Boris N. Dimitrov

Boris Nikolov Dimitrov, 88, of Nashua, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, January 10, 2023. Born on September 26, 1934 in Ludja, Ivailovgrad, Bulgaria, he was the son of the late Nikola and Rada Dimitrov.

Boris grew up in Bulgaria and came to the United States seeking to escape communism in the early 1950’s and with the wish of building a family. He proudly served his new country in the United States Army and was honorably discharged in 1959. As someone who loved to dance, it was no surprise he met his wife Bertha at a dance at the Commodore Ballroom. They married after a short courtship, started their family and settled down in Nashua. He was a quiet, hardworking man, and at times worked two jobs to provide for his family.

Together they traveled the world. In later years, he loved to garden with his wife. What started as a small vegetable garden soon grew to a yard blooming with flowers, fruits and vegetables that they loved to can and share with their neighbors and friends. He enjoyed dancing and taking Zumba classes. He was very proud of his family and would light up whenever his grandchildren were around.

He is survived by his son Michael Dimitrov and his wife Laurie of Chelmsford, MA; grandchildren Matthew Dimitrov and Kyleigh Dimitrov; and many nieces, nephews, neighborhood and Zumba friends. He is predeceased by his wife of 50 years Bertha Dimitrov; son Nikola Dimitrov; sisters Tiana and Stanka and his brothers, George, Toshko and Peter.

A visitation will be held on Tuesday, January 17 from 10am to 11am at St. Philip Greek Orthodox Church located at 500 W. Hollis St, Nashua with a Funeral Service beginning at 11am. A burial will follow immediately after at Woodlawn Cemetery located at 101 Kinsley St, Nashua NH.
