BEDFORD: Maj. Robert D. Currier (USAF, Retired), 72, died Nov. 3, 2011, at home. Mr. Currier was born Oct. 13, 1939, in Manchester to the late Robert F. and Irma (Schmerder) Currier.
He was a graduate of Manchester Central High School, Class of 1957, and received his bachelor's degree from Saint Anselm College. He joined the U.S. Air Force in June 1962.

He traveled extensively while in the military and later as a communications specialist until his retirement from Mitre in 2001.
Mr. Currier was an avid fisherman, taking annual trips to Pittsburg [New Hampshire] with his dad and brother, along with being seen in his foldable boat on the Hampton River. He was known for his fly-tying prowess, with which he was able to stock a small bait shop.
He was an inspiration to all, displaying courage and tenacity in the wake of many medical challenges, all the while maintaining his sense of humor and quick wit.
