Howard T. Punsky, 68, of Manchester, NH, passed away after a sudden illness on October 17, 2020. Born on September 18, 1952 to Alfred Punsky & Bessie Frager, Howard would go on to marry his best friend Susan Allard, with whom he shared over 19 years of loving marriage.
Howard spent his childhood in Portland, ME and the majority of his adult life in Manchester, NH. He worked in the flooring industry for a good part of his life, ending his career with Rebecca's Floor Design Co.
Of all the things Howard will be remembered for, his smile and sense of humor will come to mind first. He was always quick with a joke, easy with a smile, and could bring joy and laughter to anyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. He loved being with friends and family, especially time spent cooking for others and camping at Calef Lake, where memories of Howard fishing, canoeing, cooking and enjoying a drink by the fire will not be soon forgotten.
Howard is survived by his wife Susan Allard; sons Alan & Alex; daughters Andrea & Elizabeth; Nieces Sam & Shannon; as well as many grandchildren, friends and extended family. He also leaves behind his 2 dogs Guinness & Murphy, who will miss him very much.
A Celebration of Howard's life will be held on Friday, October 23rd from 4:00 PM - 6:30 PM at Phaneuf Funeral Homes, 243 Hanover St. Manchester, NH.
