obituary: Joseph T. Lovell, owner of Tidy Tom commercial cleaners, prized giving back, hockey

When the hockey league where Joseph T. Lovell played adjusted its membership classification to 60 and over to reflect its aging rosters, some of the upstart players apparently didn't get the memo that checking was no longer allowed. "They'd have to tell them to quit it because they didn't need anybody breaking a hip," Lovell's niece, Kristin Pedersen, said Sunday. Lovell, the owner of commercial cleaning service Tidy Tom, and who was better known to friends and associates as J. Thomas Lovell, died Saturday at his home in Chelsea after a long battle with brain cancer. He was 67.
