Charles R. Radzik

Hampton – Charles Robert, (fondly known as “Bob" or “Raz”) Radzik, 83, a Hampton resident for more than 60 years, passed away peacefully on Thursday, July 9, 2026. Bob was born in Dorchester, MA on December 10, 1942, a son of the late Charles Robert and Helen Alice (Szymeczko) Radzik. Bob was raised in Framingham, MA and graduated from Framingham North High School. Starting in his late teens and into his early twenties, he worked at Hampton Harbor for his late uncle and aunt, Alfred and Alice Gauron. In addition, Bob worked with his cousins, Alfred “Ricky” Gauron, the late Gregory A. “Rocky” Gauron, Edmund “Ronnie” Gauron, and Mark “Randy” Gauron. Always a lover of the ocean, Raz worked his entire career on the water as a captain for fishing and party boats throughout the New Hampshire Seacoast. During the offseason, beginning in the 1980s, he worked for DL Raymond Construction, where he became a valued and respected member of the team for many years. More than just a workplace, DL Raymond was a second family to him. He shared a special bond with the late owner, Denis Raymond, and together they helped build a close-knit crew that looked out for one another. Bob took great pride in the people around him, believing that character mattered just as much as skill, and he was always protective of those he cared about, including the children of employees who would often visit the office. The friendships and memories made there remained among the most meaningful of his life. However, his kindness did not stop with the human race. He also loved dogs and was not without treats in his pocket for any chance encounter. Most of all, he loved and cherished his grandchildren, Zac, Max and Abby, and was always happiest when sharing time with them. Surviving family members include his daughter Tracy Lukegord-Hayes and her husband Joe Hayes of Hampton; sister, Jeanette Martin of Closter, NJ; nephews Alan Martin Jr., Billy Martin, Paul Radzik, and his niece Robin (Radzik) Kaufman; grandchildren, Zac and Max Lukegord of Chicago, IL and Abby Hayes of Hampton, NH. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his brother, William Charles Radzik and his nephew Kenneth Martin. Family and friends may visit from 5-7 pm on Thursday, July 16, 2026, at the Remick & Gendron Funeral Home-Crematory, 811 Lafayette Road, Hampton, NH. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Landmark School, Office of Institutional Advancement, P.O. Box 227, Prides Crossing, MA 01965 or online by clicking here. A celebration of life will be held at a later date with date and time being announced here.
