Paul J. Peloquin, age 86, of Fall River, passed away July 7th, 2017 unexpectedly at his home. He was the husband of the late Claire Y. (Gagnon) Peloquin and the late Lorraine L. (Charron) Giroux Peloquin. Born in Fall River, he was the son of the late Joseph Peloquin and the late Blanche (Beliveau) Peloquin. He was a graduate of Msgr.

Mr. Peloquin worked at the Fall River Electric Light Company and later at Raytheon Corporation where he spent 25 years as a Systems Analyst supervisor. He was a member of St. Annes parish. Paul was also a member of the Fall River Rod and Gun club and enjoyed sailing and reading. Pauls greatest love in life was spending time with his family and friends. He was ready to lend a helping hand at a moments notice to anyone who needed it. He was known for providing transportation for his children, grandchildren or friends whenever and wherever they needed it, right up until the day he passed away. He will surely be missed at many of the area restaurants where he was a regular customer and known to treat many a family member or friend to a meal. His generosity was unsurpassed. Among many things, his family will miss his daily phone calls to check on everyone, including the pets. He is survived by two sons, Paul J. A. Peloquin and his wife Junice of Fall River, and Robert L. Peloquin and his wife Maureen of Westport, MA; Two step-daughters, Suzanne M. Audette of Freetown, MA and Michele L.
