LACONIA --- Thomas James “Tommy” Rodrigue, 87, of Union Ave, passed away at Golden View Nursing Home in Meredith on Saturday, September 10, 2022 after fighting his battle with prostate cancer.

Tom was born on July 17, 1935, in Bingham, ME, the son of Joseph Helon and Mary (Patrick) Rodrigue. His passing has reunited him with his wife Betty Rodrigue, of Gilford, NH, sister Linda Whitten, and two brothers Bruce and Brian Rodrigue, all of Sanford, ME.

Tom worked for over 30 years in the auto parts industry in Laconia as manager for Robbins Auto Parts. He always had an interest in driving his Ford and Toyota automobiles, and later a passion for riding his Yamaha Venture Royal motorcycle to every covered bridge in NH.
