Martin Joseph Kashulines

Martin Joseph Kashulines, 95, passed away peacefully on April 11, 2025, while residing at Mt. Carmel Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Manchester, NH. A beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, Martin led a remarkable life defined by hard work, love, and service. Born on April 24, 1929, in Nashua, NH, Martin was the proud descendant of Lithuanian immigrants who came to America at the turn of the century. He graduated from high school in Nashua, where he met the love of his life, Doris, his high school sweetheart. They married in 1952 and began their journey together – a partnership that would last over six decades. After serving two years in the U.S. Navy, Martin pursued higher education at several universities, including Bentley University. As a natural entrepreneur, Martin fulfilled his dream of owning a business when he purchased and operated the Cracker Barrel grocery store in Hopkinton, NH. Through tireless effort and determination, he transformed the store into a community staple and a thriving business. As a member of Associated Grocers, Martin had the privilege of traveling internationally, broadening his horizons and creating cherished memories. Following the sale of the business to his son, David, Martin transitioned into retirement, but his active spirit never wavered. He devoted his time to volunteering with the Lyons Club and served as president of the New Hampshire Food Industry Credit Union. Martin embraced the outdoors, relishing hunting and fishing, as well as cherished weekends at his family cottage on Lake Winnipesaukee. Martin was predeceased by his wife Doris in 2014. He is survived by his son, David Kashulines; grandchildren, Donald, Daniel, and Deanna Kashulines; and great-granddaughter Charlotte Kashulines. His legacy of kindness, perseverance, and dedication will forever inspire his family and friends. Visitation will be held at Bennett Funeral Home, 209 N Main Street, Concord, NH, on Monday, April 21, 2025, from 4:00-7:00 PM. The funeral procession will be leaving from the funeral home on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, at 10:00 AM to the Holy Cross Lithuanian Cemetery, Ledge Road, Hudson, NH, where a graveside service will be held at 11:00 AM.
