Omer Ouellette, Jr. ... former Rochester City Councilor

ROCHESTER - "Worst Trade Deal Ever!" These must be the first words that he said to whomever met him after his passing. Omer J. Ouellette, Jr., born February 17, 1945, passed during negotiations on his current life contract Saturday, October 5, 2019.
Born in Quincy, Mass., Omer made Rochester his lifelong home where he and his much-loved and patient wife of 55 years, Sally, settled and enjoyed their five children (Gina, Andrea, O.J. III, J. Scott, and Edward), three grandchildren (Kyla, Amaryssa, and Amber), two great-grandchildren (Marion and Robin). Omer is also remembered by brothers Brad, Larry, and Gary, sister Gail and all who knew and loved him.
Giving over 21 years of service to the Army and another 20 years to the State of N.H., he had a great desire to serve and make things better for others. He served two terms on the Rochester City Council (1994-1998) and ran for Mayor in (2015). He never got to wear that hat, but found other ways to serve and be selfless with his family and neighbors, always giving where he could with small things like the bulbs on the town Christmas Tree and large things like "never ending" presents for his grandchildren and great-grandchildren at Christmas and birthdays. Always the best shopper, looking and finding deals to make others happy.
