Edward N. Poore
2006-01-19
Edward Norris Poore, 90, of East Boothbay, died peacefully Friday, January 13, at the Maine Veterans Home in Scarborough, surrounded by family.
Mr. Poore was born on the Fourth of July in East Boothbay, the son of Nathaniel and Annie Poore and the last remaining of 17 brothers and sisters.
He wore many different hats in his lifetime. He spent six years (two hitches) as ship's cook on the Coast Guard Cutter, Mojave. He was not a bad cook and was very proud of his career, often remarking, "I've never lost a man ".
Mr. Poore was well known throughout the Boothbay Region. Though his disposition was sunny, the weather often was not and he became a bit of a legend when it came to predicting it. His weather predictions were quoted in the local newspaper and were correct. Just before his death, he predicted a winter with "very little snow" and that the Farmer's Almanac was wrong. It is still in dispute whether the Almanac or Mr. Poore has the better track record, but let's just say, winters could be very bleak now that we must rely solely on the Almanac.
He worked in local shipyards as a lobsterman, a stop-seiner, and as a caretaker to cottages on Ocean Point. Mr. Poore loved the summertime, loved to work and considered many of his customers treasured friends.
On April 4, 1939, he married Anna Ruby Poore. Most every holiday was spent together and every July 4th there was a birthday party with children, grandchildren, great- grandchildren and friends in attendance.
He was a lifetime member of Bayview Masonic Lodge.
He was predeceased by his wife in 1999, a month before their 60th wedding anniversary; and by his faithful companion, Sheeba, his dog who died a week ago.
Survivors include one son, Rodney E. Poore and wife Karen of Scarborough; two daughters, Mary Brown of Niantic, Conn. and Martha Reed and husband Alan of Boothbay; eight grandchildren, Diana Zajak, Jennifer Price, Nathan Poore, Michael Brown, Andrew Poore, Erin Dupee, Tim Reed and Jamie Reed; and nine great-grand-children.
Visitations will be held at Simmons, Harrington & Hall Funeral Home in Boothbay Friday, January 20 from 6 to 8 p.m. with a Masonic Service at 7 p.m. A memorial service will be held 1 p.m. Saturday, January 21 at the Boothbay Baptist Church with Rev. Dan McNutt and Al Roberts officiating. Burial will be in the Oaklawn cemetery in Boothbay Harbor.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Lincoln County Animal Shelter, P.O. Box 7, Edgecomb, ME 04556 or American Heart Association, P.O. Box 346, Augusta, ME 04330.
