Joseph “Roger” Cloutier, 88, of Pembroke, NH, passed away peacefully on April 1st, 2023 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. He was born in West Warwick, RI to Edgar and Rose (Blanchette) Cloutier as the only son of six children.
Joe served 20 years in the United States Air Force traveling to the UK, Okinawa, Japan, the Philippines, and Vietnam.

In the late 1990’s he retired as the maintenance supervisor for Neslab in Newington. Joe was well-known for his involvement in the Dover Elks, Air Force Sergeant’s Association, and the New Hampshire Civil Air Patrol.

The two married and lived happily for another 20 years before his passing. He loved children and especially enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren. He was a devoted brother, father, grandfather, and husband. Joe will be deeply missed by all his family and friends.
