LACONIA — Douglas Spencer Wentworth, 73, of Darby Drive, passed away on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, at Belknap County Nursing Home in Laconia, NH.
Douglas was born on June 24, 1952, in Cleveland, OH, the son of the late Crawford Wentworth and Doris (Heller) Wentworth.

Douglas worked as a mechanic at Manter’s, Woodward’s, and Fitzgerald Dodge before retiring into his second career as a cab driver for Mr. C’s Taxi.
