Robert J. Beairsto

Robert J. Beairsto, 93, of New Hampshire, passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 9th, with his devoted wife, Mary Ann, by his side.

Born in Yonkers, New York, Bob was one of five children and enjoyed his relationship with his brothers and sisters throughout his life. After graduating from high school, he proudly served his country by enlisting in the U.S. Navy. Following his service, Bob moved to New Mexico with his first wife, Joan Beairsto, where he attended New Mexico A&M College and earned his degree in Electrical Engineering in 1958.

Bob’s career took him from Seattle to Massachusetts and ultimately to New Hampshire, where he built a life centered around hard work and family. Over the years, he held several engineering positions and earned his master’s degree before founding his own business, Orange Electric. His skill, creativity, and dedication to his craft were evident in every project he touched.

Bob raised five children—four sons and one daughter—instilling in them values of independence, inventiveness and creativity. He was predeceased by his beloved daughter Barbara and son Jim. He is survived by his sons Pat, Chris, and Mike, who will always remember him for his sense of humor, his laugh and the professional example he set for them.

In later years, Bob and Mary Ann enjoyed a fulfilling retirement in Florida, where Bob relished the warm weather and the chance to leave the snow behind. His passions included golf, home improvement, and modernizing his surroundings with both craftsmanship and technology.

Bob will be remembered for his wit, his contagious laugh and inventive spirit. His presence will be deeply missed but fondly remembered by all who knew him.
