Philip C Beal, originally of Hanover, Mass., and The Villages, Fla., passed away peacefully after a period of declining health on Thursday, February 2, 2017. He was predeceased by his beloved wife, Barbara P. Beal, with whom he had shared 62 years of marriage. He will be remembered as a devoted husband, father and grandfather. Born in 1925 to Grace E. and John Woodbridge Beal, he grew up in a loving family with three brothers, Jack, David and Tom, with whom he remained close throughout their lives. He excelled at Hanover High School and was a proud graduate of Babson College and Tufts University. He served his country during World War II as a member of the U.S. Army Military Police. After their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Beal resided in Hanover, Mass., for 40 years, where they raised four children. In 1990 they retired to Venice, Fla., and in 2002 they made The Villages their home. Despite his 27 years in Florida, he remained a New Englander at heart. For more than 20 years Mr. Beal was the Superintendent of Public Works for the Town of Hanover, where he was responsible for implementing new technologies and forward thinking improvements. Most notably was the design and development of the Pond Street Water facility in the 1960s, the first of its kind to be operated completely by computer. Prior to that he led his own and a number of local businesses focused on water resource management and system design including Aetna Engineering of Pembroke, Mass., and Philip C. Beal Associates. He was widely recognized for his professional accomplishments including his appointment by the Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to the State Water and Aquifer Resource Commission and by the dedication of a series of wells for the Town of Hanover as “Phil’s Field," using what were then, in 1970, futuristic aquifer exploration technologies. Active in the community, he was as a member of the Hanover, Mass., Board of Water Commissioners, the Hanover Fire Department, Freemasons Phoenix Lodge A.F. & A.M., Rotary International, and the American Legion. He was an avid sailor and a member of the Satuit Boat Club of Scituate, Mass., and The Bluewater Fog Runners of the North American Hemisphere. Philip was a patient, wise, nurturing and fun father to Peter and Mary Beth of Newtown, Conn., Stephan and Cynthia of San Diego, Calif., Kirkley Paige Beal and Erin Creighton of Pittsburgh, Pa., Sandra Willard and her late husband, Mike of Williamsburg, Va. He treasured his grandchildren, Christine and Christopher Hutto and great-granddaughter, Addison Hutto, Ryan Willard, Owen and Alexander Beal, and Jack, Caroline and Christopher Beal, and loved watching them grow up. A memorial service will be scheduled at the convenience of the family. Interment will be at Churchill Cemetery in Norwell, Mass. Online condolences may be left at www.beyersfuneralhome.com at their Lady Lake location. Arrangements have been entrusted to Beyers Funeral Home and Crematory, Lady Lake, Fla.

Ann Luce of Golden, Colo., died peacefully in her sleep on January 11, at her home in Cold Creek Canyon. She was 91. A painter, pilot, art educator and publisher, Ann was active in the Boulder area for over 45 years after spending the first part of her life in the mid-Atlantic states and New York City. She was an accomplished painter and a graduate of St. Timothy's and Vassar College, and also attended the Maryland Institute in Baltimore and the Art Students League in New York City. She married childhood summer neighbor, Gordon P. Baird, in 1946 and had two boys, Jock and Gordon. After 10 years, the marriage ended and Ann moved to Manhattan, where she taught art and later worked at McCall's magazine and several book publishers, where she later wrote and illustrated dozens of young adult and educational books. Ann also kept a 36-foot sailboat and cruised the New York/New England coast with her sons. Ann was at times fearless, in 1967 sailing her disabled boat into Menemsha, Mass., harbor during a gale, to the astonishment of the local fishermen. Marrying Peter Paul Luce in 1967, she soon moved to Boulder and the couple became one of first residents to build a home at the top of the "hogback" ridge in Coal Creek Canyon, defying high winter winds and trucking in their water. She also took a prominent leadership role in halting a mining operation in the canyon, at one point confronting bulldozers on her horse. Ann took up flying at that time, and obtained a full instrument license that she maintained for 40 years, sometimes facing harrowing experiences similar to what she'd seen on the water, including two forced landings in the U.S. and further adventures in South America. She also became a fine skier, ran marathons in Boulder, and restarted her formal art education, earning her Masters in Art History from C.U. at age 50 and specializing in Columbian art. Ann turned this interest into a new educational publishing entity, Alarion Press, that put out film strips, videos and multimedia products. Leveraging her flying skills, Ann regularly hawked her products at national trade shows. She also joined her son, Gordon, to became a cofounder of Musician, a national magazine later purchased by Billboard. She remained a prolific artist, and became the matriarch of Boulder's Artwork Space studios, subsidizing dozens of creative artists in an intimate, collegial union. After her marriage to Mr. Luce ended, Ann experienced a long friendship with Bill Guinther, a Korean War F-86 pilot and later a popular disabled ski racer at Winter Park and occasional guest conductor for the Boulder Symphony. Ann Luce is survived by her sister, Elise "Butch" Wallace of Sherborn, Mass.; her two sons, Jonathan and Gordon Baird, Jr. of Gloucester, Mass., and their wives, Linda Baird and Joe Ann Hart. Known to her family as "Grannie Annie," Ann will be missed by her grandchildren, Joanna Blabac, Dr. Abby Waldman, Morgan Everson, Jake and Wilder Baird; and two great-grandchildren, Beyla and Shiloh Blabac. She is also survived by Butch's children, Brad, Jay and Julie Wallace, all from the Boston area. Donations to Ann's memory can be made by buying and celebrating artwork from worthy artists in your community. A memorial service will be held in February at her Colorado home.

Jonathan Philip Matson, age 67, beloved husband of Laura Bishop Matson, died unexpectedly of heart failure on January 31, 2017, in his home of 41 years. Born in Greenwich, Conn., he was the son of the late Harold and Ann (Toomey) Matson. Mr. Matson was president of the Harold Matson Co. literary agency in New York City, where for 30 years he continued his father’s legacy of collaborating with talented and accomplished authors, including Richard Condon, Robert Ruark, and Herman Wouk, to bring critically acclaimed and best-selling books to publication. He graduated from the Darrow School in 1967 and attended Hamline College in St. Paul, Minn., after which he returned to NYC where he began his publishing career at Simon & Schuster. He later worked for 15 years at Harvard University Press as manager of subsidiary rights. He will be dearly missed by his colleague, Ben Camardi, and his clients and friends that include Deborah Cramer, Michael Downing, Raymond Feist, George Michelsen Foy, Susanna Kaysen, William Patrick, Jonathan Shay, and Janny Wurts, among many others. In 2009, he helped to found Christ the Redeemer Church in Danvers, and took particular joy in belonging to the usher team whose duties mirror the callings of his generous and hospitable heart. He attributed his blessed and happy life to the grace of God. A lifelong singer and instrumentalist, in 1983 he and friends formed the Walker Creek Band. For over 20 years of marvelous nights (for a moondance), he performed with them across New England. His fellowship of creative, musical, and witty friends and neighbors always supported and encouraged him during his times of illness. In addition to his wife, Laura, with whom he celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary on January 15, he is survived by a son, Jonathan Philip Matson, Jr., of San Francisco, Calif.; a daughter, Ann Elizabeth Bishop Matson Bailis, her husband, David of Brooklyn, N.Y., as well as their daughter, Skye Matson Bailis. His other survivors include two brothers, Timothy Matson of Thetford Center, Vt., and Christopher Matson and his wife, Colette of Essex, Conn.; two sisters, Katinka Matson and her husband, John Brockman of New York City and Hallie Matson and her husband, David Studley of Mountain Ranch, Calif.; and many treasured nieces and nephews. He was godfather to Philippa Renwick Kennedy of Bedford, N.Y., and Haley Fitch Barraza of Holliston, Mass. He also leaves behind a constellation of extended Matson, Bishop, Fitch and Bailis family members, each of whom were precious to him. Jonathan’s funeral service will be held at Christ the Redeemer Anglican Church, 188 Elliott St., Danvers, MA 01923 on Saturday, February 11, 2017, at 11 a.m. Relatives and friends are also invited to attend the reception that will follow the service at Myopia Hunt Club in Hamilton.
