R. Stanley “Stan” Meisser, 92, of Londonderry, NH, died Saturday December 14, 2024, at his home surrounded by his loving family. Stan was the son of Stanley and Katherine (Siek) Meisser, born in Lawrence, MA on October 29, 1932 and had been a resident of Londonderry for the past 12 years, formerly living in Gilford, NH.
Stan was only three years of age when the family moved to Lowell where he attended the local schools and Keith Academy. He attended Merrimack College for two years before entering the Army. While in the service, he finished radio school and communication school. He was then shipped to Korea, working in communications and eventually becoming communication chief at the 366th EAB in Tague, Korea.
Upon being released from the service, Stan went back to Merrimack to finish up his studies. Also upon being released from the service, he rekindled ties with Frances, who would become his loving wife in 1958. Stan felt very blessed that their marriage lasted 63 years before her passing.
Stan worked in the family business his entire life. He worked various jobs, but the one he enjoyed most was driving tractor trailer for the Essem Packing Co., of which he was owner and president. He also enjoyed boating on “the big lake,” Lake Winnipesaukee for over 60 years. Stan and his wife Frances were active members of the Nevins Community in Londonderry.
Stan also enjoyed playing both his piano and organ for anyone who wanted to listen. He found it relaxing and very enjoyable.
He is survived by his three sons, Robert Meisser and wife Mary Beth of Salisbury, MA, Brian Meisser and wife Veronica of Weare, NH, and Richard Meisser of Junction City, OR; one daughter, Karen Meunier and husband Alan of Bristol, NH; nine grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, as well as many nieces. He is predeceased by his wife, Frances, who died in August 2021; sister, Alicia McMurtrie, and brother, Rudolf “Jack” Meisser.
Following cremation, a Memorial Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Saturday December 21, 2024 at 10:00am in St. Jude Parish, 435 Mammoth Road, Londonderry. Private burial with his wife will be in Saint Mary Cemetery, Tewksbury, MA. Memorial contributions may be made to a charity of ones choice .
