Hampstead, NH:  Michael Mahoney, 62, of Hampstead, NH and formerly of Salem, NH and a long-time resident of Groveland, MA, passed away unexpectedly on December 7, 2021.

Born in Lynn, MA, he was the son of Josephine (Garofalo) Mahoney and the late John Mahoney.  Michael was raised and educated in Lynn and attended Lynn Vocational and Technical Institute and Wentworth Institute.   He proudly belonged to Local 17 in Dorchester, MA starting as a sheet metal worker, then foreman, then CAD designer for multiple trades.  He worked on many Boston hospitals, universities, and sky scrapers.  When he retired in 2013,  he helped found Arete Rehabilitation, Inc. in Salem, NH, with his wife, becoming President, ardent supporter and a beloved member of his company's team.

Michael loved woodworking and made many heartfelt gifts for family and friends.  He loved Aruba, the Pat's, steel drums, anything comedy, his dog Max, tropical heat, driving everywhere and his extended family.  His sense of humor was quick and silly and is one of the many things that will be sorely missed.
