Robert Parkhurst Obituary
Born in Stoneham, Mass., on July 23, 1949, he was the son of Charles and Barbara (Brooks) Parkhurst. He graduated from Winnacunnet High School in Hampton. After graduation, he served in the U.S. Navy.
Before retiring, he worked 23 years for the City of Manchester. In addition, he was employed as an IBEW electrician, working for both Local #719 and Local #490.
Robert will be remembered as a man who was a master of all trades. There was nothing he couldn't fix and enjoyed working on cars. His dream car was a 1956 Chevy. He loved traveling and spending summers with his wife at their summer house in Wells, Maine. Above all else, he will be remembered as a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, brother-in-law and friend who will be greatly missed.
