Born in Holstein, Germany, into a family of small businesspeople and farmers, Mr. Hamann was a German Naval Officer and spent 1940-1946 as a prisoner of war in Canada. Having earned his degree in agriculture back in Germany after World War II, he emigrated to Canada with his physician wife, Christa, and infant son, Claus. They started their life in North America on his beloved Vancouver Island where he worked as a farmhand. He moved his young family to Montreal where he became sales manager for an agricultural chemical company and Claus and Christa's daughters, Ingrid and Evelyn, were born. In the late 1950's, he joined Canadian Hoechst Corporation where he was recognized for his work ethic and integrity as an honorable businessman. Promoted to the American Hoechst Corporation in New Jersey in 1965, and during the 1970's to Executive Vice-President for North America, he used his compassion for all he came in contact with to unify American and German business cultures in the chemical and pharmaceutical sector, and his passion for golf to solidify those relationships. He balanced work and family life with similar dedication and love. Claus was widowed in 1981 after 33 years of marriage, and moved from Basking Ridge NJ, the family home for 31 years, to the Fox Hill Retirement Community in Westwood MA in 1997. He spent many active years with family and friends, pursuing his love of golf and travel and maintaining close personal ties in North America and Europe. Claus endeared himself to new and old friends with his story-telling and humor, and adapted to aging with determination and grace. He is survived by his children Claus Hamann of Canton MA, Ingrid Hamann-Stokes of Portland OR, and Evelyn Hamann-Edwards of Lake Oswego OR and their families, and by devoted nieces, nephews and friends. We are all grateful for his long and fulfilled life. Mr. Hamann was buried in Mendham, New Jersey.

William T. Cushwa

William T. Cushwa 1919 - 2010 SOUTH HADLEY - William Tucker Cushwa, 91, died peacefully November 11, 2010 at the Holyoke Health Care Center. Bill was an inspiration to family and friends through his love of the outdoors, his spirit of adventure, and his leadership and guidance. Bill was born February 21, 1919, in Exeter, N.H. His father, Frank W. Cushwa, was the Odlin Professor of English at the Phillips Exeter Academy, where he taught from 1909 to 1939. His mother was Elizabeth Tucker Cushwa, daughter of Dr. William Jewett Tucker, president of Dartmouth College from 1893 to 1909. Bill graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy in 1937 and Harvard University in 1941. He started his career at Procter & Gamble in Cincinnati, Ohio. Upon the attack of Pearl Harbor, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy, which sent him to M.I.T. for radar training. He served as the radar officer aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise and attained the rank of Senior Grade Lieutenant. His experiences in the Pacific naval battles of World War II left him a lifelong pacifist. After his discharge in 1946, Bill returned to Proctor & Gamble and a year later moved to Amherst, NH where he worked for the Nashua Corporation. In 1952 Bill joined the Plastic Coating Corporation in South Hadley, MA where he worked for 26 years first as a research and development chemist and then as the Production Manager. After retiring in 1977, Bill worked for five years on the Mount Holyoke College grounds crew and then volunteered as a warehouseman and driver for the Western Mass Food Bank until 1989. Bill was blessed with three wonderful marriages. While Bill was in Cincinnati, he met Catharine (Katy) White of Sharon, Pa.

They married in 1959. Bill adopted her son, Ben, and Barbara adopted Bill's five children. Barbara died of leukemia in 1992. Bill married longtime family friend Peggy Lancaster in 1993. Peggy died in 1998. Bill had a great passion for the outdoors. Throughout his life, he was an avid sailor, from the small boats he would sail as a boy at the family's summer home in Harwichport, MA to the larger trips he would later enjoy aboard such vessels as the ketch Angelique and the windjammer American Eagle, sailing the waters of the Northeast and the Caribbean. Bill and Barbara shared an avid interest in white water canoeing, and were active in the Berkshire Chapter of the Appalachian Mountain Club, serving as chairs and leading 25 canoe-camping trips on rivers across the U.S. and Canada. Bill also went on18 Elderhostel trips, including exploring Costa Rica, rafting the Columbia River in Oregon, and cruising the fjords of Alaska. Bill passed on his love of outdoor recreation - sailing, skiing, hiking, canoeing, bicycling - and encouraged many into active and conservation-minded pursuits. Bill is predeceased by his wives, as well as his daughter Elizabeth Hart and grandson Thomas Hart of Glastonbury, CT who both died in 1980. His sister, Charlotte Clark, died last year in Harwich, MA. Bill is survived by five of his six children and their families: son Ben Dawson and wife Rose White, and grandchildren Geoff and Megan Dawson of Wellesley, MA; daughter Pegotty Cooper and husband Randy of Tampa FL; son Frank Cushwa and wife Rhonda, and grandchildren Adrian Cushwa, Birdie Cushwa and partner Nick Joseph, and Sarah Divine and great-grandson Nathaniel Divine of Sheffield, MA; son Tom Cushwa and partner Jean Wasil of New York, NY; daughter Charlotte Buijnarowski and husband Tony, and granddaughter Cady Kubic of South Hadley, MA.

Having earned his degree in agriculture back in Germany after World War II, he emigrated to Canada with his physician wife, Christa, and infant son, Claus. They started their life in North America on his beloved Vancouver Island where he worked as a farmhand. He moved his young family to Montreal where he became sales manager for an agricultural chemical company and Claus and Christa's daughters, Ingrid and Evelyn, were born. In the late 1950's, he joined Canadian Hoechst Corporation where he was recognized for his work ethic and integrity as an honorable businessman. Promoted to the American Hoechst Corporation in New Jersey in 1965, and during the 1970's to Executive Vice-President for North America, he used his compassion for all he came in contact with to unify American and German business cultures in the chemical and pharmaceutical sector, and his passion for golf to solidify those relationships. He balanced work and family life with similar dedication and love. Claus was widowed in 1981 after 33 years of marriage, and moved from Basking Ridge NJ, the family home for 31 years, to the Fox Hill Retirement Community in Westwood MA in 1997. He spent many active years with family and friends, pursuing his love of golf and travel and maintaining close personal ties in North America and Europe. Claus endeared himself to new and old friends with his story-telling and humor, and adapted to aging with determination and grace. He is survived by his children Claus Hamann of Canton MA, Ingrid Hamann-Stokes of Portland OR, and Evelyn Hamann-Edwards of Lake Oswego OR and their families, and by devoted nieces, nephews and friends. We are all grateful for his long and fulfilled life. Mr. Hamann was buried in Mendham, New Jersey.

Thanks to the expert care and round the clock efforts and devotion of Dr. Craig Bunnell and the wonderful caring staff at Dana she was able to spend over two years living and enjoying a quality life with her husband while fighting this awful disease. She and Bill will be forever grateful and devoted to Dr. Bunnell and all of the wonderful people at Dana Farber. From their care and compassion, she was able to flourish in the time she was given. She will be deeply missed by her loving and devoted husband and soul mate, Bill (William J. Vigneux, DMD), with whom she spent 19 wonderful years marriage, during which they enjoyed life together immensely and travelled extensively.
