West Newbury - Frederick M. Faulkner Jr., of West Newbury, died on Sunday, August 25, 2019, due to complications from surgery after a short but hard-fought battle with cancer.

Born in Haverhill in 1935 to Frederick M. Faulkner Sr. and Arlene (Maynard). Fred was educated in Haverhill, class of 1953, and earned a B.S. in Accounting from Northeastern University. He served in the Army as a Military Policeman and then worked for 42 years at Western Electric/Lucent Technologies as a Business Analyst. He served on the Board of Assessors for the Town of West Newbury, volunteered for the town Little League, the Boy Scouts and was a member of the Saggahew Lodge Masonic Order.

Following retirement, Fred worked part-time for the Town of West Newbury in a variety of roles always happy to offer a wave of hello or a friendly, "how you doing?" greeting to friends and newcomers. He enjoyed many other endeavors in retirement including traveling to visit family, working out and socializing at the gym, dining out, attending sporting events and activities of his grandchildren, and the occasional (OK, more than occasional) trips to Foxwoods. Most of all, he enjoyed his 59 years of marriage to Jacquelyn (Lariviere) and the many social interactions they had with friends and family.

He is survived by his wife of 59 years Jacquelyn (Lariviere); children and their spouses Frederick III (Lisa) of Westminster, Colo., Keith (Ellen) of Beverly, Mass., Andrea Brown (Dave) of Golden, Colo., John (Melanie) of Stratham, N.H., and Todd (Maureen) of Burlington, N.J.; 10 grandchildren and one great-grandchild. He adored all of his grandkids, who affectionately referred to him as "Bumpa." He is also survived by his brother Bob (Dianne); his sister-in-law Katherine; and his step-mother Julia Faulkner. Fred was predeceased by his parents Fred and Arlene; and his brother Howard.
