Alton, NH

Eugene Waldo Elliott, age 90, of Alton, passed away on October 14, 2018, at Wolfeboro Bay, surrounded by his loving family and friends.

Born January 8, 1928 in Wolfeboro, the son of Walter Elliott and Ella (Gilman) Elliott, he resided in Alton all his life.

Eugene was a retired Fish Culturist, having worked for the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department at the Powder Mill Fish Hatchery in New Durham for 33 years.

When he was not working, he enjoyed gardening, nature, 4 ^th of July celebrations, making maple syrup, building and inventing things, mind puzzles that would leave everyone guessing, telling stories and going on adventures, like his last one, a trip up in a helicopter at age 90.

Gene was an avid hunter and fisherman.

Survived by his wife of 46 years: Patricia A. (Tarbox) Elliott of Alton, 8 children: Lorrie Moore and husband Larry of Strafford, Peter Elliott and wife Michelle of Middleton, Roger Elliott and wife Sheila of Alton, Eric Elliott and wife Annette of Barnstead, Chad Elliott and wife Ruth of Barnstead, Hope Elliott and Jeffery Eldridge of Wolfeboro, Fred Elliott and wife Jennifer of VA, Melissa Ingham and husband Matthew of Alton, also 22 grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren, who were the apples of his eye.

He was a man who would do anything for anyone, at the drop of a hat. Whether it was a story or gesture, he was someone who will be hard to forget.

Eugene would never want people to feel sad about his passing. His last wish was to have a "party", as he called it. So, a Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, October 20, 2018 at the Alton American Legion Post #72, from 5-8 pm. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in his memory to: Alton Fireman's Association, PO Box 472, Alton, NH 03809. Cremation care by Peaslee Alton Funeral Home.
