Webster, New Hampshire – Henry Bergeron, 73, passed away peacefully on August 9, 2022 after a brief illness. He was born in Nashua, New Hampshire, on July 2, 1949 to Henry and Annette (Letourneau) Bergeron. He is survived by his wife, Paula, his daughter, Katherine Bergeron, granddaughters Louisa Bergeron and RoseMarie Newell, grandson, Michael Davis, his sister, Sr. Mary Clare, and many nephews and nieces.

Henry attended Our Lady of Lourdes minor seminary in Cassadaga, New York. He attended Assumption Preparatory School and got his Bachelor’s Degree and went on to Boston University earning his Master’s Degree in Theology.
During the summers while home from school, Henry worked at Woodman’s Florist in Milford, New Hampshire. He loved working with plants and flowers and that’s where he got his green thumb and his interest in gardening went on from there. As a child, Henry was always intrigued with numbers and counting. He ended up working as an accountant and eventually became a CPA. Henry worked for the State of New Hampshire Department of Safety as head of Field Auditing and later transferred to the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission as a Utility Rate Analyst. Henry also served for the Town of Webster as Supervisor of the Checklist. Henry retired from State service in 2009 after 30 years of service.
Henry grew up in a family that loved to play cards. He played Bridge and Bid Whist as a child. He learned to play cribbage which really became his love. He joined the American Cribbage Congress (ACC) league and started going to tournaments. After playing in the first two tournaments, he decided he wanted to start running tournaments, which he and Paula successfully did for 20 years. Henry was proud to serve on the ACC Board of Directors.
An avid sports fan growing up in New England, he loved his Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots and Boston Celtics. While at Assumption he became very interested in their basketball team.
Henry was a very loving and giving man. He was always there to offer help to anyone who needed anything. He loved his family, loved being a father, grandfather, uncle, godfather, husband, and loved his three cats. In addition, he was proud to have been a blood donor for most of his life.
