John Twombly Obituary
A graduate of Chatham High School, he attended Franklin Institute of Technology in Boston. He owned and operated Rocky Bottom Fish Co. for more than 25 years. He loved spending time on the water and was interested and knowledgeable in history.
His greatest joy was his children, and he took great pride in their accomplishments.
He is survived by his children, Hunter and Haley, and their mother, Kathleen; his beloved mother, Faith; his sister Susan Noakes and her husband, Scott; his brothers, Stephen and wife Christine and Peter and companion Kathy; and several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his father, Howard.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, Oct. 13, 2007, at 1:30 p.m., at the Pilgrim Congregational Church in Harwich Port.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you pass on random acts of kindness.

I will always remember John from 'Cousin's Nite Out' dinners on the Cape....the way he would lean forward listening, with his hands clasped and elbows on the table; the gesturing when he would tell a lonnnggg story; the way he looked at you quizzically;head tilted slightly,raised eyebrow, the slightest smile( as if he didn't quite believe what you were saying!)......I applaud his family for a lovely tribute and thank his friends for their support.I will miss him,Alison

Dear Haley, Hunter, Kathy, Aunt Faith, Susan, Steven and Peter
We will always think of John as the fun loving cousin who took us out on the dune buggy back in 1971 when I was expecting my twins. May God watch over each one of you and give you strength during this time of grieving. Enjoy the good times and share them with each other frequently like a checkbook of memories.
Love, Linda and Tim Twombly,one of the NH Twombly's

I am so sad to read about John's death. I knew him many years ago, in high school, and have never forgotten his fun-loving spirit, or his mother,-who always made room for one more at the dinner table! Most recently, I have come to know his sister-in-law, Christine. My thoughts are with all of you.
