Robert Bergeron Obituary

With deep sadness, we announce the passing of Robert Benoit Bergeron, 78, of Goffstown, NH, who passed away at home on April 21, 2021. Born in Lambton, Quebec, Canada on January 29, 1943, he was the youngest of thirteen children to the late Joseph and Marie (Laurendeau) Bergeron. He shared over 50 years of companionship with his wife, Maureen "Sandy" (McQuade) Bergeron.

Robert was raised in Sherbrooke, Quebec and as a young man moved to New Hampshire where he resided in Manchester and Goffstown. He was a master mechanic and sheet metal worker and was a member of the New England Sheet Metal Union for over 40 years. In his spare time, he loved spending time outside - be it hunting, fishing, or doing yardwork, he loved the smell of fresh air and feeling of sunshine on his face. Robert enjoyed being a part of the local community and was a lifetime member of the Rimmon Club. The pillar of strength in his family, Robert was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin and friend who will be missed by all and remembered for his kind heart and sense of humor.

Robert is survived by his wife, Maureen "Sandy" Bergeron; his children, Lori Vincent (Dennis), Sheri McQuade, and Marc Bergeron (Lindsey); his grandchildren, Benjamin, Jonathan, Caitlin (Rob), Kristina, Owen and Henry; his great-grandchildren, Kameron, Lucien, Thomas, Charlotte, Declan, and Meredith; his sisters, Jacqueline, Jeannine, Rita and Gertrude; his sister-in-law, Dorothea; many nieces and nephews, including two special nieces, Lise Marie Therrien (Peter) and Therese Maurice; as well as countless extended family members and friends. In addition to his parents, Robert was predeceased by his siblings, Olivette, Leopold, Henri-Louis, Donald, Bernadette, Laurette, Clement, and Louis-Philippe, as well as several brother and sister in laws.

Robert's visitation will be held on Saturday, April 24th from 12-2pm with a funeral service to take place in the funeral home chapel at 2pm at Phaneuf Funeral Homes and Crematorium, 243 Hanover Street, Manchester, NH. He will be laid to rest on Monday, April 26th at 10am at Mount Calvary Cemetery, 474 Goffstown Road, Manchester. Those in attendance are respectfully requested to wear face coverings and practice social distancing.

Those who are unable to attend in person are invited to view the live stream of the funeral service Saturday, April 24th at 2pm at https://phaneuf.net/streaming, password: streaming

Lise, Therese, Rita, Sandy, Marc and Family, We are so very sorry to hear about Rob. We know he had an extremely special part in your lives and his loss will leave a deep void. We will always remember when he lived across the street from us with Lise, Therese and Rita. He was so kind, friendly and funny. And even though Jess would panic if she was at your house when he came home from work (when she was very little), he showed her great patience with her shyness until she overcame her hesitancy and grew to like his teasing. Our hearts go out to you during this horribly difficult time. Please know that our love and prayers are with ALL of your families. We hope that your wonderful memories of Rob will help to ease your profound sorrow.
