Christopher J. Dobrowolski, a 71‑year‑old Northfield resident and former pre‑veterinary student, died on Oct. 26 2026 after complications from heart surgery. He was surrounded by his family at the time of his passing.
Born the eldest of five children in Nashua, he excelled as a three‑sport athlete and captain of the football team before graduating from Nashua High School in 1973. He earned a pre‑veterinary degree from the University of New Hampshire in 1977 and later built a career in industrial manufacturing, working in sales, engineering and management for companies such as Oak Laminates, AlliedSignal, and EIS.
He settled in Northfield with his wife Nola, where they lived for more than 40 years and raised their children. An avid outdoorsman, he loved hunting, fishing, cooking, and spending time with his dogs, and took pride in his Polish heritage by preparing traditional Wigilia soup each year.
He is survived by his wife Nola, son Edward, daughter Courtney, sister Victoria, brother Michael, and uncle Frederick and wife Natalie Dobrowolski; his sister Cynthia and brother Steven predeceased him.
A celebration of life will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 5 at Highland Pub, 75 Ski Hill Drive. The Wilkinson‑Beane‑Simoneau‑Paquette Funeral Home is handling arrangements, and an online memorial is available at wilkinsonbeane.com.
