Bob Chouinard
I don't know Bob, just listing the obit.
Robert A. Chouinard, 74, a resident of Nashua, NH, died on the morning of Wednesday, February 29, 2012 after a long period of declining health. He was the husband of Anita (Stulgis) Chouinard for 31 years.
Mr. Chouinard was born in Nashua on December 6, 1937, a son of the late Joseph P. and Ida M. (Ouellette) Chouinard. A resident of Nashua for most of his life, Bob also made his home in Wilton, NH. He graduated from Nashua High School in 1957 and served with the U.S. Army in Korea. As a young man, Bob was a radio announcer, but later found his life’s work as a painting and decorating contractor. He was well known as a fine craftsman and took great pride and pleasure in his work, especially restoring his beautiful Victorian home in Wilton, where the family resided for 25 years. He also was a well-known disc-jockey.
While serving as President of the New Hampshire Painting & Decorating Contractors of America, Bob spearheaded charitable work for many beneficiaries, including the Nashua Children’s Home. He belonged to both the Nashua and Wilton Historical Societies and served as secretary of the Heritage Commission for several years. The Wilton Lioness Club made him an honorary member in recognition of the many hours he spent assisting his wife and the club members with numerous fund raising events.
