Michael Charles Bider Jr., 87, a resident of Lawrence, Massachusetts, passed away on Sunday, April 1, 2012 at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, MA. He was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts on June 1, 1924, and was the son of Sarah Bistany Bider and Michael Charles Bider who both migrated from Lebanon in the early 1900′s. Michael grew up on Valley Street and through his childhood, worked alongside his father at the family grocery store. After attending grammar school and Lawrence High School, Michael was enrolled at the Boston Conservatory of Music where he studied composition. Michael then went on to receive his certification from Mass Radio and enlist in the United States Navy in 1942. He served our country as a radio man aboard the E V Johnson, a destroyer escort traveling throughout the Mediterranean. After being wounded in the course of duty, Michael promised that if he was lucky enough to return home to Lawrence, he would never leave again. Michael eventually made it back home – and he kept his word. He met the love of his life, Vincenza Tagliaferro Bider, whom he married in 1950. They moved to Tower Hill where they raised their sons, Michael C. Bider III and David A. Bider. Michael’s professional career as a supervisor at the Internal Revenue Service in Andover, Massachusetts spanned thirty years, but his passion was his family. Michael adored his wife and sons and lived with a zest for life that is rare. He was a storyteller and entertainer, who could keep any audience delighted and engaged. After retirement in 1979, Michael devoted his time to perfecting his sales pitch at his sons’ stores, enjoying every moment he could with Vinnie (whom he called his “guardian angel”) enthusiastically tending to their beautiful home and garden, and endlessly amusing his three loving grandchildren, Emily, Anne, and Katherine Bider. Michael was a devout lifetime member of Saint Joseph’s Melkite Church where he served on numerous committees and associations. Michael is survived by his loving wife of 61 years, Vincenza, son Michael and his wife Joanne of Essex, MA, son David and his wife Sylvia of Andover, MA, grandchildren, Emily, Anne and Katherine, cousin, Thomas Bistany of Methuen, MA and many other family members and friends. Michael was predeceased by his brother James (Jimmy) Bider. One of Michael’s favorite quotes from the philosopher Kahlil Gibran’s, The Prophet was “For what is it to die, but to stand naked in the wind and to melt in to the sun . . . . And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek god unencumbered . . . when the Earth has claimed our limbs, then we shall truly dance.”
A Funeral Service will be held on Thursday, April 5, 2012 at 1:00 P.M. in St. Joseph Melkite Catholic Church, 241 Hampshire St., Lawrence, MA. Burial will follow in the Bellevue Cemetery also in Lawrence, MA.

Worcester
Charles A. ‘Chicky’ Lamb
On Thursday, April 5, 2012, Charles A. Lamb passed away after a brief period of declining health.
Chicky was born December 9, 1942 in Worcester to Charles J. and Esther (Brash) Lamb. Although he contracted polio at nine months of age, he defined the odds and went on to live a meaningful and inspiring life.
Making the most of each and every day, Chicky could often be found outdoors with his shades on catching rays, and maybe driving a little too fast in his motorized wheelchair. Material possessions were not important to Chick. His idea of wealth was family, friends, good conversation and a beautiful day. He was also a music lover and enjoyed going to concerts. Always a ladies man, Chicky was at his best when in company of beautiful women. His dry sense of humor and carefree attitude could always bring a smile during the most unexpected times. His optimism will always be remembered by those who knew and loved him.
He leaves his loving family, his sister Marjorie Burlingame and her husband Kenyon, his nephew James and niece, Christine all of Charlton. Chick’s older sister Gloria passed in 1960 and he is also survived by her daughter Laura Favreau.
At his request, the funeral service was private. Chicky’s family wishes to extend their gratitude to all those who helped make his life brighter by being there for him.

“Rest easy now Chick, you were much loved.”

An honest man now lies at rest
As e’er God with his image blest;
The friend of man, the friend of truth,
The friend of age, and guide of youth:
Few hearts like his, with virtue warm’d,
Few heads with knowledge so inform’d :
If there’s another world, he lives in bliss;
If there is none, he made the best of this.
-Robert Burns

The Robert J. Miller-Charlton Funeral Home, 175 Old Worcester Rd., assisted Chick’y family with arrangements.

Charles H. Kotseas, age 87, passed to another place in time on Wednesday evening, April 11, 2012, with his beloved Eleni (Helen), devoted wife of sixty-six years lying beside him. His three daughters, Paula Anderson, Andrea Kotseas and Vickie McMahon were holding his hands when he spoke. “You are my loving and wonderful daughters, and I am very proud of you for the quality and dignity that you bring to my name.” Then he voiced softly, “Eleni, I will wait for you in heaven.” Charlie was predeceased by his precious and brave daughter, Connie DiVincentis. Now they will be together again. Charles had much to be proud of when speaking of his grandchildren and great-grandchild because they are all intelligent, well-educated, well-mannered, kind and thoughtful people. He leaves his grandson, Marc DiVincentis, his wife, Danielle and his great-grandson, Anthony Divincentis, his grandson, Brett C. Anderson, his granddaughters, Cali and Cristi O’Connor, his son-in-law, George McMahon and his grandsons, Christopher Pierson and Nicholas McMahon. We know his wish is that all his grandchildren continue to make a positive imprint on this world. Charles leaves friends and loved ones in Greece, with whom he kept in close touch on a weekly basis. In fact, he spoke with his dear nephew in Greece on the evening previous to his passing, saying, “Einai oti einai,” (It is what it is.) He looked forward to the frequent visits and lunches he shared with his sisters, Mary, Venus and Ginny, escorted by Ginny’s husband, Steve. A fourth sister, Georgia, does not live locally. Charlie was predeceased by his brother, Paul, and sisters, Helen and Claire. He also enjoyed the company of the many “brothers of the church”, while he played cards and drank Greek coffee at the Ahepa. Of note are two who made him especially happy, his buddy, Dennis Dionis, and Teddy Tembenis, his wife’s cousin. These are the family and friends who mattered to him, so thank you to all of you for being there for him.

Charles was the epicenter of activity, always thinking, planning and working. He gave from his heart to St. Spyridon’s Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Worcester and to Sts. Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church in Webster. He was constant, consistent and generous in supporting church activities. In addition, he and his brother, Paul, funded the construction of a small village church that their father had begun in Ioanina, Greece. In 1990, Charles was inducted as an “archon” of the church by the Greek Archdiocese of North and South America, in a ceremony held in New York City. Charles served his country in United States Navy as a radioman during World War II, doing much of his service in the Phillipines. His feelings of patriotism and dedication to the mission of organized fraternity continued following the war. Charles was a long time member of the Lion’s Club, and a life time member of the Veterans of Foreign War and the Brotherhood of the Masons. He was a sustaining member of the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association, and was a member of The American Legion, the AARP and affiliated with his naval service he was a member of the United States LST Association.

Charles never really retired because he kept his hands and mind active concerning his commercial real estate business. He and his brother, Paul, started Phillip’s Market in the latter part of the 1940’s, with locations in Auburn and Whitinsville. Eventually, real estate became his business. Unfortunately, Charles was plagued by the triple whammy of congestive heart failure, diabetes and kidney failure, but that did not prevent him from carrying on business as usual. He was brave, valiant and dignified in his approach to dealing with the woes of the diseases. He leaves the fruits of his labors to Eleni who cried quietly and then sobbed noisily at his passing. His daughters, Paula, Andrea and Vickie, and the memories of Connie are his fruits which have made him burst with pride.

In the style of “The Spoon River Anthology”, a poem by Edgar Lee Masters, Charlie would have written his elegy, “I worked hard, never gave up, shared and cared about people, the environment and my wonderful wife and daughters. I made mistakes from which I learned, and I am thankful for God’s love and forgiveness. My final wish is that the evil people of this world STOP being so!”

A private service so his family could say their prayers for him prior to interment was held at O’Connor Brothers Funeral Home, Worcester, officiated by Father Dean Paleologos. If you would like to make a donation in the honor and memory of Charles H. Kotseas, the Family Center Building Fund of St. Spyridon’s Cathedral was very dear to his heart. Other options are The American Heart Association, The Diabetes Association and The National Kidney Foundation.

John Lennon sang, “All you need is LOVE.” Dad, no one else will ever know how much you loved us. Thank you for who you were to us in life and to all the lessons of love and memories you planted for us. Your presence is still strong in our hearts. See you later.
