In Memoriam:  The Keene chapter lost a dear man - a talented, dedicated brother on Monday, January 18, 2010, from a tragic auto accident in Leominster, Mass.  Michael Dowd, age 41, will be remembered for his wit and humor, his infectious laugh, and a wonderful bass voice.  He truly saw the best of any situation and was a most encouraging person.  He leaves a wife, Kim, son Evan (10) and daughter, Paige (8). He is the son of Jack Dowd, devoted member of the Beverly (MA) chapter. The Cheshiremen sang at the wake and funeral.  A comment posted on Facebook after: "... the evening of the wake ... I was moved by not only the chorus turning out, but by the men who have moved on from membership who joined in to sing ... and then the father of Mike singing not only with the chorus but with his quartet ... men who love each other ... could just heal the whole world ..."

We will miss you dearly, Michael.  Rest in Peace.  God bless you.  Thanks for all you have done.  (obit here)
