Notices compiled from Legacy.com, Echovita, Tribute Archive, and Somerville Patch. Several other obituaries appearing this week in Somerville-area listings were reviewed and excluded: some named Somerville only as a birthplace rather than a residence, some named other towns as the place of residence, and several had dates of death or listing dates that fell outside the September 14 through September 20 coverage window.
