Robert (Bob) H. Morneau passed away on April 14th after losing a hard fought battle with cancer. Bob was born in Nashua, NH on June 4, 1942 to Emile Morneau and Ruth Hoisington Morneau. Bob lived in Derry, NH until his retirement when he moved to Wolfeboro, NH full-time. He graduated from Pinkerton Academy in 1961.
He was a member of Teamster Local #633 for more than 30 years prior to his retirement in 1997 as a Business Agent for the Local. Prior to working for the Teamsters, he was employed for several years at Associated Grocers.
Bob was also involved with several NH State Boards including the Unemployment Board and was instrumental in the establishment of the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board and continued to serve on that Board up to the time of his death, many years as Chairman, since the implementation in 1991.
Bob will be remembered for his ability to bring people together to solve problems whether it be negotiating as a Business Agent or working as President of condo associations, a position that he also held until his time of death at Kingswood Acres Condo in Wolfeboro or the Outrigger Condominium in Indialantic, FL where he spent a great deal of time during the past winters. He also served on the Board of the Wentworth Watershed Association in Wolfeboro.
