Maurice Stearns Obituary
Concord, NH — Maurice "Buz" Stearns, 89, passed away on Wednesday, May 25, 2022 at Havenwood Heritage Heights in Concord, New Hampshire. He was lovingly surrounded by family members during his last hours.
Buz had a generous heart, a giving nature, and a kind attitude towards everyone. He had a lifelong passion for cars and spent many days tinkering in his garage and restoring Mustangs. He could be seen at UNH basketball games or following his favorite Patriots football team. He taught many Littleton-area children to ski.
Buz was proud of his children and grandchildren. He extolled the virtues of hard work, compassion, and ethics in all of his children.
Buz married the late Nancy Jane Ross in 1958. The couple spent their early years raising four children in Littleton, New Hampshire, then later lived in Laconia and Gilmanton.
He had a long career working for the New Hampshire's Department of Transportation, with a notable surveying project being the Cannon Mountain Tramway. Not one to retire, he continued his passion for cars by driving for several dealerships.
Buz is survived by his four children, Melissa Stearns-Hyde (Scott Hyde), Christine Bane (Vince Bane), Gordon Stearns (Jen Drinen), Carrie Stearns and grandchildren, Allegra Hyde, Connor Hyde, Leah Bane, Tanner Bane, Lauren Stearns and Gary Stearns. He is also survived by his sister, Roberta Lavoie and brother, Robert "Stub" Stearns.
A memorial service will be held at Havenwood Heritage Heights in Concord, New Hampshire this summer.
