Armin Burdick
HopkintonIndependent.com
Armin Lewis Burdick, 27, of Millis, passed away April 29 as a result of an automobile accident. Born in Boston, he was the son of Betsabeh Ghazian and George Burdick of Southborough, and father to Elora Burdick, age 2.Armin attended the Faith Community Church in Hopkinton with his dad. He was on his journey in Christ. A baptism for late spring/early summer was discussed.
Armin went to Clyde Brown Elementary and Millis Middle School before attending Westborough High School and Swift River Academy in Cummington. He returned to Westborough after 18 months at Swift River to graduate from Westborough High in 2013. Armin attended Key West Community College, where he earned his open water scuba certification. Soon after he worked for his father at Merrill Lynch as an intern/associate.
Armin, however, decided his calling was working with his hands. Last year he landed his dream job at a prestigious landscape architecture firm, R.P. Marzilli of Medway. Armin was popular with his co-workers, who are “devastated” by his loss. Armin was on his way to a work site when the accident occurred.
He was loved by those who knew him for his personable nature, mischievous smile and humor. His playful humor was best illustrated on April 26, during a Sunday visit to pick up Elora to go to the local park. He hid in the bushes and sprang out as she was being walked out for the visit, evoking screams from both Grandpa and Elora.
When Armin wasn’t working or visiting Elora, he enjoyed working out at 24 Hour Fitness in Medway and Ashland (close to Elora). He traveled with his father to Dover, New Hampshire, last year, earning his USA Weightlifting Level 1 certification over a two-day period at Everproven Crossfit. He liked helping others in the gym and was in the process of studying for his Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) designation.
Armin valued his childhood friendships in Millis formed through soccer but particularly Pop Warner football that culminated in a championship. Through middle school, although enrolled in Millis, he played soccer for the Westborough Lazers as they achieved a perfect record. He attended Westborough Cub Scout pack and graduated to Boy Scout.
Armin loved the outdoors, especially fishing and camping. He went on many trips with the Scouts and with his father camping. He enjoyed the many pontoon boat rides on Long Lake in Maine with his grandparents. One year even his beloved uncles Dar and Hooman visited, partaking in boat rides and hot tub soaking.
He visited his grandparents in Florida for Christmas through the years until they sold their home a few years ago. He went on a cruise with his mother and traveled to Europe with her to visit relatives when he was young child. His love of outdoors and adventure reached an apex in 2006 when he went on a 10-day Africa safari with his dad. In fact, he recounted his visit to Tanzania and Zanzibar in a class presentation.
Armin’s life can’t be complete without discussing the light of his life, Elora. She has brown eyes with curly hair like her dad, and orange-reddish hair with beautiful skin like her mom, Noelle. Elora is sassy and likes to be silly, it’s not hard to figure out where that came from.
God, his grandmother (Moman), grandfather and unfortunately even a couple of friends who also were gone far too soon will be entertained by Armin in heaven. He is at peace in a beautiful tapestry of unending landscapes perfected by our father for him to enjoy. To you, Armin, we say, “May we be so lucky to meet your kind soul in heaven, with much love from your family and friends.”
Arrangements are being held privately and are under the care of the Chesmore Funeral Home of Hopkinton.
Arthur Lane
Arthur L. Lane, 93, of Hopkinton passed away May 8 following a short battle with COVID-19. Born in Saint Clairsville, Ohio, he was the son of the late Goldie and Christopher Lane. He was the husband of 71 years to Ann (Mead) Lane of Hopkinton.
Arthur was a Navy veteran of WWII, having served as seaman first class on the USS Bulmer, USS Providence and USS Rochester. He was a retired MBTA Transit Operator and also enjoyed working as a carpenter. His favorite hobbies were hunting and fishing.
Besides his wife, Arthur is survived by five children, Richard A. Lane of Nottingham, New Hampshire, James C. Lane and his wife, Kathleen, of Southborough, Paula Lane of Townsend, Carolyn Freedman and her husband, David, of Upton, and David Lane and his wife, Mary, of Townsend.

Christos Papadellis
On May 5, Christos S. Papadellis, loving husband of Niki and father of Randy C. and Louis C., passed peacefully in his home of 56 years after a short illness.
Born Aug. 13, 1922, in the village of Anemotia on the island of Lesvos, Greece, the youngest of five children, Chris left home at age 12 to become an apprentice in a men’s clothing store while attending school in the island’s capital of Mytelene. After helping protect his family during the Nazi occupation of the island, he joined the Greek National Army, fighting against the communist forces in Greece. He returned from the army and married “the girl almost next door,” Niki, and immigrated to the United States. With $17 in his pocket, he went through Ellis Island and landed in Framingham, where his beloved sister Eukratia lived. Eventually, after a year, he made enough money to send for his wife to join him.
After the birth of his two sons, he intended to move back to his home country. In 1963, however, he and Niki opted to stay in the United States, which provided better opportunities for the family — especially their children. Doing what was best for his family would be a constant goal throughout Chris’ long life.
From the late 1950s until 1981, Chris owned and operated the Frosty Tee on Route 9 in Natick. In 1968 he expanded his operation, opening the Tasty Treat on Route 135 in Ashland. He then expanded his business holdings to include real estate, such as the Union Village across the road from Tasty Treat — a property he owned and managed up until his death. Several well-known restaurateurs as well as hundreds of teenagers and young adults started their careers working for Chris in both of his operations.
He was predeceased by his parents, Sarandis
and Evangeline, his siblings, Eukratia, Julia, George and Stratos and their spouses.He leaves his wife of 69 years, Niki, his sons, Randy (Cathy) and Louis (Laura), both of Hopkinton, four grandchildren, Anne Elizabeth, Christopher, Christian and Alexa Papadellis, and many nieces and nephews in both Greece and the United States.
The family is extremely appreciative of the Sts. Anargyroi Greek Orthodox Church community, especially Fr. Gregory Christakos, who provided much love and support to him in his later years.
At this time, funeral services (under the care of the Matarese Funderal Home of Ashland) will be for family only, with hope of a memorial service to honor Chris’ rich life at a future date. In lieu of flowers, one may make a contribution in the name of Christos Papadellis to the Sts. Anargyroi Capital Campaign, P.O. Box 381, Marlborough, MA 01752.
Chuck Woods
Charles (Chuck) Woods passed away on April 30 in Hopkinton at an assisted living facility. He lived with frontal-temporal dementia for a number of years and finally succumbed to COVID-19. His death was peaceful and comfortable, thanks to his hospice workers.
Chuck lived with his wife Trish for 38 years in Stow. He grew up as an only child in Arizona, went to Pomona College in California, then came east to get a Ph.D. in physics at Harvard. He worked for 30 years for the Air Force Defense Research Lab at Hanscom Field, where he and his team got a number of awards for their achievements.
He and his wife enjoyed playing music together and initially met while playing in an orchestra in Cambridge. In his retirement he raised vegetables at the Stow Community Gardens and also raised some chickens at home.
He was predeceased by his daughter, Erin, and leaves his wife, Trish, and son, Kyle. He became a favorite with his caregivers at Golden Pond over the last three years. They loved his smile and good humor. They became family for him and were with him at the end.
Arrangements are with Callanan Cronin Funeral Home in Hopkinton. After cremation, there will be a private burial in the family plot at Brookside Cemetary in Stow.
David Pierson
David W. Pierson, 72, of Hopkinton passed away April 27 at Milford Hospital afterthree years at Golden Pond Assisted Living. Born Sept. 11, 1947, in Waterbury, Connecticut, he was the son of the late Edith (Wilber) and David D. Pierson. He lived most of his life in his home in Maynard.
Raised in Woodbury Connecticut, Dave was involved in Scouting, 4-H, and building, tinkering with and fixing all manner of things, particularly electrical or mechanical. After graduating from Waterbury Technical College, he moved to Massachusetts where he worked for Digital Equipment Corp., building and maintaining computers for 30 years, traveling to Scotland and Moscow. After DEC closed, he joined the USPS, initially delivering mail and later applying his talents as a technician maintaining large mail sorting machines.
An avid railway fan, he gathered with friends on Sunday mornings to watch trains. His home, a museum of the history of all things mechanical, electronic or military, was filled with books and ephemera documenting the development of the modern age. Collections of yankee push screwdrivers, vintage radios, phonographs, electrical meters, operation/technical manuals for early diesel-electric locomotives and signal equipment, postcards and even early vintage computers reflected his fondness for flea markets. Items from his shelves now are in the collections of the New England Museum of Wireless and Steam in Greenwich, Rhode Island, and the Boston Museum of Science. Photography was another hobby, resulting in a modest collection of antique cameras, both 8 mm and still.His library included near-complete collections of Tom Swift and the Hardy Boys.His interests in print ranged from comic books to the Proceedings of American Institute of Electrical Engineers. Miscellany included early TV and radio equipment, parts, pieces, technical drawings, diagrams and manuals, all of which he had mentally cataloged. He could tell you just where to find whatever might satisfy your interest.
David was an avid and expert fireworks enthusiast. He edited the newsletter of the New Hampshire Pyrotechnics Association for many years. He tried never to miss the annual conventions of the Pyrotechnics Guild International (PGI), traveling west from New England on his motorcycle. At these meetings he was much more than a spectator, pitching in wherever there was work to be done, entertaining the crew with jokes along the way. His standing in this fireworks community was shown by his repeated appointment as “B-line boss,” responsible for the safe handling and firing of the largest aerial shells.
A master wordsmith, his puns comprised a significant portion of his jokes and crossword puzzles his attention. Speculation has arisen that his strategy of following a few bad jokes with a good one led to more laughter at the good one. His breadth of knowledge sometimes left listeners missing the point, and he then would need enlighten us ordinary folks.
For Dave, summer vacation was riding his motorcycle westward to Sturgis, South Dakota, or beyond. BMW awarded him a certificate attesting to more than 200,000 miles on the road.He visited his aunt and uncle in Connecticut before and after his trips west. He often joined his parents on Star Island, off the coast of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, pitching in with the engineering or carpentry crew there. Dedicated to his parents in their retirement, it is doubtful he ever missed a Thanksgiving, Christmas or birthday with them once they returned ashore in their 70s from their year-round life on Star Island.
Recently remembered as a gentleman, which he certainly was, he also was a gentle man, conscious and considerate of the feelings of others. His kindness, humor, warmth and encyclopedic intellect lives on in those who knew him. Dave is survived by his siblings, William of Glen Burnie, Maryland, Andrew ofSpringvale, Maine, Margery Dixon of Jarretsville, Maryland, and Janaki of Woodbury, Connecticut. His four nieces, Sepedeh, Neda, Rosanna and Samantha, and two nephews Adaon and Anerin, also survive him.
Dave’s request was to be cremated. In lieu of flowers, donations are welcomed to the following charities (we recommend mailing checks so your full contribution is received by the non-profit): 1. Maynard Historical Society, 195 Main St., Maynard, MA 01754. 2. The Lakota of North Dakota, via One Spirit (onespiritlakota.org) or P.O. Box 3209, Rapid City, SD 57709. 3.

M a r i l y n June (McKay) Armstrong, 89, died in Hopkinton on May 1 from complications of COVID-19 and Alzheimer ’s. Born in Butler, Pennsylvania, on June 23, 1930, she was the only child of the late Hildegarde E. (Zimmermann) Fredrick and Orville B. McKay. After her father died, she moved with her mother to Sheboygan, Wisconsin, where she attended Sheboygan High School. She went on to graduate from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a B.A. in journalism. She met and married her first husband, Robert Wilvers, in Milwaukee and became the proud mother of two daughters. Robert Wilvers was an artist, and Marilyn wrote several articles about life in Wisconsin illustrated by her then-husband. The articles were published in the Ford Times. They moved to New York City and eventually divorced.
Later, Marilyn married David Armstrong and became a devoted stepmother to his four children. Three months before her death, she and David celebrated 51 years of marriage. Even in the late stages of Alzheimer’s she never forgot her David, whom she still called “Duck,” an affectionate nickname from the early days of their courtship.
On weekends the family often traveled to North Chatham, New York, where they bought a house. There Marilyn taught herself how to restore rocking chairs and tackled other do-it-yourself projects, constantly teaching herself new skills. She did all this while keeping six active kids and one husband happy and healthy. Later, David and Marilyn retired to North Chatham. Marilyn was active even in retirement. She spent hours on her computer exploring a wide variety of interests, such as gardening. On weekends and holidays Marilyn and David welcomed family and friends (and their many granddogs) to innumerable barbecues in the gazebo by the creek (bratwurst from Wisconsin was almost always on the menu). She loved vacationing on Cape Cod in the summer with her family, riding bikes on the rail trail and drinking a hearty scotch and soda with olives; she especially loved seeing the Cape’s famed blue hydrangeas in bloom. She and David became certified Master Gardeners, growing magnificent gardens that people would stop to see from spring through fall. For relaxation Marilyn loved sitting in one of her restored rocking chairs by the Franklin stove, reading mystery novels, watching birds at the feeder and doing crossword puzzles.
Marilyn loved many things, but mostly she loved being surrounded by family and friends. She enjoyed dancing with her daughters to classic Allan Sherman records during the holidays and laughing over old family jokes. She welcomed all friends of the family with great warmth. She had a gift for making everyone feel included.

Wen Tanubrata
Eugene (Wen) Tanubrata (Tan Kai Jan) departed this world the morning of April 30, in his 93rd year. Wen’s amazing life spanned many generations and continents. He was born March 26, 1927, in Cirebon, Indonesia, to Tan Gin Han and Nelly De Vos, the second youngest of eight siblings and two half-siblings. He married the love of his life, Weilien Huang (Oey Hwei Lian), on Sept. 7, 1948. With their family, he immigrated from Indonesia to Yunnan, China, then to Hong Kong, and finally to the United States as his children attended college.
Wen had an adventurous and entrepreneurial spirit. He was fluent in at least four languages (Dutch, Chinese, Indonesian, English) and multiple dialects.

YOU’RE SAFE WITH US... Don’t Delay Emergency Care
Emergencies and other illnesses do not simply stop due to the Coronavirus outbreak. We are extremely concerned that patients are avoiding the emergency department out of fear of being infected with the virus. This delay in care is leading to worse outcomes with many patients postponing the care they need. There is a misperception that emergency departments are so overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients that they cannot provide safe care. This is absolutely NOT the case in the emergency department at Milford Regional. We have made a concerted effort to ensure that all patients are safe from the moment they enter the Medical Center. To underscore this commitment, Milford Regional has just received its fourth consecutive distinction as one of the safest hospitals in the country. Your safety is our top priority.
