John Francis Padellaro

Oct 26, 2022

John Francis Padellaro, 63, of Hudson, New Hampshire, passed away surrounded by family on Oct. 20, 2022, after his battle with cancer.

John was born on May 29, 1959, to the late Joseph and Elsie (Lasda) Padellaro of Lexington, Massachusetts. After graduating from Lexington High School in 1977, he continued his studies at Cape Cod Community College, and later graduated from Bentley University in 1989.

John always had a passion for the outdoors. He loved being at the beach, kayaking, camping, snorkeling, snowmobiling, going for walks and riding his motorcycles. John was an avid animal lover and always a proud dog owner. He was admired by all for his hard work, never asking someone to do something he wasn’t willing to do himself. He was an honest and honorable man to the core. His sarcasm and humor will surely be missed by all who loved John.

John is survived by his life partner, Doris (Grainger) Padellaro; their daughter and son-in-law, Nicole and Timothy Spano; and their son and daughter-in-law, John and Tara (Surette) Padellaro. He will be lovingly missed by his six grandchildren, Liam, Gabriella, Jayden, Jack, Malcolm, and Theodore. He also is survived by brothers, Brian, Joseph, Marc and Andrew.
