Victor Hugo Chaltain died October 29 of a heart attack while clearing the Hanover High School field of rain water before his son’s final football game of the season. More information can be found in a Valley News article www.vnews.com/10302006/3422782.htm. The following information is taken from that article.
Always an enthusiastic football supporter at Dartmouth and Hanover High School, Vic arrived at about 7:00 a.m. Sunday to clear four or five inches of standing water from the field to prepare for a 1:30 kick-off. He was stricken at about 9:00 and, despite CPR and emergency medical efforts, he was pronounced dead at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. His wife, Aileen, who was also volunteering at the field, later said, “He exited the way he lived his life, and that was full bore. Both he and his father both said that if they could die on a football field, they’d be happy.”
He is survived by his wife, their children, Grady Chaltain, 16, and Victoria (Tori) Chaltain, 15, a junior and sophomore, respectively, at Hanover High and two older children from a previous marriage: Sam, 36, and Kate, 28.
