Obituary, Chadwick Funeral Service (New London, NH), Thu, 17 Aug 2023:
SPRINGFIELD, NH - Peter "Pete" Abair died unexpectedly at his home in Springfield, NH on August 13, 2023 at the age of 67.
Pete was born on February 18, 1956 in Lebanon, NH to Eunice Elizabeth Mason and Edward Joseph Abair.
Pete was raised in Springfield, NH and had attended Kearsarge High School. Pete was always busy doing something. All of the people that knew him knew there wasn't much the man couldn't fix or figure out how to. He was a man of many trades. His father-in-law gave him the nickname "MacGyver".
Pete worked at the Tannery in the 70's and onto Split Ball Bearing in the late 80's early 90's. He was always finding odd jobs to do as well. He worked on and off helping various Road Agents in Springfield. Pete spent most of his life in Springfield except a small period of time where he moved to Barre, VT. He had said many times it wasn't for him and that Springfield was his home.
Pete married Susan Howlett of Springfield, NH August 20, 1994. Together they had five boys.
Pete started PA Construction in 1993. He discovered after using an excavator one day that he had a true natural talent, and it was something he truly enjoyed doing. In the winter months he contracted with the State of NH to plow. Anyone who knew him knew he loved being outside. Pete continued operating PA Construction until January of 2011 when he went to work for the Town of Springfield as the Road Agent. He worked there until recently retiring on June 30, 2023.
Pete had a passion for hunting. To say he loved it was an understatement. He loved deer, pheasant, bear, and turkey hunting. Pete was like a little kid on Christmas morning every opening day of deer season. Unless he had to plow roads, he was in the woods. Everyone who knew him would say the same. He loved the serenity and peacefulness of the woods. He was a true marksman. He enjoyed passing the same love of hunting onto his sons and grandson. He was just as excited every youth weekend taking his sons out and then looked forward to taking his grandson.
Pete was a true outdoorsman. He loved hiking, snowmobiling and his second love after deer hunting was spending time at his camp in Pittsburg, NH. Pete loved hanging with his family and friends, playing horseshoes, cornhole or just sitting around the fire pit listening to music. Anyone who was lucky enough to meet him loved him. He was always willing to lend a hand. He was a kind, caring, giving man.
Peter is predeceased by both his parents, his infant sister, Jeannie Marie, and an infant son, Todd.
He is survived by his wife, Susan of Springfield and his sons, Jason Abair and significant other, Jodi Gilman of Warner, NH, Nathan Abair of Sunapee, NH and significant other, Naomi Gambino, Marc Abair and significant other, Tanner Meeker of Ft Myers, FL, Austin Abair and his fiancée, Abigail Peterson of Springfield, NH, and Billy Fillippone and his fiancé, Roma Minery of Loudon, NH. He is also survived by his five beautiful grandchildren: Bradly, Kendyl, Oaklynn, Waylon, and Ava. He is survived by his five brothers: Albert Abair of Springfield, NH, Eddie Abair and wife, Donna of Springfield, NH, Barney Abair and wife, Tammy of Springfield, NH, Phil Abair and his wife, Doris of Andover, NH, and David Abair and wife, Kathy of Lewiston, MI, and many nieces and nephews.
Calling hours are scheduled for Monday evening, August 21st from 5-7 pm at the Chadwick Funeral Home, 235 Main Street, New London, NH.
Services will be held at the Springfield, NH Meetinghouse, Four Corners Road, at 11:00 A.M. on Tuesday August 22nd with a celebration of life to follow below in the town hall. A graveside service will be held for family after the service.
In lieu of flowers please send donations to the NH Fish and Game in Pete's name.
