In Memoriam Willard R. Lemaire 7/22/2025  
Willard R Lemaire passed away peacefully on June 22nd, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. He was born on September 21, 1939, in Worcester, Massachusetts, to the late Willard R Lemaire and Dorothy (Allison) Lemaire.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Allison, and his sister Sally.
Willard attended high school at Wachusett Regional high school in Holden, Massachusetts. He went on to further his education at Norwich University. He proudly served his country in the United States Army as 1st Lieutenant at Fort Hauchuca, Arizona, demonstrating the dedication and honor that would characterize his entire life.

Following his military service, Willard built a distinguished career in the aerospace and defense industry. He worked for Pratt & Whitney in Connecticut before relocating to New Hampshire, where he continued his career with Sanders Associates in Nashua.

Willard was a devoted member of the Masonic fraternity and the Shriners organization throughout his life. His commitment to service extended beyond his professional career, as he served on the board of directors at the Springfield Shriners Hospital, contributing to the organization's mission of providing specialized medical care to children. His dedication was recognized when he was honored to serve as Potentate for the Bektash Shrine in 2003, a role he held with great pride and distinction. During his time in service to the Shrine, he traveled extensively, representing the organization and furthering its charitable mission.

His love for service and the outdoors started in The Boy Scouts of America where he achieved Eagle Scout. He was a camper, hiker, and sailor, finding peace and adventure in nature's settings. His passion for outdoor activities became a cherished family tradition, as he inspired his children to embrace the same sense of adventure, creating countless memories together in the great outdoors.

He leaves behind his former wife, Linda Lemaire; their daughter Lisa and her husband Jay Berman, their children Allison, Lauren, and Ben; their son David and his wife Monica, with their children Abbey and Taylor, and great-grandchild McKayla.

He also leaves behind his second wife Mildred (Aho) and her children Karen, Dave, his wife Amy, and their children, Jennifer, her husband Dominic, Ericka, William, and great-granddaughter Elizabeth.

Willard's legacy of service, dedication to family, and commitment to helping others will be remembered by all who knew him. His life exemplified the values of honor, service, and compassion that he held dear throughout his journey.
A memorial service will be held at Greendale Peoples Church, 25 Francis St, Worcester, MA, on July 7 at 11 AM followed by a private burial at Hope Cemetery, 119 Webster St, Worcester, MA.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Shriners Children's at https://www.shrinerschildrens.org/

"T" was a graduate of Bishop Bradley High School and earned his bachelor's degree in 1974 from Norwich University. He proudly served in the US Army and retired with an honorable discharge, at the rank of Second Lieutenant. He married the love of his life, "Sam" Vincent in 1969 and together, raised their three fun, feisty, fierce, beautiful girls in the Queen City, which was a community that he was so proud to be a part of.

"T" was a Manchester Icon! In his early years he worked for Easler's Clothing Store, Manchester Parks & Rec., and NETC. He also was a proud owner of Skateboard Center and Mr. T's Drivers Ed School. It was at Central High School where he built his career dedicated to the students of Manchester, as a Physical Education Teacher, where he was known for rocking the two different colored Chuck Taylors. Every student formed a strong bond with "Mr. T" and growing into adults, built long lasting friendships with him. He never forgot a name, any of your accomplishments, or the dumb sh!t you did as a kid and would be the first one to cheer you on with his signature "YAHOO" in either situation. After 34 years at Central High School, "T" retired in 2007, and Sam and T's next adventure began. It led them south to Orlando, before settling in their dream retirement community in LaBelle Florida, where they spent many days by the river, playing cards and enjoying their close-knit LaBelle Community. They would travel back to NH every summer to spend time at Lake Ossipee, with their family and friends, living the best life and making memories.

"T" was a band member of the legendary bands Mystical Flowers, Wholly Righteous and Head Shop. Headshop started in 1988 at the Faculty Follies Show, at Central High School. After 20 years of rockin' in the free world together, they would be seen in local bars and venues, from time to time, and still had a strong following no matter where or when they played.

"T" enjoyed golfing, spending time at the lake and traveling with Sam. They were members of We Travel RV Style. "T" was always up for an adventure. His family was what mattered most in his life and he was, without a doubt, the biggest supporter of his daughters, grandchildren and sons-in-law, and reminded them not to take life to seriously. Above all else, he will be remembered as a devoted and loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend.

Surviving family members include his wife of 56 years, Sandra L. "Sam" (Vincent) Tibbetts of Labelle, FL; three daughters, Kimberly Tyson and her husband Geoffrey of Sandwich, Kelly Tibbetts-Cote and her husband Gary of Manchester and Katie Tibbetts of Manchester; five grandchildren, Berklee and Colbi Vaillancourt, Xavier Soul, Logan Cloutier and Griffin Cote; two sisters, Amy Wilkinson and husband Steve and Cindy McNally and husband Brian; sister-in-law Valerie Tibbetts; and several nieces, nephews, uncles and cousins. He was predeceased by both parents and his brother Gary Tibbetts.

SERVICES: His family will be following T's wishes and hosting a Celebration of Life at a later date, time and location, to be decided soon. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to: Manchester Central High Booster Club at: centralbooster@mansd.org. Lambert Funeral Home & Crematory is assisting the family with arrangements.

"Stay Positive, Be Positive" You were one of the good one's "T" and will remain a legend……"YAHOO"!!!!
In Memoriam Parker Towle 4/24/2025  
Whitefield, NH - Parker Allen Towle was born the only child of Berton Gifford and Pearl Agnes Towle on December 6, 1933, in Holden, MA and died peacefully on May 24, 2025, at The Summit by Morrison in Whitefield, NH. Parker was an honored gentleman, devoted husband, loyal friend, and energetic father. As a man of deep heart and faith, Parker was a longtime member of the Franconia Community Church of Christ. Parker and Phyllis conducted medical missions with Honduras Hope. Parker was a passionate physician and always doing something: healing people, splitting wood, writing cookbooks or poems, reading poetry, and serving dinner to his beloved.

In his youth, Parker enjoyed riding his bike to play piano at a friend's house, hiking with his parents, or fishing the forbidden pond. Admired by his peers, he was president of his high school class, baseball player, and football captain. Parker graduated Yale University with a degree in English where he helped found the still active a capella singing group, The Duke's Men. Upon graduating college, Parker married his high school sweetheart, Phyllis Ann Bartlett, whom he adored for their 70 married years together. After attending the University of Vermont Medical School, he did his internship as Navy lieutenant in Bethesda, MD and Jacksonville, FL, followed by his residency at Yale.

As a clinical neurological pioneer, Parker was the second on Boston's South Shore, practicing and teaching neurology at thirteen different MA hospitals. He built a private practice in Norwood, MA while raising 4 kids in Westwood, MA. When his youngest child graduated from high school, Parker fulfilled a life-long dream of living in the mountains around Easton, NH, which to him was "paradise." He became the first neurologist in New Hampshire's North Country travelling the width from Littleton to Berlin to North Conway. He had a private practice and helped open a free local clinic before joining the staff at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center.

For recreation, he indulged his passions, including skiing, hiking, and winter camping in the White Mountains of NH and Green Mountains of VT. He cooked delicious meals for loved ones, played competitive racquetball, and walked with family and friends. Engaging in sports with abandon, he also found special joy in watching the New England Patriots play football. He played softball after work, was fiercely competitive at racquetball, organized week-long cycling trips, and co-founded the Frontiersmen at Camp Pinnacle in Lyme, NH.

The arc of their life was sprinkled liberally with far off destinations. Their most beloved hikes were coast-to-coast in Northern England, Offa's Dyke in Wales, the Dordogne Valley of France, Josh Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands (returning nearly every year), Amelia Island, and other FL beaches.

Intellectual pursuits and teaching motivated Parker as well. While working full-time (finally retiring at age 80), Parker earned a Masters in Fine Arts for poetry at Vermont College. He taught at Harvard Medical School and Dartmouth Medical School while presenting papers as an active member of the Clinical Society of Neurologists. He wrote poetry, completing 6 self-published books along with many poems published in outdoor magazines. The Writer's Almanac with Garrison Keeler featured his poem Cases in January 2007. On the board of directors of The Frost Place in Franconia, NH, he managed the poetry signs on the nature walk and hosted poetry readings, and generally took care of things.

Parker was first and foremost a family man. He is survived by his wife, four children: Peter G., Daniel P., David B. and Elizabeth S. Towle, and by his four grandchildren: Matthew, Stewart, Jessica, and Morgan.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, May 31, 2025, at the Franconia Community Church of Christ in Franconia, NH at 11:00am. In lieu of flowers, donations are gratefully accepted to the Franconia Community Church of Christ.
In Memoriam Maynard P. Valentine 6/14/2025  
Maynard Pratt Valentine passed away peacefully on Saturday, June 14th after a brave year-long battle with cancer. He was pre-deceased by his mother, Mary Pratt Boyd, and her husband, Edwin, and his father Corbin Braxton Valentine, Jr. and his wife Robin. He is survived by his brother, Corbin Braxton Valentine III (Anne), his sisters, Elizabeth Valentine Patton (Jay), and Lindsay Valentine Chambliss (John), half-sister Robin Valentine, and stepsister Sarah Valentine as well as 4 nieces, 6 nephews, and 8 great nephews.

Pratt graduated from the Blue Ridge School, where he was a three-sport athlete, a Member of the Honor Council, and a Prefect - the highest level of student leadership a young man can achieve at Blue Ridge. After high school, Pratt had a great interest in the United States Military, which led him to Norwich University, America's oldest private military college, from which he graduated in 1986.

The cornerstone of Pratt's adult life was his long career as a United States Marine. Beginning as an enlisted man, Pratt's career spanned 25 years, concluding with his Honorary Discharge for meritorious service in 2014 with the rank of Master Sergeant. During his service, Pratt had the opportunity to serve in several units, travel the world and meet four American Presidents. In retirement, nothing made Pratt prouder than to wear military regalia to formal events and celebrations, a clear sign of his devotion to his country and his values.

Pratt was a patron of several Marine Corps causes as well as the Blue Ridge School and Norwich University alumni associations. He is also celebrated as a winner of the Blue Ridge School's Alumnus of the Year Award, an honor he shares with just 29 other BRS graduates.

A graveside service with full military honors will held on the campus of Blue Ridge School, followed by a reception to celebrate a life well lived at 11:00 am on July 12, 2025. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to St. James's Episcopal Church Richmond, or Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
