Robert Naser Obituary

It is always difficult saying goodbye to someone we love and cherish. Family and friends must say goodbye to their beloved Robert Naser (Bedford, New Hampshire), who passed away at the age of 91, on February 18, 2018. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

He is survived by: his parents, Sarah Naser (Saccoach) and Ernest Naser; and his sister Evelyn Sullivan.

He designed and manufactured the first 4" colonial-look clapboard aluminum siding that is now ubiquitous in the aluminum (vinyl) siding industry. In the late 1960s, Mr. Naser's home improvement business evolved and, under quite fortuitous circumstances, his career turned towards commercial real estate development, a career in which he remained active until his death.

During this time, Mr. Naser built dozens of properties for many national companies such as John Hancock, Firestone, Goodyear as well as developing several residential condominium projects in Florida. Mr. Naser was also a founding Director of the Lincoln Trust Company of Hingham, Massachusetts in 1965 until the company's sale in 1987.

Later in his life, Mr. Naser was an active philanthropist, supporting many organizations dedicated to the relief of human suffering around the world. In the process, Mr. Naser was privileged to have been befriended by such great humanitarians as President Jimmy Carter and the Rev. Desmond Tutu. Mr. Naser's passion for giving also focused on remembering the great sacrifices of our military personnel, most notably through his position as Vice Chair of the United States Navy Memorial Foundation and his involvement with the Disabled American Veterans.

Mr. Naser was an active member in the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts (Est. AD1638), the Quincy Elks Lodge 943, Milton American Legion Post 114 among other social and charitable organizations. While Mr. Naser's professional and philanthropic activities are quite notable, by his own account his greatest legacy is the vast and loving network of family and friends he leaves behind, all of whom he dearly loved and who dearly loved him.

Mr. Naser is predeceased by his wife of over fifty years Theresa "Terry" (Gillis), sisters Shirley Clayton and Sally George. He is survived by his Brother Edwin "Ted" Naser, children Elizabeth A. Naser of Bedford New Hampshire, Carole-Terese Naser of Troy, Virginia, Anne C. Naser (husband Edward Lainsbury) of Mobile, Alabama, Robert D. Naser (wife Camille) of Dedham, Massachusetts and William G. Naser (wife Barbara) of Natick Massachusetts, grandchildren Colburn Daniels, Alexander Daniels, Timothy Naser, Matthew Naser, Molly Naser, Oliver Naser, Evan Naser, Sally Naser and great granddaughter Lucy Daniels and many nieces and nephews.

He also leaves his companion Ann Rosenberg of Goffstown, New Hampshire. Visitations will be held on Thursday, February 22, 2018 4pm - 8pm at the French and Rising Funeral Home, 17 South Mast Street, Goffstown, New Hampshire and on Friday, February 23, 2018 4pm - 8pm at the Keohane Funeral Home, 785 Hancock Street, Quincy, Massachusetts.

Funeral services will be private. A remembrance and celebration of Mr. Naser's life will be held at a time and place yet to be determined. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the "Sally Naser Charitable Foundation, Inc.", PO Box 1270, Dedham, MA 02027, in support of pediatric cancer research.
