Richard Eastman Obituary

Richard H. Eastman

Franconia, NH - We are sad to announce the passing of Richard Henry Eastman, son of Henry and Esther Eastman, on January 27, 2024. He lived to the age of 80 and passed away peacefully surrounded by his loved ones.

Richard had an innate passion for antiquing, cooking, fine arts, and nature. He was always cracking a joke and loved to see people smile. He saw the best in others and found great peace in the Bethany Congregational Church in Pike, NH.

Richard is survived by his wife Lillian Eastman, his daughter Stephanie Giffard, and his grandchildren Nathan and Noah Giffard.

Memorial Service will be held at 2:00pm Saturday, February 24, 2024 at Concordia Lutheran Church, 211 North Main Street in Concord, NH.

We met Dick in the early 1970's when he, Lillian, and Stephanie moved to New Boston ... We have many fun-loving memories with Dick's larger than life adventurous spirit ... attending concerts, 4th of July fireworks displays, excursions to the beach - every time being with Dick and Lil was the most fun ... Memories of him will forever be in our hearts ... Our sincerest condolences to Lillian and Stephanie, and his grandboys Nathan and Noah ... Love, Sharon Todd and Bill Elliott

I met Dick and Lil while my then husband and I were having auctions....they were avid and busy in the antique and collectibles business. I visited them at their home in Pike, N.H ....I bought things from them that I could resell. It was always a joy to spend time with them....they were devoted to each other....and were funny and fun!
Dear Lil and Stephanie and her family .....I am so sorry for your loss. I will always think of the twinkle in Dicks eyes as he made a joke....Lil....I am thinking of you ...you are in my heart.....Carol (Eaton) Penland......and my now husband David sends his love also......
