Maurice A. Caron

Maurice “Moe” Armand Caron, 85, of Goffstown, NH, passed away peacefully on November 10, 2026.

He was born on October 19, 1941, in Manchester, NH, to Wilfred and Yvonne (Simard) Caron.

Maurice owned and operated The Restaurant on Elm and Chez Vachon Restaurant in Manchester for many years, sharing his passion for food and cooking with the community.

 Outside of the restaurant, he enjoyed fishing and spending time at his summer camp in Pittsburg, NH. An avid chef, Maurice's greatest joy was cooking for his family. He was especially known for showing up on his children's doorsteps with large containers of homemade soups and stews, a simple but meaningful way of showing his love and making sure everyone was taken care of. Those unexpected deliveries will surely remain cherished memories for his family.

He is survived by his longtime companion, Carol Gonyer of Goffstown; his children, Theresa Caron, Michael Caron, and Cheryl Zarakotas and her husband, Stephen; his brother, Donald Caron; five grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.

He was predeceased by his parents, Wilfred and Yvonne Caron; his sister, Lucille Dube; and his brothers, Paul Caron and Leo Caron
