Huna Rosenfeld

Huna Rosenfeld, 92 of Millis, passed away peacefully on March 25, surrounded by his three children. Born and raised in Millis, he was the son of Nathan and Elizabeth Rosenfeld and brother of Miriam Weinstein. After graduating from Millis High School in 1943 he enlisted in the United States Army and was assigned to the 3rd Army 87th infantry division and served in Eastern Europe. After his service he was accepted to Harvard University where he graduated in three years with a degree in bio-chemistry. While at Harvard he was named captain of the cross-country team. A lifelong runner, Huna competed in countless local races including seven Boston marathons; his first at the age of 68 and his last at the age of 75.

In addition to running, Huna was an avid tennis player and skier who took his family on many ski vacations. Summers were spent on Cape Cod overlooking Nantucket Sound. An original season ticket holder, Huna enjoyed taking his family to Patriot’s games. However, Huna’s favorite place to be found was on a bulldozer at his home on Southend Farm.

One of the largest real estate developers in the Metro West area, Huna built hundreds of homes, condominiums and commercial projects, including the Milliston Common shopping plaza. Everything Huna did was for the benefit of his family, which he considered most important among all things. He and his wife Hindy raised six children together, Aurin, Joel, Niles, Ellen, Jon and Marc. His three surviving children continue to run the family business that he created, fulfilling an often-expressed lifelong dream of his. Huna is survived by Ellen Rosenfeld of Jamaica Plain, MA, Jon and Patricia Rosenfeld and their children Samantha and Alicia of Boylston, MA and Marc and Jennifer Rosenfeld and their children Anna, Max and Jake of Holliston, MA.
