Bobby Gillcrist, 67, from Woodsville NH, passed away peacefully at his home early on  the 6 ^th of April, but not before finishing an episode of Miami Vice and putting on clean socks.

He leaves behind a wonderfully, funny, caring and spirited family that he was very proud of.

Bobby, was renowned for his lack of patience, interesting temper, not holding back his opinion and a knack for telling it like it is. He always told you the truth even if it wasn't what you wanted to hear and was adamant he was always right-'I'm never wrong, just misunderstood.' With that he was genuine to a fault, a big softie at heart and yet sugar coated nothing.

He had a  sharp tongue and extensive vocabulary, liking four letter words as much as he loved fishing, Chinese food, the Pats, Budweiser, collecting items that didn't work, WWE, camping and of course his grandkids.

These words of encouragement, wisdom, and sometimes comfort, kept us in line, taught us the school of hard knocks and gave us something to pass down to our own children. 'I'm a pain in the neck, but at least I'm constant' was his mantra (clean version at least!) He was hard working, always up before 6am and he made sure the coffee was always brewing.

He was a great cook, loved to BBQ and he always had a DIY project on the go.

All who loved him dearly will never forget his grace (when pertinent), charm (when required), generosity, dependability and supportiveness.

He will be sorely missed. Survived by his Wife and best friend: Sheila Bass. His Mother-in-law: Mary. Siblings: Susan and Billy. Children: Sam & Roslyn (daughter-in-law), Mary, Roberta and Andy (son-in-law) and Tony. Grandchildren: Alexandra, Morgan and Amanda (grand-daughter-in-law), Christana, Austin, Bobby, Aaliyah, Sam, Ruth, Mia, Raiden and great-grandson Morgan.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, April 12 ^th , at 1 PM in St. Rose of Lima Church, 77 Clay Street, Littleton with Father Mark Dollard officiating.
