LEOMINSTER – Joseph R. A. Cormier, 86, passed away December 3, 2016. He was the beloved husband of the late Marie G. (DeCicco) Cormier.
Joe graduated from Worcester Trade High School and served in the U.S. Navy during the Korean Conflict on a destroyer outfit. He worked for many years as an electrician at the former Borden Chemical and then at Digital Equipment Corp as the Facilities Manager of the Westminster plant.
Joe retired early and moved with his wife, Marie, to West Yarmouth on Cape Cod where they spent many enjoyable years with family and friends. He recently moved back to Leominster.
Joe enjoyed helping others, a good laugh and was a Red Sox and Patriots fan. He loved everything electrical and mechanical and his job became his hobby and he became the guy that made it work. Most of all, Joe enjoyed being with his family, especially his grandchildren and great grandchildren.
He leaves three children, JoAnn Piedrafite and her husband, James, Paul Cormier and his wife, Karen and Janet Despres and her husband, Richard, seven grandchildren, Jospeh Piedrafite, Jessica (Piedrafite) Gale, Amanda (Despres) Hutchinson, Molly (Despres) Silva, Melanie Despres, Nathan Cormier and Brianna Cormier, three great grandchildren, Mason Hutchinson, Anthony Gale and Brody Silva and one due to arrive in January.
