Gary Rachins
Gary R. Rachins, beloved husband, father, and grandfather, died unexpectedly at his home in Sharon on Sunday, July 9, 2023. He was 72 years old.
Born to the late Jack and Flora Rachins, Gary graduated from Brookline High School (1968) and Bentley College (1972). He was the brother of Meryl Marino (deceased).
He met his wife, Laurie (Schoen) Rachins in 1978, and they were married for 43 happy years. They had two wonderful sons, Gregory and his wife Jodi of North Andover and Zachary and his wife Brett of Needham and four grandchildren, Jack and Alice (Gregory & Jodi) and Jonah and Emmy (Zachary & Brett), whom he adored.
He retired as a hearing aid dispenser, having owned his own practice for many years. He was always willing to spend extra time with his patients; he truly loved what he did. Gary was passionate about golf, genealogy, and the Masons, just having earned a 50-year pin last month.
