Andre Joseph Rodrigue, 87, died peacefully on Saturday, November 30, 2024. He was the beloved husband of the late Gisele (Pomerleau) Rodrigue with whom he shared over 60 years of marriage.
Andre was born in St. Ephrem, Quebec, Canada on September 12, 1937, and was the son of the late Lucien and Marie-Blanch (Poulin) Rodrigue.
He had a long career in the drywall industry, contributing significantly during Boston’s construction boom, until his retirement.
In his free time, Andre loved fishing of all varieties, whether it be ice, deep sea, or in a nearby brook. He traveled frequently with his late wife. In their travels, they enjoyed going to casinos and playing bingo. He also enjoyed trips to the Nashua Senior Center where he made many friends. You could often find him at one of their daily meetings at the local Dunkin Donuts or McDonalds. He was an avid sports fan, cheering on the NY Jets, the Giants, or the Yankees. He also enjoyed watching hockey and wrestling. But above all else, Andre cherished his time with his family.
Andre is survived by his daughter, Lynn Rodrigue and her fiancé Robert Peck of Loudon, NH; his sister, Anne Pepin and her husband Claude of Canada; his nephews, Martin Pepin and Mario Pepin as well as in laws and extended family.
