Raised in Topsham Heights, he married the former Madeleine Bouchard and raised three daughters. After Madeleine’s death he moved to the Highlands. He is survived by two daughters, three grandchildren and numerous relatives.
Always eager to be the first to read new books, he befriended many librarians, giving his children a love of reading. He was an avid and knowledgeable conversationalist who loved lively debate.
He enjoyed the french club, senior college classes, and social activities, especially those involving donuts or cookies. His outgoing friendly nature will be missed.
