Robert Dodge Obituary
Born in Manchester, he was the son of the late Fred and Victoria (Rupprecht) Dodge. He enlisted in the United States Air Force and proudly served his country during World War II. Following his honorable discharge, he returned to New Hampshire and resided in Epping for most of his life before moving to Merrimack 11 years ago.
After a long career in major corporation sales, Robert purchased a hardware store in Epping, which became known as Dodge General Supply. After selling his business, he became actively involved in local politics, serving on the Epping Board of Selectmen for many years and as a State Representative in the New Hampshire House of Representatives for 10 years. After his retirement, he held positions with the Rockingham County Sheriff's Office and Jail.
He was predeceased by his wife of nearly 62 years, Irene L. (Stokes) Dodge, who passed away in August of 2016.
He is survived by his children: Marlene Charleston and Rory Davies of North Conway, Gregory Dodge and his wife Lisa of Epping, Karen Dodge of Merrimack, Gail Dodge-Hankin and her wife Deborah of Pensacola, FL, and Timothy Dodge and Mindy of Poland, OH. He is also survived by six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren: Jake Dodge and his wife Jill, Kristyn Sizemore and her daughter Mia, Courtney Dodge and her daughter Avery, Kailey Dodge and her daughter Sophia, Katharine Shabram and her husband Josh and Matthew Dodge.
