ROCKLAND – Arthur Thomas Hayes Jr., 85, of Rockland Maine, passed away peacefully on June 8, 2021.

Tom was born Jan. 13, 1936, in Providence in Rhode Island to Eloise and Arthur Thomas Hayes Sr.

He was predeceased by his mother, Eloise and his father, Arthur Hayes Sr. and brother, Donald Hayes.

Tom retired in 2011 as controller of Maritime Energy of Rockland, Maine. Tom also worked at George C. Frye Medical company in Portland, Maine as treasurer, worked for Casco Bank in Portland as vice president, with Arthur Anderson Co. of Boston. He was also employed by Old Stone Bank of Providence, R.I. and had financial positions in New York and in Chicago.

Tom attended and graduated from Bryant College with a finance degree.

Tom loved to travel and his favorite destination was the Outer banks in North Carolina, where his wife, Dottie and him enjoyed vacationing there every year in May. He also loved sailing and watching the schooner races on the break water. He always looked forward to vacationing in Pine Point also, getting lobsters and enjoying the beach. His ability to cross country ski was incredible and usually left most of us behind. Tom was an avid reader you could always find him deep in a book.
