Publish in a newspaper

Mr. Henry J. "Hank" Therrien, Jr., age 75, of Saugus, died on Friday, November 28th at the Tufts Medical Center in Boston following a valiant battle with heart disease. He was the beloved soulmate and husband of John J. Cronin, Jr.
Born in Everett and raised in Malden, Mr. Therrien was the son of the late Henry J. and Adeline (Pannese) Therrien, Sr. Hank & John were introduced by mutual friends at a pre-St. Patrick's Day party in Boston in 1983 and were married in 2013. They lived in Stoneham before moving to Saugus 38 years ago. They also spent time at homes in The Woodlands, TX and Peaks Island, ME. Hank was a retired International Sales Rep. for FedEx.
In addition to his husband, Hank is also survived by his sisters-in-law, Elaine LaRaia and her late husband James and Kathy Cronin and her husband Joseph Tardif; his niece, Laura and her husband James and two great nieces, Olivia and Shania. He is also survived by many cousins and countless friends who shared his love of life. He also loved to travel within the U.S. and enjoyed adventures to Mexico, England, Italy and Portugal.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Hank's memory may be made to the American Heart Association at heart.org so that his legacy can live on to help others affected by heart disease.
