John C. Prestidge

Think of John often. I saw a Summer Tanager last week in Rye, NH. I took and picture and thought of John. I would have sent him that picture and would have loved it. Fondly, Erin, his neighbor on State Street

My gosh I have so many memories of John and Carol! They were the NICEST people to be around, so happy and positive. I loved hearing the stories from their travels, about skiing up north, about all the dogs they raised and about their family. Johnny was an amazing photographer and became quite the cook too! They were both wonderful to me and I always felt comfortable and welcome at their home. They also loved my yorkie, Kiki, and asked me to bring her when I came to help Carol. I guess when I...

John will be missed! He was a special person who I had the pleasure of getting to know when I worked for Living At Home Senior Care and came to his and Carol's home several times a week. John and I kept in touch over the years after Carol's passing. It was always wonderful to see a message and a photo from him or hear how his grandson's were, what he was cooking or just what he was up to. Always so upbeat and positive, I'll miss that!

John was a kind and loving man. A good friend indeed. I will miss his passion for wildlife and all the pictures he captured that he sent along via text and email. Many pictures would come at the break of day when the birds were at their glory at the bird feeder. It was always a joy to talk to him. He is truly missed.

John was one of my favorite customers at the Nashua Trader Joe’s. We became friends and would share photos of hummingbirds, flowers, dogs and more while chatting in the store. Over the last year of the pandemic I got to know him much better through outdoor visits and text correspondence most days. He became such a good friend and I truly enjoyed sharing his love of cooking, bird watching, and just hearing about his days. I loved visiting him for walks- he loved the company especially as I...

As one of John's neighbors, we were privileged to be able to see him every morning on his walk around the neighborhood. John would make the kids laugh, share his nature photos, leave us flowers and occasionally one of his delicious dishes.

Attached is a picture I grabbed of him at our block party in 2019. We will miss him dearly.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. I am sorry to his family for his sudden loss. John was a very interesting and sweet man. He and I shared a passion for birds, animals, nature, jokes (especially Irish ones!) and recipes. The State Street neighborhood will never be the same. I miss him dearly.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your loved one, may God give you strength and comfort during this difficult time. (Psalms 46 :1)
