Peter A. Gauthier
Peter A. Gauthier, 78, of Littleton passed away quietly at Littleton Regional Hospital on Saturday, July 8th. A man of generous deeds and few words, Peter loved his family, his friends, his dog Jake, and his home on Partridge Lake. He frequently shared his famous oatmeal chocolate chips cookies with many.
He is survived by his beloved wife Millie Nelson of Littleton; brother Paul and his wife Shari of Bend, Oregon; three sons from his first marriage: Michael of Rutland, VT, his wife Jackie, and their children Zachary, Katie, and Alison; Kenneth of Londonderry, NH, his wife Susan, and their children Traynor, Cuyler and his wife Kathleen Stewart; Daniel of Concord, NH and his wife Kelly, and Dan's son, Cameron; Several nieces, nephews, and cousins. He is pre-deceased by granddaughter Taylor Gauthier.
An accomplished artist, Peter spent his career in the printing industry, and owned the Littleton Sign Shop in recent years. His work can still be seen throughout the Littleton area. He was an avid sportsman, having enjoyed decades of boating, hunting, and camping. He was a Class A badminton and horseshoe player, and a black belt in judo. He was also an expert fly fisherman, who tied flies by hand, and also served as a fishing guide for northern New Hampshire.
Golf was a particular love, playing hundreds of rounds at dozens of courses all over New England and Florida. He was happiest playing tournaments with his three boys and grandsons, collecting many trophies.
Born June 11, 1939 to Albert E. and Alta (Fitzpatrick) Gauthier in Franklin, NH, Peter lived in several towns, including Claremont, NH, and graduated from Stevens High School in 1957. He continued his education at New Hampshire Technical College, and served six years in the United States Coast Guard.
Calling hours will be on Saturday, July 22 at Pillsbury Funeral Home in Littleton, NH from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, followed by a graveside service at the Glenwood Cemetery. All are then encouraged to join Peter's family with a celebration of life at Ernsberger's home at 68 Herrick Point Road, Partridge Lake, Littleton. In light of Peter's love of golf, please feel free to wear your golf attire for all services.
THE GREATEST GIFT
In the End...
Was a FAMILY,
And a FRIEND,
An EAR to LEND,
A HAND to HOLD,
And YOU,
MY FRIEND --
YOUR HEART OF GOLD
