Samuel LeBaron Abbott, Jr. age 65, resident of Milford, New Hampshire died August 8, 2016 at the VA Hospital in West Roxbury, MA surrounded by his loving family.
He was born in Boston, Massachusetts on
Dec. 9, 1950 a son of the late Samuel L & Mary J (Walsh Abbott.
Sam made his home in the Milford area for the past seven years, having formerly resided in Greenfield for several years and Wilton, NH for many years. Sam was as those familiar knew him to be a very hard working man. He did everything in his power to support and provide for his family. Sam had fond memories of cutting stone at Barretto Granite in Milford, NH as well as tending to the particulars of servicing the Southegan Woods Golf Course of Amherst, NH. He was a man of many trades, working with everything from lumber to stone and from golf courses to bounty-hunting.
While Sam vested most of his energy into striking balance between work, family and making sure his home in Greenfield had the best lawn in the neighborhood, he maintained his reputation as an avid fisherman throughout his life. In his earlier years he was akin to building cars, hunting and always maintaining peak physical fitness. Sam went as far as earning a black belt in the martial art of Shotokan after what must have been a long and exhaustive course of training. Sam delighted in spending time with his family, especially with his beloved grandson Liam.
Sam was most proud for his honorable service in the US Marine Corps; a distinguished veteran of the Vietnam War. Testament to the saying, "Once a Marine, always a Marine," he thoroughly exemplified this institution with his every action. Throughout his life, he was incredibly organized and remarkably well-mannered. Sam was the epitome of a gentleman: the type of man who would pull a chair out for a woman without having to think twice.
Burial with military honors in Laurel Hill Cemetery, Wilton, NH.
