Ronald Allard of Londonderry Dies at 77

Ronald A. Allard, a longtime resident of Londonderry, New Hampshire, passed away on November 8, 2026.

He was 77 years old and was surrounded by his family at the time of his passing, according to reports from Douglas & Johnson Funeral Home.

For those who knew him, his life was defined by a consistent, quiet commitment to service. Before transitioning to his civilian career, Allard served as a medic in the United States Army.

This foundational experience in military healthcare informed his later years, as he spent a significant portion of his working life as a Licensed Nursing Assistant at Warde Senior Living in Windham, New Hampshire. It was a role that required both technical skill and a steady, empathetic temperament, qualities that those close to him say defined his character.

A Legacy of Personal Connection

Beyond his professional duties, Allard was known for a particular, individualized approach to the people in his life. Family members have noted that he possessed a rare ability to make those around him feel uniquely valued.

His daughter and extended family remember him as someone who shared a distinct, personalized love with everyone in his circle. His wife, Diane Allard, was his constant partner and, as described in the official obituary from Douglas & Johnson Funeral Home, his “absolute best friend.”

His interests were rooted in the simpler rhythms of life in New England. He was a frequent visitor to Lake Winnipesaukee, where he spent much of his time fishing. His life was also marked by a fondness for road trips and a consistent presence of animals in his home.

These personal joys, however, remained secondary to his primary interest: the time spent with his family, including his two daughters, Michelle and Lori, and his seven grandchildren: Kayla, Westley Ronald, Celeste, Felicia, James, Zavier, and DJ.

Services and Commemoration

The family has organized a time for community members and friends to pay their respects later this month. According to the service details provided by Douglas & Johnson Funeral Home and corroborated by Echovita, visitation is scheduled for Monday, November 16, 2026.

The funeral home, located at 214 Main Street in Salem, New Hampshire, will host calling hours in two sessions: from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM and again from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM. A memorial service will follow immediately at 6:00 PM.

Allard is survived by a wide circle of family, including his siblings Donna Carroll, Francis Fields, Debbie Murphy, and Mario Riccio, as well as his brothers-in-law Michael, Bruce, Dennis, and Billy Cyr. He was predeceased by his brother, Mike Riccio, and his brothers-in-law Ralph Denoncourt, Teddy Cyr, and Ricky Cyr.

While the formal services provide a space for grieving, the lasting impact of his decades as a medic and nursing assistant remains the quiet, often unseen, backbone of his community contributions in Londonderry and Windham.
