John Mahoney Obituary

John D. Mahoney, 82, retired Real Estate Attorney and Lincoln resident died on June 12, 2017 at the Massachusetts General Hospital following a brief illness. Eleanor (Davis) Mahoney, his loving wife of nearly 60 years, passed away on July 9, 2017. He was born in Boston on February 18, 1935, the son of the late Cornelius and Elizabeth (Kane) Mahoney. He grew up in the Allston/Brighton area of the city, and was a graduate of Boston University School of Law. Mr. Mahoney practiced at the firm of Goldstein, Mahoney & Levin in Boston, prior to his retirement. He was a talented athlete who qualified for the 1956 U.S. Olympic Team in Speed Skating. His agility allowed him to participate in barrel jumping, a difficult feat in the sport. Mr. Mahoney was the founder of the Friends of Boston University Hockey and also initiated the New England Junior Hockey League. He also represented the league for the 1980 Olympic Committee in Colorado Springs. In 1970, he built the Olympia Ice Center in Springfield, Mass. A resident of Lincoln since 1970, he was a lifelong, avid golfer and a member of Wayland Country Club. He is survived by two sons, Reihl Mahoney and his wife Sheryl of Lexington and Squire Mahoney and his wife Pam of Douglas, his grandchildren, Jack, Alec, and Sabrina Mahoney, all of Lexington, and his siblings, Peggy Ring and Betty Crawford. He was also the brother of the late Edward Mahoney, Neil Mahoney, and Evelyn Duke. A celebration of John and Eleanor's lives is planned for September with family and friends. Arrangements are under the care of the Dee Funeral Home of Concord.To share a remembrance in his online guestbook, please visit www.deefuneralhome.com.

First met Mr. Mahoney in 1977 my first year I played for the Springfield Olympics in the New England Junior Hockey League. I remember him telling us stories about speed skating, and coming to the Olympia to demonstrate his skills as a speed skater. He was always a gentleman. Sorry for your loss.
