Wilson Byerhoff Obituary
His family moved from Texas when he was four years old. He was raised in Ridgefield Connecticut, where he graduated from Ridgefield High School in 1977. From there, Ed traveled to many parts of the world, either sight-seeing with family or through his time served with the US Marine Corps and the US Navy.
When he settled in New Hampshire, he found many passions in life including: the art of stained glass, contracting, and motorcycling. His latest passion was the love of "salt life" enjoying the ocean and enjoying his inner pirate through pirate re-enactment!
He lived by his favorite quote, "I won't be insulted. I won't be wronged. I won't be laid a hand on. I do not do these things to other people and I expect the same from them" (John Wayne).
He was employed by Sturm Ruger, where he had various duties, and was always a cheery personality and could always make people smile.
Ed is survived by his wife, Rona (McInnis) Byerhoff, of Bennington, his son and granddaughter, Benjamin and Evelyn Byerhoff of Concord, his daughter, son-in-law and grandson, Jillian, Joseph and Lucas Almeida of Loudon, his wife's children, James Griswold and his wife, Shelley of Bennington, and Scott Griswold and his fiancé, Liz Zaluki, and their children Cadence and Eivin of Bennington.
He is predeceased by both of his parents, his brother, Craig, and his late wife, Janet Byerhoff (Normile).
A celebration of Ed's life will be held on Sunday, September 18 at 1 p.m. at the American Legion Post #59, Hillsborough, NH.
In lieu of flowers the family suggests that memorial contributions be made in Ed's name to: American Diabetes Association, 1701 North Beauregard Street, Alexandria, Virginia 22311.

To my daughter, and my son....I have seen both courage and strength in you both this past week with the passing of your father. I am very proud to have you both in my life. Through all the trials and tribulations that we all endured through the years, I know that your dad loved you as much as I do. That is more than I can express verbally. Please know I am here... and always by your sides.
