He is remembered by those he helped as a great listener, full of generosity and compassion.

I didn't know that today would be our last or that i'd have to say goodbye to you so fast. He will be remembered for his kind spirit and affinity for helping those in need. He was a good friend, father and person. He had a charming sense of humor and a love for motorcycles. Everyone misses you!

A memorial service will be held at a later date due to the current COVID restrictions.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Bennett Funeral Home of Concord, NH.
