Clarence “Red” Dwinnell, 86, of Hopkinton, passed away at his home, surrounded by his family, on Saturday, December 30, 2017. He was the husband of 47 years to Maureen Dwinnell of Hopkinton.
Red was a husband, father, teacher and mentor to many. He was an old school farmer, where his word and a handshake were his contract and he honored it. He taught his children to be strong, independent, and hard working individuals. He was the strongest, hardest working man his family has ever known. Red is loved by many and will be dearly missed by family and friends, who look forward to many “Happy Days” to carry on his legacy, traditions, and knowledge.
Besides his loving and caring wife, Maureen, Red is survived by his children, Ricky Dwinnell and his wife Cheri, Ronnie Dwinnell and his wife Ilene, Kelleigh Parker, Cyndi Dionne and her husband James, and Jennifer Dwinnell and her partner Jennifer Leigh Driscoll. He also leaves behind his sister, Barbara Burns of Bayonne, NJ, his grandson and best friend, Jason Dunton, and his extended family friend, Jill Dwyer; as well as his 8 grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren. He is predeceased by his son, Randy Dwinnell, his daughter, Janice Greenwood, and his brother, Leroy Dwinnell.
A celebration of life will be held on Sunday, January 14th at 2:00 p.m. at the Woodville Rod & Gun Club, 252 Wood St. Hopkinton. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Central New England Equine Rescue, http://www.cneer.com/how-to-help/planned-giving/
