Charles Holt

Charles Thomas Holt, 74, of Manchester, was granted eternal peace on Friday August, 28, 2020. He had battled COPD for years longer than his doctors expected. His family is saddened but also comforted that he is no longer in pain. Born on May 9, 1946, he was the son of the late Thomas and Lucille (Baroody) Holt. He was a brother to Joan Gannon of Manasquan, NJ, the late Maureen Becker of Manchester, the late Carolyn Holt, the late Marilyn Holt, and the late James Holt of Manchester.

Tom (as he was known), proudly served his country in the U.S. Army until he was honorably discharged in 1971, where he received several honors including the Bronze Star. He served as member of the Disabled Americans Veterans club and took yearly camping trips with fellow members. Tom enjoyed trips to lay in the sun at Hampton Beach. He loved watching many sports with friends and most recently with his brother-in-law. Though Tom was a quiet man, those who knew him genuinely cared for him and enjoyed his company. Tom was especially fond of his seven grandchildren.

He is survived by his wife Barbara Holt of Manchester, his daughters Kimberly Hennessey of Center Barnstead, Nicole Gagne of Plymouth, MA and his son Kevin Holt of Kingston. He is also survived by his grandchildren Dylan and Meghan Hennessey, Colin, Riley, and Tessa Holt, Tyler and Madison Gagne.
