Obituary for John Francis Dunn

Dunn, John Francis (Jack), was born in Framingham, MA to Paul C. Dunn, Sr. and his wife, Frances Louise Silverman on July 25, 1934. He was their second son. He was raised in Framingham. MA and was a graduate of Framingham High School. After honorable service in the United States Army, he joined the US Postal Services in Framingham where he retired after over 30 plus years.

Jack loved the New England Patriots and was probably their most loyal fan. He was a sports enthusiast and often attended professional games. As an avid reader of history, particularly of Roman Catholic history, U.S political history and current events, he became the family expert.

Those who knew Jack well, often remarked about his frequent luck winning the local lottery and also horse and dog races. When people would mention luck, he always said the luckiest day in his life was meeting and marrying his wife, Charlene Phippen Dunn.

He is survived by his devoted wife of 39 years, Charlene Dunn (Lake Worth, FL), his Step Daughter, Regina Temple (Framingham, MA), two granddaughters, Aziza Temple (Annapolis, MD) and Omolayo (Cassandra) Musa (NC), great grandson Omar Musa (NC), two brothers, Paul C. (Barbara) Dunn (Brighton, MA), Robert P. Dunn (Framingham, MA), two sisters-in-law, Alda C. Glover (CA) and Cheryl (Regino) Lombre (Suffolk, VA), one brother-in-law, Clarence Phippen, Jr. (Sanford, ME), two nieces, Francesca (James) McIver (Annapolis, MD), Erin (Arnaud) Laurent (Paris, France) and one nephew, Eric Phippen (Manchester, CT). Jack also leaves additional family and friends all of whom will truly miss his smile, sense of humor and his humanity for one and all.

Wake and Visitation will be from 5-7 PM, Thursday, August 17 from the Myrtle Baptist Church, 21 Curve Street, West Newton, MA. The funeral service will follow at 7 PM. Buffet/Refreshments will be provided. Burial information will be announced at the service. Call the Church at 617-332-5870 for further information.

Jack will be buried on Friday, August 18th at the Massachusetts National Veterans Cemetery in Bourne, MA. Call Blackington & Burke Funeral Home/West Newton for further info regarding the burial at 617-527-0986.
