Edward Joaquin Obituary

Edward H. Joaquin

Concord, NH - Edward H. Joaquin, 83, of Concord, NH, passed away peacefully on July 30, 2024, with his loving children by his side. He was born in Concord, NH on September 19, 1940 to Norman F. Joaquin & Francis A. (Gray) Joaquin.

Edward married his sweetheart, Georgianna G. (Sinclair) Joaquin, on October 7, 1961 and was very happily married to her for 59 years until her passing. They had three children, Scott, Cheryl and Edward (Chip). He grew up in Penacook, NH and graduated in 1958 from Penacook High School. He worked 9 years at Cilley Auto Body and a short time at Pitco Frialator. He then spent 27 years proudly working for the Concord Fire Department, retiring as a Battalion Chief. After his retirement, he worked many years for the Concord School District as a bus driver. Family was everything to him. He always wanted to help and do anything he could for them. He loved spending time with his wife and kids at their summer camp on Lake Winnipesaukee as well as many family vacations. Ed loved to tinker, and could fix, pretty much anything. He was a hard worker and took pride in everything he did. In his retirement years, he enjoyed going for afternoon car rides with his wife, especially when they stopped for ice cream. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.

Ed is predeceased by his wife: Georgianna; his son: Scott; and his eldest brother: Frederick Joaquin. He is survived by his daughter: Cheryl and her husband Dennis Hill of Concord; his son: Edward "Chip" Joaquin of Waltham, MA; his youngest brother, Reginald Joaquin; and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.

Ed was a great neighbor when my wife and I purchased our first house on Carter St. I called on him often for tips when I was remodeling or fixing the house, and he was always ready to come over and help if I needed it. His son Chip and our son Sean were best friends in their pre-school and first years at Conant until we moved to East Concord. We were happy to watch Ed move up the chain of command with his hard work at the Fire Department.

I'm sorry to hear of the passing of Chief Joaquin. I worked with him for many years at CFD. He was a good man and a good fire officer. His family should be very proud of him.
