Brendan Duhaime

Brendan Duhaime of Bolton, age 8, beautiful son of Marianne Savage and Scott Duhaime, dearly loved brother of Catherine and Sarah. Brendan was diagnosed with a brain tumor in November 2009, and though the tumor weakened his body, it did not destroy his spirit, intelligence or his gift for negotiation. He is survived by grandmothers Frances Savage of Melrose and Roberta Duhaime of Weston, along with many loving uncles, aunts, cousins, friends and Mommy Cassie. As a 2nd grade student at Florence Sawyer School in Bolton, Brendan will be remembered for his passions: fish, fishing, the ocean, and a love for all animals. After a private ceremony at Tighe-Hamilton Funeral Home, 50 Central Street, Hudson, (www.tighehamilton.com), Brendan will be interred at West Cemetery on Green Road, on a hilltop overlooking the High School. There will be a public celebration of Brendan's life at The International in Bolton, 159 Ballville Road, Bolton, on Thursday, June 23, at 5 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Brendan's name to the Make a Wish Foundation of Massachusetts, One Bulfinch Place, 2nd Floor, Boston, MA 02114 or The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, The Hole in the Wall Gang Fund, 555 Long Wharf Drive, New Haven, CT 06511.
