Donald Fortin Obituary

He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Marie (Paquette) Fortin, of Mason, NH; his son Stephen Fortin and his partner Wendy Maynard of New Ipswich, NH; his daughter Danielle Aho and her husband Scott of Greenfield, NH; his sisters Priscilla Brostek and her husband William of Nashua, NH, Denise Desmarais and her husband Albie of Dracut, MA; his grandchildren Sierra Aho, Evan Aho, Joseph Fortin, Emma Fortin; his father-in-law Roland Paquette in Pelham, NH. He is also survived by his two beloved dogs, Sophie and Hunter.
