Frederick E. Estes
FREDERICK E. ESTES, JR (FRED), 70, a longtime resident of Chichester, passed away peacefully at Epsom Health Care in Epsom, NH on June 29, 2016.
Fred was born in Portsmouth, NH on November 13, 1945 and grew up in Portsmouth, Dover and Northwood. He entered the U.S. Army in 1963 and served at Fort Dix, New Jersey during the Vietnam War.
He worked at Rumford Press in Concord for many years as a pressman and also worked in the office. He later worked as a school bus driver for Concord School District and for H.A. Marston, Inc. in Pittsfield.
Fred enjoyed gardening and puttering around outside. He loved having coffee and donuts and "shooting the bull" with the "townies" at the corner store, and with his co-workers at the bus companies. He loved meandering drives along country roads, documentaries and movies on historical wars and battles, and animal stories.
Fred could come out with the darnedest things and funniest remarks! He will be remembered for his dry wit and making people laugh, his love of nature animals and birds, and for helping small animals.
Fred is survived by his wife of 27 years, Sandra (Graves) Estes of Chichester, his daughters, Leah Estes of Chichester, and Laurelyn Estes of Chichester; stepchildren; a sister-in-law, Anne (Graves) Valence of Pittsfield; a brother-in-law, Jacques Valence of Pittsfield; his mother-in-law, Janet Graves of Loudon; a niece and nephews. He is predeceased by his sister Joan (Estes) Fairbanks of Salem.
A memorial service with full Military Honors will be held at the NH Veteran's Cemetery, 110 Daniel Webster Highway in Boscawen, NH on Saturday, July 16, 2016 at 10:00 am. The Cremation Society on NH is assisting the family with arrangements.
