Anthony "Bucky" J. Dubois Jr.

He was born in Keene, NH on May 9th, 1931, the son Eunice (Seaver) and Anthony J. Dubois Sr.

He was educated in the Keene schools, and was a Keene High School graduate with the class of 1949.

Bucky played football while in high school and his favorite pastimes were watching the New England Patriot’s and the Boston Red Sox.

He loved mowing his lawn and his many rides up the road to check on his grandson Greg’s house.

Early in his working career he was police officer for the Keene Police Dept, owned and operated the Sunoco Station on lower Main Street in Keene and later worked for the R.W. Payne Construction Company, retiring from Keene State College as the ground’s foreman.

Bucky was a man of few words but you always knew where you stood.

His biggest pride and joy was his home “The Holbrook Farm” (a big part of Swanzey’s history) there he raised cows and pigs. His favorite two cows were Mayflower and Brownie.

Both Bucky and Mary loved to take trips and spending time at Wells and Moody Beach in Maine, but most of all to their second home located in Tenants Harbor, Maine. While in Maine he enjoyed going deep sea fishing, the beach, fried clams and a good lobster roll.

He was predeceased by his wife of 72 years Mary (Kent) Dubois who passed away on January 17, 2022, his brother, Bruce Dubois, Sisters; Eunice Larro (Harold), Janice Huslander (Phil), Clara Stowell (Jim), and Doris “Dot” Dinkle (Ted).

He is survived by two sons; Anthony J Dubois III of Swanzey, NH and Gary M Dubois of Spofford.

He is survived by His Brothers George Dubois (Marsha) of Keene, and Eugene “Cricket” (Jeannie) of Keene.

Five grandchildren; Gwen Clough (Frank), of Bow, Gregory Dubois (Kelly) of Swanzey, Joseph Dubois of Keene, Christina Dubois of Keene, and Ann Caraballo (Aramis) of Nelson, NH.
