Wyman E. Cogswell, 65, of Nashua, fought with grace and quiet bravery against cancer and on Sunday, February 26, 2017, he died at his home, surrounded by love, laughter and tears.
Born in Brockton, Massachusetts on September 7, 1951, he was a son of the late Wyman E. and Ione D. (Fellows) Cogswell, and the brother of Nancy and Ken Cogswell. He is survived by his wife and true companion, Catherine of 46 years; and his children, John, Erin and Abbe and their spouses, Barbara, Mike Merwede and Billy Crooker.
Lovingly referred to as “Pops” or ”Pa” to his grandchildren, Sydney, Cameron, Ben, Evan, Katie, Mikey, Averie and Sloan. His extended family consists of his wife’s family, nieces, nephews, aunts, cousins, and many wonderful people he called friends.
Wyman worked at Nashua Corporation for many years and finished his career at LSNE in Manchester.
Among the pleasures he counted in his life were hunting, fishing, spending time on his boat and camping at Hermit Island and always the time spent in the company of his family. He held many talents, one of those being a natural gardener. He spent many happy hours in his gardens and his plants were outstanding, his tomatoes among the best and his pumpkins were legendary. He had a knack for bargaining at the flea market, and finding a good deal. To remember him, he suggested that people “take a walk in the woods” to reflect on the happy times that he shared with his family and friends.
Per his request, there will be no formal services. Calling hours for family and friends will be held at the family home at 32 Granite Street, Nashua on Monday, March 6th from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. Burial will be at a later date.
Arrangements are in the care of the FARWELL FUNERAL SERVICE, 18 Lock Street, Nashua. (603) 882-0591. www.farwellfuneralservice.com
