Gerald ‘Jerry’ R. Morin

Gerald “Jerry” R. Morin, 90, of Nashua, passed away at Southern NH Medical Center on Aug. 30, 2022, surrounded by his loving family.

Born on Dec. 20, 1931, he was the son of the late Joseph Morin and Eva (Gamache) Morin. His predeceased siblings were Norman (Bill) Morin, Maurice (Curly) Morin and Collette Grenon.

Jerry was the loving husband of Leona “Tootsie” (Desmarais) Morin with whom he shared 66 years of marriage. At age 22 he was drafted into the Army and sent to Korea, serving as an MP. Afterward, he dedicated 36 years to Lockheed-Sanders, where he worked as a Foreman.

Jerry could fix anything! He loved working on his cars and teaching kids and grandkids to change their oil, etc. The Bruins were his favorite team, but would cheer for the Patriots and Red Sox, too. Jerry and his wife, Tootsie, enjoyed spending the summer months by the pool with the kids and grandkids. In winter, they enjoyed spending time at Cape Canaveral, Florida, in their early retirement years.

In addition to his wife, Tootsie, Jerry was the greatest dad to his four kids. He is survived by his daughters, Louise Dichard and her husband Thomas of Hudson, New Hampshire; Claire St. Lawrence and her husband Tom of Nashua; Ellen Flanagan and her husband Bill of Pepperell, Massachusetts; his son Paul Morin of Nashua; 10 grandchildren, Daniel Dichard and his fiancée Lynn McGrath, Melissa Duval and her partner Ryan Duval, Kimberly Nickerson and her husband Brian, Patrick Dichard and his wife Emily Plumeau, Ryan St. Lawrence and his wife Kim, AJ St. Lawrence and his wife Danielle, Scott St. Lawrence and his fiancée Tess Chandler, Joseph Morin and his wife Laura, Matthew Flanagan and his wife Ashley, Kelly Iovanna and her husband Matthew and 16 greatgrandchildren. He also leaves behind and will be greatly missed by many nieces, nephews and cousins.
