Robert H. Brewster, 88, passed away peacefully on August 22, 2023 at Dover Rehab Facility. Born on July 23, 1935 in Dover, NH, Robert was the son of the late Harry and Blanche (Legacy) Brewster.
Robert grew up in Somersworth, NH and was a graduate of Somersworth High School. Following graduation, he went on to begin his trade as a welder, eventually working his way into a position at Pratt & Whitney in North Berwick. He retired from there in 1999.
When away from work, Robert was a skilled craftsman and adored woodworking. He also put a lot of effort into his garden and loved listening to a good country music song from time to time. He enjoyed working on his vehicles and was a big fan of Ford.
Along with his parents, Robert is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Sara, brother Bill and sisters Shirley and Ruth.
Left to cherish his memory are his loving daughters, Linda Merrill; Laurie Bridges and husband, Dustin Bridges; and grandchildren, Seth and Adam Bridges. In addition, he leaves behind several nieces and nephews.
A private graveside service will be held at Woodlawn Cemetery in South Berwick on Friday, September 1, 2023.
