Lee, NH: Ronald “Frenchy” Gaudreau, age 70, died peacefully on Friday, December 13, 2019 at home surrounded by his loving family. He was born on July 31, 1949 in Pawtucket, RI, the son of Paul and Lillian Gaudreau; and brother of the late Jacques Gaudreau. Frenchy brought a spirit of ‘joie de vivre’ to all who knew him. He loved the outdoors, walking in the woods, and kayaking. He truly enjoyed spending time with family and friends at Goosewing Beach. He ran his own landscaping business for over 40 years. He was an avid gardener who shared his passion with anyone who would listen. Most of all he loved spending time with his beloved grandchildren. Frenchy is survived by his loving wife of 50 years, Judy; daughter Jade, her husband Jeff, and their children Kai, Sadie, and Lila of Lee, NH; son Luke, his wife Nora, and their son Harris, of Arlington, MA; many wonderful friends; and his faithful dog, Jesse. We will always remember his big smile, infectious laughter, and gregarious nature.
