Frederick

1936 – 2013

 Putnam – Frederick J. Daigle, 76, of Putnam, died Tuesday, August 6, 2013, in Day Kimball Hospital.  Born in Putnam, he was the son of the late Joseph and Gertrude (Hoffman) Daigle.

Mr. Daigle worked as a mill hand at Hale Manufacturing.

Mr. Daigle enjoyed talking with his friends on his CB radio with his handle being “Snowman”. He also was able to repair CB radios on his own. But, he was most passionate about the love that he showed to his pet dogs.

Frederick is survived by a brother Roger Daigle and his wife Johanna of Pomfret and Punta Gorda, FL, and a sister Rosalie Andrews of Seminole, FL; and several nieces and nephews.

Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend a graveside service on Tuesday, August 13, 2013, at 10:00 a.m. in West Thompson Cemetery, Riverside Rd., Thompson. Arrangements have been entrusted to the Gilman and Valade Funeral Homes. For memorial guestbook visit www.GilmanAndValade.com.

    “Snowman”s voice on my CB as I drove home nights from my sales
    calls was always a welcome sound. I had talked to him from New
    Bedford, New London and other locations as he had a great location
    in Putnam. I also miss all the other “Tri-State Wheeler-Dealers”,
    many of whom have also passed.
