John W. Mayhew, beloved husband, father, grandfather, WWII Navy fighter pilot, West Tisbury town father, fisherman, teacher and friend, passed away at Martha’s Vineyard Hospital on Jan. 10. He departed in the early morning hours, around the time he would rise to get out on the water to go fishing in an earlier time, and his family imagines that is where he has gone. He was 91 years old. A full obituary will follow soon, and a communitywide memorial service will be planned for later in the year, with notice provided in both local papers.
