He later worked as a professional driver for JH Lynch Company in Cumberland, RI, for 24 years. He was a proud member of the Teamsters Local 251.

Mr. Poirier was a member of St. Aidan/St. Patrick Parish in Cumberland.

He was a proud member of the Knights of Columbus, as well as a volunteer on the Ashton Rescue, and Ashton Fire Tax Collector.

He is survived by his children, Suzanne LaLiberte and her husband Kenneth of Cumberland, Monique Eaton and her husband Kip of Barrington, and Mark Poirier and his wife Sandy of Seekonk; his seven grandchildren, Kip, Kara Ann, Alyse, Klark, Phillip, Jacob, and Corinne; and his three great-grandchildren, Callum, Olivia and Skylar.
