He was born Jan. 9, 1934, in Haverhill, Mass., the son of the late Lucien
L. and H. Marion (Dacey) Vadeboncoeur and was raised in Haverhill.
He was a 1951 graduate of Haverhill High School and received his bachelor's
degree in accounting from New Hampshire College.
He was a U.S. Air Force veteran and a member of the Air Force Reserves
serving as a pilot from 1953 through his retirement as a major in 1976. He
proudly served in the Vietnam War. In 1965, he was awarded The Air Medal from
the United States Air Force for his meritorious achievement and devotion to his
