Eric Gingras Obituary
He was born on Nov. 16, 1977, in Manchester. He is the son of Leo D. Gingras and Jeanne R (Dupont) Foss. He grew up in the Manchester and Bedford area and was a graduate of West High School, class of 1995.
He was employed by Star Sales and Distributing Corp. in Woburn, Mass., as a door and hardware consultant where he worked with his father for the past 16 years.
Eric enjoyed life to its fullest. The main focus of his life was his two children, Kyler and Ivy. In addition to being a dedicated father, he was active in social clubs, loved golf and participated in fishing tournaments. At a young age Eric developed a keen interest in physical fitness and the gym was where Eric excelled and deservingly acquired the nickname, "The Hulk." Eric was always there to offer encouragement, a helping hand or whatever he could, regardless of the situation. The world was a far better place with Eric with us and "The Hulk" will be forever missed by all that had the privilege of knowing him. He has and will leave footprints in all the hearts and lives he has touched.
Members of his family, in addition to his parents, include his wife Danielle of Goffstown, his two children, Kyler Thompson Gingras and Ivy Izabelle Gingras; his stepmom, Elaine Gingras and stepdad, Peter Foss; his sister, Kristi Clark and her husband, Tom of Bellingham, Wash.; his stepbrother, Aaron Foss and his wife Lou of Epsom; his stepsister, Ericka Foss of Keene and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
