Harold Shattuck Obituary
He was born in Greenfield on March 2, 1922, the son of George A. and Clara (Smith) Shattuck. Harold graduated from Greenfield High School in 1940.
He worked at Lunt Silversmiths out of high school until he retired in 1990, only to work there part-time for the next several years. His work tenure was interrupted by WWII, where Harold was sent to Osaka, Japan, as an Army radio operator for the artillery, leaving the Army as a sergeant in 1946. In the Army he was awarded the Good Conduct Medal, Victory Medal, Asiatic Pacific Theater Campaign Ribbon and the American Theater Campaign Ribbon. He came back to Lunt's in 1946, where he worked in the cutlery department until his retirement.
Harold was predeceased by his son, Harold L. Jr., "Pug," who was killed in action in the Vietnam War on Father's Day 1969.
He is survived by his wife of 65 years, the former Gladys Sadoski; his son, Steve and his wife Becky; a grandson, Nathan Shattuck of Worcester and his wife Nicole and their two sons, Logan and Dylan; a grandson, Brian Shattuck of Downington, PA, and his wife Ashley and their daughter, Leighton. Harold also leaves several nieces and nephews. He was also predeceased by all of his siblings.
The biggest joy in Harold's life was his family. He cherished visits from all of them and enjoyed traveling to Worcester and Philadelphia to see them.
Harold was a Charter Member of the Green River Bowman's Club along with his wife and was an accomplished archer. He loved to travel to other archery clubs around New England with his family.
At the request of Harold, there will be no calling hours and a private burial at Green River Cemetery will be held at the convenience of his immediate family.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to Hospice of Franklin County, 329 Conway St., Greenfield, MA 01301 (online at www.hospicefc.org) or the Montague Dog Shelter at 413-676-9182.

My sympathy to everyone. My father, wallace, graduated from GHS in 1940 also. I graduated in 1977. I remember in school, teachers, or out on the grounds, or being out and about in town, or when my father talked about things, whenever "Shattuck" was mentioned, it was always in admiration and respect. Plus a special remembrance to Harold, Jr. May your wonderful memories give you strength.
