He was predeceased by his loving wife, Madeline (Maddie), with whom he was married for 64 years.
He was a communicant and usher of St. John the Evangelist Church in Concord for over 55 years. In his retirement, our Dad kept very busy with his woodworking and was a member of the Merrimack County Artisans for over 12 years. He was also involved for many years with several Bishop Brady fundraisers. Mom and Dad loved to travel and did so extensively with friends. Our Dad was a strong, kind person and a loving husband and father, who greeted everyone with a smile.

He also leaves his grandchildren, Jennifer Del Deo, Edward Denoncourt, Jr. and Jeffrey Haskett; his great-children, Shelby Denoncourt, Maisy Del Deo and Carmela Del Deo, and many nieces and nephews.
