WASHINGTON, N.H. – Eugene “Gene” Hilston Nason, 79, who was born in Bangor, died Oct. 5, 2010, surrounded by his loving family. Gene moved to Connecticut in 1953, where he lived until his retirement in 1994, when he and Ada moved to the house they built in Washington, N.H. He was a veteran of the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War. He enjoyed traveling to many locations across the U.S. and to Florida to escape the cold northern winters in his retirement.

He leaves behind his wife, Ada (Clement), who he shared 57 years of happiness; his daughter, Beryl Maseng and her husband, Erik, of Nashua, N.H.; his daughter, Terry Hosig and her husband, Brian, of South Windsor, Conn.; four grandchildren who were the light of his life, Marie Maseng of Brighton, Mass., Karl Maseng of Nashua, N.H., and Gavin and Samuel Hosig of South Windsor, Conn. He also leaves behind a brother, Charles Nason; and sister, Carolyn Everett of Bangor. There are also many nieces and nephews in whose life he shared much joy. He was predeceased by his brothers, Thomas and Richard Nason. His family thanks the wonderful caregivers that he had during his short stay at Veterans Affairs Medical Center, White River Junction, Vt. A service celebrating his life will take place 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 9, at Washington Congregational Church, Washington, N.H. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital or the charity of one’s choice.
