Daniel Hurley, 64
Former editor of The Advocate
Daniel Hurley, 64, of Barnet, Vt., died Friday, April 11, at Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital in St. Johnsbury, Vt.
Dan was born to Patrick and Esther (Connolly) Hurley on July 4, 1943, in Fall River.
During his early life, he attended the Boston Museum of Fine Arts Museum School and the Art Students’ League of New York. He was a reporter for The New Bedford Times and The Cape Cod Times, and editor-in-chief of the Provincetown Advocate from 1971 to 1972. He was an influential force in Provincetown politics, a dynamic member of the Democratic Town Committee, and founder, with his good friend Miriam Goodman, of a successful food co-op for low-income consumers. He was a community organizer and fundraiser for the co-op and the Provincetown Art Association. He published a reissue of a book about Provincetown history. He was a wonderful chef and co-owned a small restaurant.
In 1976, shortly after he moved to Barnet, Vt., he founded, edited and published the New England Farmer monthly with partners Francis Carlet and Thomas Gilson. Fifteen years later, he and his partners published Turf, a national landscaping magazine. Prior to his death, he was working to create a “green” ecologically sound community for older adults.
Dan was a fine artist and writer and a skilled sailor who captained boats off the Maine and east coasts and through the Caribbean.
He was loved for his intelligence, warmth and decency by everyone who knew him.
Dan is survived by Yale Gould, his partner of 35 years.
He was predeceased by his parents, and his brothers, Pat and Brian.
Condolences are much appreciated, and may be offered online to yalegould@suchmail.com. There are no calling hours.
A service in Dan’s memory will be held in mid-May.
