Facility. He was born April 23, 1937 in Northwood, NH, the son of
George Pease, Sr. and DorothyCorliss Pease.
He went
to Coe-Brown Academy and was in the Air Force from 1954-57. He
worked at Rumford Press and St. Paul’s School in Concord where he
was fondly called, “the Bear.” Everyone loved our dad.
He was
a long time resident of Epsom where we four kids, his grandchildren,
family and friends have our happiest memories. Christmas was always
special with a big Christmas Eve party with everyone welcome.
It was
always fun to see George with his siblings. They would laugh and
joke, having the best time doing nothing but being together.
In
addition to his parents, George was pre-deceased by his wife of 30
years, Coni Pease, brother Richard Pease and grandson, Justin
Poster.
He is
survived by two daughters, Nicki Gagnon and husband George, Billie
Blodgett and husband Skip, both from Deerfield; two sons, Dandi
Pease and wife Sharon, and Loni Pease, both from Virginia; six
grandchildren, April , Poster, Coni Baines, Matt Tavello, Raven
Blodgett, Brianne Pease, Kiley Pease and six great-grandchildren;
two brothers Kenny Pease and wife Betty, Charles Pease and wife
Judy; three sisters, Marion Lovely and husband Joe, Joan Leffel and
husband Lee, and Girace Pease spouse, Marie; sister in-law Sue Pease
and many nieces and nephews.
George
is also survived by his soulmate Jeannie Bernies, whom he has been
with the past 15 years in Limestone, Maine. Together they laughed a
lot, loved deeply, and lived life to its fullest every day. He was
very fond of her children and family and many friends. As his four
children, we say goodbye to a man we proudly called “DA.”
