengthy illness. D'Ann was born on the 13th of November in1942. Her loving parents, Karl and Dorothy (nee Bergman) established the family roots in Livingston upon Karl's return from service in World War II. D'Ann graduated from Livingston High School in the class of 1960 where she met the love of her life, Patrick Ippolito. D'Ann graduated from Vermont College in 1962 with a major in Elementary Education. Her teaching career began at New Canaan Country Day School in Connecticut followed by forty six years teaching third grade at Far Brook School in Short Hills. With her heart and soul in teaching, "Mrs. Ipp" was devoted to her students. Her passion for learning positively impacted thousands of students during her career. She was a favorite teacher because she made every child feel important and special. D'Ann formed many meaningful relationships with students, parents, faculty and staff and was greatly admired for a classroom that was colorful, creative, comfortable and fun. Her favorite subject was the culture and history of the Native Americans and her classroom was filled with artifacts, projects and traditions that reflected years of student, parent and teacher contributions to the lore of that culture. D'Ann married Pat in 1964 and they celebrated 58 years of happiness, mutual respect and abundant good times filled with laughter. Throughout her illness, Pat was D'Ann's rock and supported her with tender loving care. D'Ann is survived by her husband and partner for life, Patrick Ippolito together with their son, Christopher and daughter Meridith. She was blessed with two granddaughters, Amelia Davis, of Meridith and Ron and Kathryn Ippolito of Chris and Janet. D'ann is also missed by her sisters, Beverly Desch and Arlyne Ball, her brother in law Peter Desch, and many friends and cousins. Her nieces will never forget the gift of being let into the magic space that was Dee Dee. Of all her accomplishments, D'Ann considered being a mother and grandmother her crowning achievements. She taught her children the importance of traditions such as summer at the Jersey shore, trips to Skytop Lodge, Christmas Eve on Crescent Road, birthdays, weddings and for all those events she invoked the supreme challenge, what she called "the command performance." A lifelong resident of Livingston, D'Ann left her mark as a volunteer at St. Barnabas Medical Center and Hospice. She was also a member of the Livingston Women's Club, Rosary Society, and UNICO. Her strong faith enabled her to serve as a Eucharistic minister for St. Philomena Catholic Church. In addition, D'Ann dedicated time and energy to many local organizations and causes. D'Ann leaves a large hole in the hearts of her family and friends who were always entertained by her stories, hospitality and willingness to help others. She was a warm, friendly, loving and generous person who will be remembered for her enduring positive attitude. If riches are counted in friendships, D'Ann would be truly wealthy. The family wishes to thank the many friends and Hospice for filling her final weeks with joy and love. A Mass of Christian burial will be held at St. Philomena Church on Saturday, September 10, 2022 at 10:00am.

In Memoriam	Martin E. McKinley	10/23/2022
Martin E. McKinley, US Army Retired, age 89, passed away peacefully at his San Antonio, Texas home on Sunday, October 23, 2022. Marty, as his many friends knew him, was originally from Brooklyn, New York. He was born to Teresa McKinley and the senior Martin E. McKinley. His parents divorced when he was very young, and while his mother was working, Marty attended boarding schools and summer camps. During his high school years, he lived with his Aunt Jo and Uncle Ben while attending high school in Liberty, New York. He played many sports, including baseball, basketball, and football, and made life-long friendships. Marty met his late wife, Nancy, in high school. He attended Norwich University (Norwich, Vermont) in the early 1950s. After obtaining an undergraduate degree from Norwich University, Marty attended graduate classes at Columbia University (New York, New York), focusing on Russian history. He later married Nancy in June of 1956 and then joined the United States Army Armor Corps, where he proudly served for 30 years. He served in the 11th Cavalry Armor Regiment in the 1960s and commanded a tank battalion in the 2nd Armored Division ("Hell on Wheels") in Ft. Hood, Texas, in the mid-1970s. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, Marty served in various positions at the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and retired as a Colonel in 1985. His proudest days in the military occurred when he spent time with "his troops". Marty was deployed to [South] Korea twice, first in the late 1950s and later in the early 1980s. He was also deployed to [South] Vietnam twice and served with the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment during the conflict/war there in the late 1960s (as a Platoon Leader), and again in the early 1970s. He spent over four years in service away from his family, which saddened him to recall, but overall, he enjoyed his career and loved the Army communities and close friendships. Marty and Nancy were stationed in Germany, Fort Knox, Kentucky, Ft Hood, Texas, and Fairfax, Virginia, and moved during retirement to San Antonio, Texas. Together they raised two daughters, Tracy and Liz. Marty and Nancy were married for 49 years before Nancy passed in May 2005. After Marty retired, he attended George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, where he earned a master's degree in history. Marty was an avid "history buff" and was particularly interested in studying battles and reading letters of the United States Civil War soldiers. Marty also enjoyed playing golf when his back allowed, and he had many golfing buddies in northern Virginia and San Antonio and several friends that were fellow San Antonio Spurs basketball team fans. Marty enjoyed gardening, playing sports, and watching and attending games. He also enjoyed traveling and cruising. Marty was an animal lover and a people lover with a big heart; compassionate but fun-loving, Marty liked to jokingly tease people yet seemed to get away with it after rewarding his victims with a winning, dimpled smile. He was always volunteering to help young and old people and was particularly supportive of the "underdog", often defending against unfairness or mistreatment. Marty lived happily in the Army Residence Community in San Antonio, Texas (affectionately known as the A.R.C) for the past 21 years. He made many close friends here and volunteered for as many years in the A.R.C. Golden K Kiwanis Club in various roles, including President and Secretary. Marty was active in fundraising for the Kiwanis scholarship fund, which helps the A.R.C. staff, healthcare aids, and their children/dependents pay for vocational and college classes. Marty was glad to contribute his time to mentor and assist others with their education and career goals. Marty met his second wife, Barbara, at the Army Residence Community. They married in April 2017 and were together for over five years before he passed. Barbara, a former Army nurse and a retired Army Colonel also, is credited with helping Marty live longer than he would have otherwise. She made his last years comfortable and happy, filled with more gardening, games, travel, fun activities, companionship, friendship, and love. Marty had a wonderful, long, and happy life. He was lucky and blessed and often said, "I can't complain"! Marty is survived by his wife, Barbara, two daughters, two grandchildren, and several cousins.
