Warren M. Pomroy Jr.

North Hampton – Warren M. Pomroy Jr., 87, of North Hampton, died peacefully Wednesday, April 8, 2015 at the Edgewood Centre in Portsmouth. He was surrounded by his loving family members as well as his doting caregivers, his second family. Warren was born in Rocky Hill, Connecticut on July 8, 1927, the son of the late Merle W. Pomroy and Lorna Mutch Pomroy, and brother of the late Richard Pomroy. He was raised in Rocky Hill and had lived there until he met the love of his life, Jean Lillie Pomroy. They married and raised a family bringing them to North Hampton where he worked as a sales representative for the Exxon Corporation. Warren was a hard-working man and was fortunate to have a great career that allowed him to retire in 1986 and enjoy a full life. Warren is best remembered for his active role in the bowling community. While his children were young, he taught and coached the local youth of the seacoast at the Lafayette Lanes in North Hampton. He ran the Thursday night Men’s Tri-Town League for over 40+ years only to pass the baton as the cancer took hold. Warren umpired for 22 years in the Seacoast Little League and also served as Head Umpire and Commissioner at times. He joined the Portsmouth Country Club in 1975 and had many hours of enjoyment both on the course and in the card room after his retirement. He often stated “he was no golfer” but he did manage to score a hole in one on the 16th green. Warren and Jean spent many years square and round dancing with the Down East Western Square Dance Club in Kittery, Maine. They danced in the weekly clubs from Portland, Maine to Wakefield, Massachusetts as well as on the weekends throughout New England. His family was his life. His most enjoyable and rewarding times were the many hours spent watching his grandchildren grow and mature as they participated in many plays, concerts, bowling events, volleyball and softball games. Warren and Jean always considered themselves blessed as they had a full life as their family was so close. Growing old with his family present was precious to him. Warren is survived by his loving wife of 57 years, Jean Lillie Pomroy, his daughter Ellen Pomroy Dozet and husband John and his daughter Karen Pomroy Dorow and her husband Don. He also leaves behind four lovely granddaughters; Amanda Michele Dozet, Cassandra Jean Dozet, Jonna Sue Dozet and Kortney Lee Dorow. He will be severely missed by all. A celebration of life service will be held at 1:00 pm, Saturday, May 9, 2015 at the United Church of Christ in North Hampton, NH 03862. Reverend Michele Bagby Allan will be officiating. Family and friends are respectfully invited. Burial will be private. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to the Salvation Army, 15 Middle Street, Portsmouth, NH, 03801; Warren’s favorite charity throughout the years. Arrangements are by the Remick and Gendron Funeral Home - Crematory, 811 Lafayette Rd., Hampton. . A special thank you is to be given to the Edgewood Centre of Portsmouth, NH for their loving care and support. Dear Dad, you will be missed every day and loved forever!
