John T. Dunn, 59, of Hull, MA peacefully passed away at home on Monday December 20, 2021 surrounded by loved ones, after a long courageous battle with cancer.

Husband of 31 years to his beloved wife, AnnMarie (Roche) Dunn and Father of Meaghan Ann and Kathleen Dunn of Hull.  John was the dear Son of Joan Dunn and her Late Husband John (Jack) Dunn of Hingham.  Devoted brother of Joan Marie Chittick (husband Charlie), Jimmy Dunn (wife Donna) and Jeanette Dunn all of Hingham.  John leaves behind many family members including his nieces, nephews and cousins all of whom were blessed to know their “Uncle Johnny”.

John was born in 1962 and grew up in Hingham where he was fortunate enough to be surrounded by his childhood friends whom all spent many happy moments swimming and boating at Kimball Beach.  His love of the ocean started early and was fostered by not only Kimball Beach but also by the summers spent at his grandparents cottage in Hull where all of the cousins would spend every weekend on Nantasket Beach. He carried this love into his adult life with boating and many trips on his boat MadKat, named after his daughters.  After graduating from Hingham High School in 1980, John went onto Calhoon MEBA Engineering School where he was able to explore ports from around the world while training as a Marine Engineer. After graduation he joined the Millwright local 1121, following in his father’s footsteps, which led him eventually to IPC Lydon where he retired from. John worked hard at his job and was respected by all those in the industry he crossed paths with. In 1984, John met AnnMarie at Paragon Park, where his parents also met many years before, and grew into having an amazing and loving relationship that allowed them to continue to fall more in love each day. They went on to having their 2 daughters, Meaghan and Kathleen who John loved dearly. John was a proud friend of Bill W for 26 years.
