Biography
HOLDEN - Henry "Hecky" Carl Oman passed away at UMass Memorial Hospital in Worcester, MA on February 12, 2016, after a valiant fight against ALS. He was born in Holden, MA on January 10, 1955 to Henry S. Oman and Lillian (Jappinen) Oman and lived most of his life in Massachusetts and Vermont.
He was an avid fisherman and spent the last of his healthy years restoring a boat and motor which were his pride and joy. His interests included camping, fishing and canoeing adventures with his friends and, later on, spinning tales about these happy and story-worthy times. A bit of a McGyver, he also enjoyed tinkering to the musical sounds of Bonnie Raitt and Little Feat; friends and family spent many a fine hour “appreciating” his detailed descriptions of his projects; with love, of course.
He is survived by his sisters Nancy Shepard and her husband, Dennis of Boise, ID, and Polly Hakala of South Burlington, VT, his brother, Richard Oman of Twin Falls, ID; his sister-in-law, Carol Oman of Acton, MA. He also leaves behind several nieces and nephews and their children and his posse of lifelong friends. He is predeceased by his parents and his brother John Oman of Acton.
A private graveside service will be held at a future date. Contributions in Hecky’s name can be made to the ALS Association.
