George H. Biltcliffe, 84, of Portsmouth, passed away on Tuesday, December 31, 2019.  George’s work history was lengthy. We will start with Durfee Trust Co., Columbus National and Columbus Credit Union, all as Vice President of Operations.  Then he worked as an ATM service supervisor for Loomis Fargo and spent his semi-retired years working at Auclair Funeral Home.

He was a graduate of St. Mary’s Grammar School, Coyle High School and attended Williams College and the University of Wisconsin. George enjoyed being on the water and was a member of the Fall River Power Squadron and the Coast Guard Auxiliary.  He loved to go camping, vacationing in Florida and enjoyed cruising, including traversing the Panama Canal.

He is survived by his loving companion and caregiver, Joan M. (Helger) Rocha, and his former wife, Dorothy (Kerrigan) Biltcliffe; two sons, David A. Biltcliffe and his wife Mary L. Biltcliffe and G. Stephen Biltcliffe; grandchildren, Joshua (wife Kate) Matthew (wife Pam), Mark (wife Sarah), Samantha and Sarah; two brothers, Kenneth Biltcliffe (wife Becky) and Michael Biltcliffe (wife Jeanne); great-grandchildren, Ava, Finn, Kianna, Ellie, Willa, Daniel and Tom; his companion's sons, Kevin Rocha and Stephen Rocha (wife Corrine); step-grandchildren, Caitlyn and Michelle; and step-great-grandchildren, Kaiden, Rowan and Kylie. He was the son of the late  George and B. Diane (Duchesne) Biltcliffe.

His funeral service was conducted by  Rev. Paul Canuel on Sunday, January 5, 2020, at Auclair Funeral Home, Fall River. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Citizens For Citizens, 264 Griffin St. Fall River, MA 02724.
