Kennedy Ralph Shibles Jr.

Kennedy Ralph Shibles Jr, 88 of Tilton, NH passed away peacefully at his home with family by his side on March 14, 2026.

Kennedy was born in Franklin, NH, 8 weeks early on June 24, 1937, and weighed 3.5 pounds. He came out a fighter and remained a strong person for the rest of his life. He lived through many incidents that would have killed most people, but he survived them all.

Kennedy was raised primarily in Franklin and Boscawen NH. He was predeceased by his wife of 65 years, Margaret (LaPlante) Shibles, his parents, Kennedy R Shibles Sr and Laura (Leboeuf) Shibles, his younger brother Craig Shibles, and his great granddaughter Riley Evangelo.

Kennedy attended schools in Penacook, NH and graduated from Penacook High School in 1957.Ken and his high school sweetheart, Margaret were also married in 1957. Together they embarked on a life of love, adventure, hard work, faith and commitment. They cleared some land in Canterbury, NH and started building their dream house by hand, not realizing that the dream would never end. They spent many years tinkering and puttering, always trying to improve their beloved homestead. Their home was always the gathering place to many family and friends. Eventually they had to downsize and lived in Tilton NH for the remainder of their years.

Ken worked at various jobs, sometimes 2-3 jobs at a time to support his family. His employment for close to 40 years was as a mental health worker at the NH State Hospital. Ken will be most remembered for his generosity, lending a helping a hand to anyone, his gift of gab (he could talk for hours!!), his ingenuity for creating inventions to make life easier or better, and last but not least his love of Heinz ketchup

David A. Court

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of David A. Court, age 78, a beloved husband, father, and dedicated craftsman, who left this world on March 9, 2026. Born on September 17, 1947, in Beverly, Massachusetts, David's journey began in a small town, where his passion for blacksmithing ignited at the tender age of 20 while working at his parents' home in Maine. From that moment on, forging metal became not just his occupation, but his life's calling.

David was a self-employed blacksmith, a true artisan whose dedication to his craft resonated through each piece he created. His work was a labor of love, reflecting his deep appreciation for the traditions of forging-a testament to his unwavering commitment and skill. Throughout the years, his master's touch turned raw materials into stunning creations that embodied strength and beauty, just like the man himself.

He is survived by his loving wife of nearly 54 years, Nancy Court, and his cherished daughter, Jessica Court.

David was preceded in death by his parents: Philip and Barbara (Dunn) Court.
