Gary A. Hodgdon

NOTTINGHAM – Gary A. Hodgdon, 60, of Nottingham, passed away on Monday, November 5, 2018 at his home with his family by his side following a lengthy and courageous battle with cancer.

Born on January 2, 1958 in Concord, he was the son of the late Maurice and Jean (Andersen) Hodgdon.

Gary worked for many years in the heating business before starting Hodgdon’s Heating, which he ran for 25 years. Gary had a big heart for helping those in need and was an all-around handyman who everyone looked up to. He enjoyed attending antique car shows, tending to his vegetable garden, spending time with his family, and had a love for making Windsor chairs. He was also a member of Walnut Grove Baptist Church in Rochester, NH. He will be missed by all who knew him and his stories will live on through his close family and friends.

Besides his parents, he is predeceased by his brother Kenneth Hodgdon.

He is survived by his wife Terry Hodgdon of Nottingham with whom he shared 39 wonderful years; his daughters, Sara Hodgdon and her husband Steven Blase of Barrington, and Mandy Morales and her husband Daryl of Barrington; his siblings, Wayne Hodgdon, Gloria Lanza, Mike Hodgdon, and Scott Hodgdon.  He was Papa and super hero to Jackson, Connor, and Adelyn and also leaves his beloved family in Norway, numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and lifelong friends.
