Oswald L. Haney Jr.

Lunenburg--Oswald Lawrence Haney Jr., 92, of Lunenburg, passed away peacefully in his sleep on January 5th after a short battle with an illness.

Thereafter, the family moved to Massachusetts and settled in Fitchburg, while Oz built the family home in Lunenburg. In 1957, the family welcomed their second son Daniel.

Oz went on to work several jobs as a mechanic at Flynn's Gas Station and a paper mill worker at Burbank Paper Co. (later James River Paper) before retiring in 1988.

Oz enjoyed traveling, playing cards, spending time outdoors, having cookouts, and always tinkering with something around the house.
