"Larry, herrrre!"
The greeting, with its slightly exaggerated Maine accent, is unmistakable and sends an instant smile to its intended recipient. The next 10 minutes to an hour or more are filled with detailed adventures about the life of their storyteller, Lawrence "Larry" Williams. Cancer took him away from us on March 1, 2023, in Oviedo, Florida. This remarkable 88-year-old man with the sharp wit will live on, however, in the stories he has told.
Larry was born in Lempster, New Hampshire, on April 2, 1934, to Hubert "Hubie" Williams (b.1905 - d.1995) and Margaret Olds (b.1912 - d.1934). He was raised by his Uncle Ellis and Aunt Beatrice "Bunny" Davis in the small northern Maine town of Mattawamkeag. He grew up during the depression, and his father sent him everything he needed each year: one shirt, one pair of pants, and one pair of shoes. After setting a few baseball records in high school, Larry graduated and turned his blue eyes to the seas.

Lee - Lester O. Delano, 102, went home to be with his Savior and Lord Jesus Christ on Sept. 26, 2022, with family holding his hands. He was born in Lee, Maine on January 18, 1920, the son of Fred and Fern Delano of Lee, Maine.
He was the middle child with four siblings. He graduated from Lee Academy in 1939 and left college and enlisted in the U.S. Army-Air Corps on December 31, 1941. Lester served with the 12th Bomb Group, 82nd Squadron as a radio operator and waist gunner aboard a B-25 Mitchell. He flew 55 combat missions over North Africa and was awarded a number of honors including the Air Medal and a Presidential Citation.
Upon his discharge on September 15, 1945, he returned to his beloved hometown of Lee marrying Shirley Webster on June 6, 1945. They were parents of four children - Marie Kurtz of Pennsylvania, Darryl Delano of Waterboro, Sheila Leighton of Lincoln, and Fred Delano of Troy. He worked as a potato farmer but ultimately worked as a carpenter for the greater part of his life. He and his coworker, Wayne Bartlett, built or renovated many buildings in the Lee area including building the town post office as well as renovating Mallett Hall and the Lee Museum. He worked well into his eighties marking furniture and cutting boards. He was a selectman of Lee for a number of years serving also as first selectman. He lost the love of his life, Shirley Delano, on May 3, 2017, after nearly 72 years of marriage but kept himself busy visiting folks. He was known around the Lee area for his generous giving of Hershey Kisses, Reese's peanut butter cups, and bags of oranges. Serving others was very dear to his heart as he enjoyed his church family at Lee Baptist Church practicing his faith in and outside those beloved walls, part of which he built. Often, he said "Love God, love your family, love your country."
Lester left behind his four children and their spouses, 12 grandchildren, and 23 great-grandchildren. He was dearly loved and will be missed, so his family is celebrating his life on Oct. 8, 2022, at Lee Baptist Church at 3 p.m. All are welcomed to join us. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Lee Baptist Church and/or The House in the Woods. Messages of condolence may be expressed at Lester's Book of Memories at lamsonfh.com.

Alexander Nicholas Beichek was a loving, caring Son, Husband, Father to 3 daughters, Grandfather, and Friend to so many. Born in New Jersey, the son of Russian Immigrants; Alex was compassionate and he lived his life with passion, humor and integrity. He loved his country and it seemed fitting that his life would end on July 4th. At that time in 2000, my 9 year old daughter responded, “we’ll always remember Pop Pop with fireworks”. He believed in freedom and choices for every individual.
Alexander served in the Army Air Force as 2nd Navigator & Bombardier on a B29 Circle X tail code, in the 99th Bombardment Squadron flying many missions over the Tinian Islands. He, along with each crew member, was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, in honor of their successful mission of flying over a Japanese Prison camp and dropping supplies and food, (along with personal messages they attached) to the POW’s held there.
The messages said that they weren’t forgotten, the war is ending and please let us know when you’re home safely. Eight months later he would receive a letter of thank you from that day; and it would bring tears to his eyes whenever he read it to us, which was at least once a year.

We all know the song that goes, “I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free.” These words speak for the man our family knew and loved—his name, Andrew B. Mosher. We just knew him as Andy. And when Andy sang these words, he would sing them loud.
Andy left us on September 7th, 2021, following a brief illness, with his family holding his hand and helping him along his final journey to where he would find his brother Rossiter Mosher, his grandparents Helen and Charles Mosher, and grandfather Bernard Lowry, waiting for him.
Now, when we speak of Andy, we speak of the man who loved being an American, loved being a Mainer, and to narrow it down even further—loved being from “The Center”—Fairfield Center, to be exact. But Andy would say, I’m from “the centah.” Here Andy built his own home, with his own hands, from wood on his own property. He loved his home, and he shared his home with his life-partner and best friend, Shirley Stanley, and her family—which became “their family.”
Andy was born on March 9th, 1966, in Waterville, Maine. His younger years were spent playing with his siblings on the “Old Hoxie Homestead” in North Fairfield and playing hide-and-go-seek behind the trees in the apple orchard, going rabbit hunting with dad, fishing at Grammy and Grampy’s camp, and being Grampy Bernard’s little shadow.

Dick is survived by his wife of 70 years, Bonnie (Burns) from Augusta, ME; sons Richard (Elaine) of Rockland, ME; Terry (Maria) of Jacksonville, NC; Steve (Mary) of Austin, TX; Ken (Becky) of West Lafayette, IN; Bill (Ruby) of Greene, ME; Bob (Rose) of Auburn, ME; and Dan (Tina) of Las Vegas, NV; and a host of nieces, nephews, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and friends he has entertained over the years with childhood stories, tall tales, jokes and even magic tricks.
Dick had a disarming sense of humor and never missed a chance to laugh or get into a little mischief. His grandchildren adored him and he never tired of answering their questions, spinning yarns or spending time outside with them.
He loved to hunt and fish, but he was more interested in the thrill than the kill—he loved spending time outside with family and friends. That said, he caught his fair share of fish and enjoyed venison and moose whenever he got lucky.

PLYMOUTH-Robert Chesley Kennison died September 28th in Plymouth, MA, from complications following stroke. He was 87. Born May 28, 1924 in Worcester, he was the son of the late Paul H. Kennison and Elizabeth R. (Williston), and sister of the late Carol A. Kennison (Whitney), all formerly of Westborough.
A 1942 Westborough High School graduate, Robert entered the US Army Air Corps as a glider pilot trainee, but cutbacks saw him enlist in the US Navy in mid-1943 for the naval aviation cadets program. Almost a year later he was still in basic training, so he transferred to the Navy Armed Guard - naval personnel assigned to merchant vessels in communications, signaling, and gunnery roles - hoping to see action by war’s end.
And action he saw, in convoys across the North Atlantic as a gunner aboard the Liberty Ships SS Harriet Tubman, SS Elbridge Gerry, and a T2 Tanker, SS Prairie Grove, until his honorable discharge in 1946. Humble about his service, he would say, “We just did what we were asked to do,” and often recalled friends from Westborough Fred Fleming, Francis Tully, and Harold Thompson, all killed in action, and the late Jim Marple of Burnsville, WV, a navy friend from those days.
