Joseph A. Doiron

JEFFERSON - Joseph A. Doiron, 93, died Sunday morning, December 27, 2015 at The Morrison in Whitefield. Mr. Doiron was born and raised in Berlin, NH, the son of Andre and Marie Rose (Landry) Doiron. He worked as a carpenter during his time in the Navy during WWII and for over 60 years built and remodeled numerous homes in the Northern part of New Hampshire. He took pride in every task treating it as his own. A devoted father and husband, he and his wife, Jacqueline (Clermont) Doiron, raised three children and in 1969 moved his family to Jefferson where they had, ten years prior, purchased and ran the once Woodford House but now renamed the Clermont after his wife's family name. In the late 1970's he and his son set about the engineering task of building a solar home which he and his wife moved into in the mid 1980's following the sale of the Clermont. After his wife's death in 2004 he, at the age of 82, with the help of his son-in-law, built the beautiful home he has lived in until July of this year when he became a resident of The Morrison due to failing health. An avid organic gardener, there was never a spot inside or outside of the house that did not show off his expertise nor did a day go by where he lacked a new joke to share and only in the more recent years have his tackle boxes collected dust. His final days were spent at The Morrison where, in his knowing what lie ahead, looked forward to leaving the cares of this earth to bask in the presence of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Young and old family and friends awaited his arrival on the other side. Tenacious of character he was respected and loved by many. He leaves behind wonderful, caring friends. Surviving family members include his three children, Gerald Doiron and wife Sandra of Fort Walton Beach, FL, Rachel Shutt and husband Samuel of Phoenix, AZ, Denise Chase of Jefferson; 6 grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by Jacqueline in 2004; two granddaughters Christen Kenison in 2000, Patty Card in 2015; and 8 siblings. A memorial service will be held Saturday afternoon, January 16, at 1:00 PM at the Jefferson Christian Church. Pastor Dean A. Stiles will officiate. Burial will be at a later date in the Kilkenny View Cemetery, Jefferson. In lieu of flowers donations may be made in his memory to the Jefferson Christian Church Haiti Mission.
