Joe Kasper

1954 - 2024

Joe Kasper of Weare, N.H., woke up on July 16, 2024, in his usual way - eager to greet a new day, singing a song of a beautiful morning. He gave a kiss to his soulmate and wife of 47 years, JoAnn, and took off in one of his prized possessions (second only to his hot tub) for his home-away-from-home at Northeast Delta Dental in Concord, where he worked as the Director of Corporate Services for over 20 years. He moved on from this world suddenly on a morning full of some of his favorite things.

Joe was born in 1954 to Joseph and Marie Kasper alongside brother, James, and sister, Nora Silvia, in Laconia. He attended Laconia High School and went on to study business at Saint Anselm College.

To meet Joe was to be lucky enough to know the kindest person. So when he crossed JoAnn's path in 1974 at the Laconia Church Bingo Hall, she fell for his charismatic personality. They married on May 14, 1977 and created a family with two children, Tiffany, 40, and Alex, 37, settling in Hudson for 18 years.

Joe figuratively wore just as many hats as he literally collected over his lifetime. At home he was a loving husband, caring father and oftentimes clumsy handyman, who strove to ensure his family's happiness. A larger than life personality standing at 5' 5," Joe's calling outside of work and family focused on giving back to his community as an active member of such organizations as the Hudson Lions, Concord Chamber of Commerce and Toastmasters, among others.

The Kasper family invites all to a celebration of his life being held on Aug. 24 at Northeast Delta Dental, 1 Delta Drive, Concord, NH 03301, from 1-5 p.m. Inquiries can be directed to www.joekasper.com.
