Obit: Peter Schinella, Concord, NH, Native; Florida Veteran, Pastor

A reminder to readers, especially after finding out a short obituary in the Miami Herald was $1,900 (!!!) — obits on Patch are free (I have no problem with paid obits; everyone knows what is happening in the news business. But frankly, that price is just ridiculous). If you need to publish an obit, email me the text (tony.schinella@patch.com) and permission to use the photo, and I am happy to publish it on any of our 14 sites in NH. Best, Tony
