Thomas E. Coburn III
He graduated from Framingham South High School in 1982 and Westfield State University in 1986. He worked as a Mortgage Broker for many decades. He was very active in the community, he was on the Hopkinton Marathon Committee, a member of the Relay For Life Committee, and was a longtime coach of Hopkinton youth sports. Tom was also an avid biker, and completed several Pan Mass Challenge Races. He also had a passion for yoga. Tom was the ultimate family man. He loved his family more than anything. His biggest goal in life was to support his family. He thoroughly enjoyed spending his summers with his family on Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard. He was always the first one to jump in the waves at the beach. Tom could also often be found taking long walks in the woods with his three dogs, Sammy, Pearl, and Tilly. They will miss him very much. In the winter, Tom loved to ski. He looked forward to every blizzard, and loved Christmas more than anyone. Many people will remember Tom as a funny guy. He always aimed to make everyone happy, and was not afraid to make a fool of himself. His family hopes that he will be remembered for his goofy and fun loving attitude.

Colella's
Staying Open? Just a part of it  Above, Eric Madson, manager of wine and liquor sales at Colella's holds a bottle of Hopkinton 300th Anniversary wine this afternoon following the announcement.
"The hours for the liquor department haven't been determined yet — they will be fewer than the grocery hours — but it will still be seven days," Dale said. "We will still offer lottery and related snack items, like chips and soda, and perhaps even more," she said. Dale would not discuss the next chapter, or even possibilities, but most people shopping there lately agree that the store has never been busier. |

 CORRECTION:
NO 911 CALL
February 17, 2015 — In a
recent story by Ed Thompson about a shooting
at a Milford hotel involving two Hopkinton
residents, it was reported as background
that one of the parties called 911 in
Hopkinton to report a fight, and that the
police failed to respond after she said the
subjects had left. Hopkinton Chief of Police
Ed Lee (file photo) disputed that accusation
this morning in a meeting with HopNews
Editor Robert Falcione, Lt. Charles Wallace
and Public Information Officer, Sgt. Joseph
Bennett. Editor's Note: In the hundreds of 911 calls we have heard the police receive, every one has been responded to, and in some cases investigated further. It is difficult but not impossible to find the source of a 911 call from within a company with several offices and dozens or hundreds of telephone connections, but they pursue it nonetheless. Several years ago the source of a 911 call from a cell phone was not showing in the system. Hopkinton Police were assisted by State Police, who sent a chopper with special equipment that flew back and forth, pinpointing the source as a home, and lit it up with their spotlight. As the chopper hovered above, police engaged the residents, who denied that they called and insisted all of their phones were accounted for. The chopper went through its routine again and came to the same conclusion. It lit up the home again and police investigated. It turned out that the family had given a deactivated phone to a child, not knowing that the emergency 911 feature remains active. Case solved. |

by WMRC News Director Ed Thompson February 16, 2015 — A Valentine's Day dispute involving Hopkinton residents led to a violent shooting in broad daylight at the Holiday Inn Express in Milford on Saturday morning.
Thomas Coburn III, 51, fired several shots at Christian Nealon, 48, injuring him seriously. Coburn then sat in his car and shot himself to death. The two families know each other well.
Nealon is being treated for three gunshot wounds at UMass, Worcester, and remains in critical condition.
After Coburn shot him, Nealon fired back with his own gun, defending himself. Coburn's wife, Jeannine, who was with Nealon, narrowly missed getting hit by the flying bullets. All of this took place in the rear parking lot of the hotel, then inside the building, creating a vast crime scene involving two vehicles, two guns, and the entire parking lot and lobby of the hotel. There were large pools of blood.
Milford Deputy Chief Jim Heron was first on the scene, along with a state police officer and officer John Sanchioni. They immediately worked to secure the area and preserve evidence. The investigation involved 50 people.
It is unlikely Nealon will face any charges in connection with the Saturday incident. NOTE: News Director Ed Thompson shares this report he is giving his listeners at WMRC, 1490 - AM.
In the 911 tape above, two callers can be heard reporting aspects of the gun battle to the 911 operator as they unfolded. In another tape HopNews received, the ONSTAR operator called Milford Police to report a panic alarm from the vehicle Nealon was in, as well as hearing yelling and screaming. |

HOPKINTON

Holly
Elizabeth DiNicola, 48
dramatic
choral/orchestral interpretation of “The Diary
of Anne Frank”—Annelies. 70 years ago this month
the young teenager Annelies (Anne) lost her life
in a prison camp, but a personal diary
containing her memorably mature and eloquent
thoughts was later discovered in the family’s
hiding place in Amsterdam. In a remarkable and
sensitive collaboration composer James Whitbourn
and librettist Melanie Challenger premiered
Annelies in London in 2005. Excerpts of Anne’s
diary are woven together: peaceful peeks of
nature from her window contrasting with her
sorrowful awareness of Jews being arrested and
her fear of the family’s capture. The
accompanying score is amazingly varied and
stirring in its sympathetic reflection of Anne’s
world.
