George Rodney Enos

George Rodney Enos, 90, of Concord, passed away peacefully at home on Friday, December 16, 2022, surrounded by his loving family. Born on August 6, 1932, in Concord, NH, he was the son of the late Manuel and Helen (Rosendahl) Enos.

George was first and foremost a family man. He was a devoted husband to his wife and a loving man as father to his children, son to his parents, brother to his sisters, grandfather to his grandchildren, and uncle to his nieces and nephews.

George grew up in Concord and graduated from Concord High School in 1950. In 1951, he served his country in the United States Air Force and was stationed at Lowry Air Force Base in Denver, CO. While he was stationed in Denver, he met and married Joann and shared a beautiful marriage for over 70 years. After he was honorably discharged from the Air Force in 1955, he entered UNH to study Physics. He won the Joseph L. Fearer Scholarship for academic excellence and graduated cum laude in 1959 with a Bachelor of Science in Physics.

After graduation, he went to work for Connecticut Aircraft Nuclear Energy Lab in Middleton, CT. While working, he attended Trinity College in Hartford, CT. and graduated in 1962 with his Master of Science Degree in Physics. In 1962, he began his lifelong career that he loved as a research physicist at AVCO, which later became Textron, in MA and commuted back and forth from Concord until he retired in 1981. After his retirement, he accepted a job as a technical sales engineer representing Applied Measurements where he could work when he wanted across NH, VT, and ME. He continued until 2015. When he was finally ready to fully retire, he was still busy as always with home repairs and projects for Joann and himself and anyone in the family.

He is survived by his loving wife, Joann Enos; daughter Janet Barron and her husband Paul; sons Don Enos and David Enos; sisters Elizabeth Enright, Deborah Enos and husband Brad Cilley; grandchildren Gregg Barron and wife Shelby, Eric Barron and fiance Denise Sanchez, Alana (Barron) Kimbell and husband Alex, Michelle Enos and husband Jonathan, Scott Enos, Sean D’Urso, and Stephen D’Urso; brother in law William Carter; nieces and nephews Jonathan Cilley and wife Emily, Sarah Kitchin and husband Dana, William Carter Jr., Christopher Carter, James Enright and wife Natalie, Drew Cronin and wife Karen, Cindi Bryant, and many grandnieces and grandnephews.
