Hingham Journal Obit

​Born in Boston on July 19, 1934, John Young loved Hingham and his South Shore friends.  As a child in days before air conditioning, his parents Charles and Pauline Young would drive from their home in Quincy, through Hingham, to their summer cottage in Hull with children John, Helen (Dolan), Charles, and Ann (Hatton) and Mary, (both now deceased). On every commute, young John would dream of owning the big white house on the hill overlooking the ocean on Otis Street. At the age of 42, John and the love of his life Donna (Coffey) purchased this dream home, but rented it out for close to a decade while John was the Managing Director of the Brazilian Plant for Cabot Corporation and Director of Finance for Cabot Europe. John and Donna then enjoyed Hingham and dear friends for over 30 years. John loved watching ships sail by, storms roll in, and the ocean’s calm. His spirit lives on in children Pauline (Rush), Stephanie (Rosen), and John (Jake), in-laws Joe Rush, Jory Rosen, Darragh Fitzsimons, 8 grandchildren, and nephews & nieces. We'll celebrate a funeral mass in 2022 at St. Paul's Church. More on John's wonderful life at www.evergreenmortuary-cemetery.com/obituaries/John-Young-86/
