Philip J. Grillo Sr.
Barnstead Selectman
BARNSTEAD - Philip James “Chickie”
Grillo Sr., 61, of South Barnstead Road, died
Wednesday, Dec. 16, 2009, at home of natural
causes.
He was born July 3, 1948, in Lawrence,
Mass., the son of Charles and Josephine Grillo.
He was educated in Lawrence schools and was a
graduate of Lawrence Technical High School in
1966. He held track records at the Tech for many
years.
He was an Army veteran of the Vietnam
conflict, serving from 1966 to 1969, when he was
honorably discharged.
He was married to Katherine (Bunce) Jan. 11,
1969, in St. Monica’s Church in Methuen, Mass.
He was employed as a tool and die maker by
Lucent Technologies in North Andover, Mass., for
more than 30 years, retiring in 1999.
He was an active member of St. Basil’s
Christian community where he served as an
Eucharistic minister. He was the chairman of the
annual Christmas fair and served in the cursillo
ministry for many years.
He moved to New Hampshire in 1997 and has
been a Barnstead resident since 2005. He served
as a selectman since 2008 and served on several
committees in town. His goal was to be the voice
of the people and to extend compassion and
fairness to those who needed it most. He was
always offering a kind word or funny antidote in
any difficult situation. As an example of his
compassion, and a long serving community
commitment, he led an effort to restore
vandalized headstones in a cemetery in Lawrence,
Mass., in the 1970s. Many of those affected were
elderly and unable to pay. The event was
chronicled in the Lawrence Eagle Tribune and
that spurred many benefactors to contribute to
the effort. He was an avid golfer and handyman,
but he devoted most of his time to his children
and grandchildren.
He is survived by his wife of 40 years,
Katherine (Bunce) Grillo of Barnstead; a son,
Philip J. Grillo Jr. and his wife, Heidi, of
Chichester; three daughters, Lori Nolin and her
husband, Tom, of Chichester, Kerri Grillo-Berard
and her husband, Jeff, of Lowell, Mass., and

five grandchildren, Laci Grillo, Juliana,
Abagale and Jeffrey Grillo-Moore and Tyler
Nolin; a brother, Charles Grillo Jr. of Ft.
Myers, Fla.; and two sisters, Francis Whal of
Ft. Myers, Fla., and Joanna MacPherson of
Evansville, Ind.
