Richard E. Roberts

Richard Roberts Sr., a proud U.S. Marine Corps veteran and longtime resident of Amesbury, passed away on Thursday, April 23, 2026, at the age of 85. He was the devoted husband of the late Barbara Ann (Dunn) Roberts, with whom he shared 60 years of marriage until her passing in 2022.

Born March 28, 1941, and raised in Salem, Richard met his beloved Barbara in Peabody, and they married on July 22, 1962. Together they raised their three children in Amesbury after moving there in 1973. He is survived by his children, Richard “Skip” Jr., Donna, and Peter and their spouses; as well as three grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Richard served his country as a Marine, bringing the discipline and precision of his sharp shooter training into his family life in memorable ways. His children fondly recall him teaching them to shoot at a young age, patiently passing along the skills and safety he learned in the Corps. A skilled Ford mechanic by trade, he loved tackling projects around the home and once built his children a go-cart out of lawn mower parts, delighting them with his ingenuity and hands-on creativity.

In retirement, Richard found great joy in gardening and raising chickens alongside his wife Barbara. The two shared a passion for growing vegetables and beautiful flowers, tending their garden with care and often sharing the bounty with family, friends, and neighbors.

Richard was a hardworking, resourceful man who took pride in providing for his family and teaching his children practical skills. His quiet strength, love of family, and willingness to help others left a lasting impression on all who knew him.

The family will cherish the many memories of Richard’s Marine-honed precision, mechanical wizardry, and the peaceful hours spent gardening with Babsie. He is now at rest with his beloved wife, watching over those he loved.

The wake/visiting hours (no funeral service) will be held at Roger’s Funeral Home 2 Hillside Avenue, in Amesbury Friday, May 8th from 4-7pm. In lieu of flowers, donations in Richard’s memory may be made to a charity of the donor’s choice, such as one supporting veterans or local libraries, in keeping with the family’s values.

Born on June 6, 1930, she was the daughter of Bertram and Eva M. (Leterneau) Bailey and the sister of Bert and Mildred, all of whom predeceased her.

Barbara will be remembered most for the love and devotion she gave to her family. She was an extraordinary grandmother whose warmth, patience, and kindness left a lasting impression on all who knew her. She cherished time spent with her family—whether enjoying days at the beach, visiting arcades, or simply making pancakes—always bringing smiles, comfort, and a sense of togetherness.

As a mother, Barbara was a steady and deeply supportive presence. She put her family first and gave of herself generously, offering encouragement, understanding, and care. Her home was a place of comfort and ease, where her children could simply be themselves and feel safe and loved.

Barbara was also a talented seamstress, dedicating many years to her craft with Lebaron & Bonnie. In her retirement, she continued to share her gifts by creating quilts for infants and children in need, reflecting her quiet generosity and compassion. She was a gifted crafter who took great joy in sharing her creations with those she loved.

In her later years, Barbara’s life became more peaceful, yet the relationships she held close remained meaningful and heartfelt. She is remembered with love by those who were part of her life and who offered companionship and care.

Visiting hours will be held on Friday, May 1, 2026, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., with a small service at 5:30 p.m. at Paul C. Rogers Family Funeral Home, 2 Hillside Avenue, Amesbury, MA.

Paul C. Watson

Paul Courtney Watson, 93, passed away on April 16, 2026, at High Pointe Hospice House in Haverhill. He was born in the shadow of the Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown, Massachusetts, on March 17, 1933. He was the son of Paul Raymond and Dora Brabbing Watson.

He graduated from Newburyport High School in 1952 and University of New Hampshire in 1960, as a mechanical engineer.

He served in the Army Security Agency in Okinawa from 1955 – 1957.

Paul was an engineer with General Electric, retiring from the Aircraft Engine’s Repair Engineering group. He was the inveterate “fixer”. If something was broken or there was a problem with it, he would repair it rather than toss it. When computers came into being, he loved the technology and spent much time with them - even building his own computers several times. He owned several antique cars and very much enjoyed tinkering with them. He was a former member of the Volkswagen Club of America and the Volvo Club of America.

He grew up with Scottish Terriers and during his 55 years of marriage owned 16 Scotties, usually having multiple dogs at a time. The dogs were Kathy, Rufus, Angus, Penny, Skippy, Tobey, Seamus, Molly, Alex, Katie, Ziva, Taffy, Barney, Hunter, with Bella and Marley surviving him.

To accommodate the dogs, Judy and Paul became RV enthusiasts. They enjoyed multiple trips to Florida and Canada and went as far west as New Orleans and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

Paul also enjoyed cooking - he was the chief cook in the house.

He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Judith Hughes Watson; his sister Dora Nyborg; her daughters, Susan (Tom) Encke and Cathy Blomquist; his cousins children, Anthony D’Anna and Patricia D’Anna, as well as his in-laws, Carol Hughes Malloy, Paul (Eileen) Hughes, and Michael Hughes; Carol’s daughters, Maureen (Joe) Nava and Mary Ellen (Jonathon) Bell, her son Timothy (Susan) Malloy and their daughters Ava and Sophia. He was pre-deceased by his nephew Gary Nyborg, cousins William (Anne) Woodman, Jane (Dwight) MacDonald, and John (Marilyn) Bourque.

In lieu of flowers, contributions for the rescue efforts of the Scottish Terrier Club of New England would be appreciated at STCNE.org or 92 Parklawn Drive, Waterbury, CT 06708.

Visiting hours will be held on Sunday, April 26, 2026 from 2 to 5 P.M. at Paul C. .Rogers Family Funeral Home, 2 Hillside Avenue, Amesbury, MA 01913 and the Funeral Service will be held on Monday, April 27, 2026 at 10:30 A.M. at the funeral home.

Randy worked for 25 years as a Regional Sales Manager for BG Products, an automotive maintenance products and services company. He was known for his strong work ethic, dedication, and mentorship throughout his career.

Out of work, Randy found joy in life’s simple pleasures. He loved riding his motorcycle, spending time on his boat, having the top down in his jeep, and watching the sun set over Lake Attitash. A devout Christian, his faith was an important part of his life and guided the way he lived each day. He went out of his way to improve the lives of those around him.

Randy will be remembered as a man who appreciated the small things life had to offer.
