Ronald was a machinist at General Electric Aviation in Hooksett for 30 years and retired at the early age of 60. He was a dedicated family man and avid golfer. He spent the last two winters traveling to Sebring, Fla., from New Hampshire to escape the harsh winters of the north and continue his mantra of golfing and joy riding in his custom designed car. Ronald loved various New England Sports teams but cherished the Boston Red Sox. He was a man of truth and telling it like it was which made his friendships very unique and special. His humor stemmed from The Three Stooges and his love for old black and white series. His kind soul touched the hearts of many and his wisdom was unmatched. Ronald was called to heaven way before his time and will always be remembered for his work ethic and love for his family and friends.

Nadeau and spouse Shirley Nadeau of Sebring, Fla; Nieces Tracy Marston of Hooksett, and Melissa Mitten of Denver, Colo.; Nephew Matthew Luke, San Diego, Calif.; Sister and Brother in law Susan and Earle Luke of Salt Lake City, Utah.
