Rudolph (Rudy) Regut, 94, Edgecomb, died June 14 at Maine Medical Center after a brief illness.
Born in Riga, Latvia, on March 16, 1905, he lived with his family on a baron's estate and began work at an early age, helping in the garden, carrying water, and feeding the animals. During his youth he experienced German and Russian troops engaged in battle in the region and had a strong dislike for war.
He immigrated to the United States as a teenager under the auspices of the Lutheran church. He moved into the Lowell, Mass., area, and was employed by a contractor, learning the carpentry trade while working on developments in the area. He later secured a job with a boiler making company that welded gas tanks for Beacon Oil Co., and after a few years purchased a location in Everett and began his own welding business.
At that time he purchased a large powerboat and visited Maine frequently. On one trip he purchased large acreage on River Rd. in Edgecomb, put a road into the point he had cleared of timber, which he milled, and constructed a house.
His Everett business was taken by eminent domain for a new parkway, and in the early 1940s he moved to Edgecomb. He constructed a shop in which he built cabinets, windmills, birdhouses, and many other items. He later purchased an old house on Bus. Rt. 1 in Newcastle and single-handedly converted it and the adjoining carriage house in eight apartments, each with a river view, which is part of his estate.
Always active and energetic, he became a commercial lobsterman, setting traps in the Damariscotta River.
Mr. Regut had been a professional wrestler in earlier days and proudly displayed trophies he had won in that sport and in golf. He was an avid motorcyclist for more than 30 years.
In his early days he played accordion in a band and, until recently, would entertain friends and neighbors with a lively tune. Another hobby was to collect and preserve mushrooms he gathered around his property.
He was an ardent outdoorsman and hunted and fished throughout the area, owning a hound dog for many years of rabbit hunting. A week before he died he shot a porcupine that had for four years been destroying a large willow tree in his yard.
Mr. Regut was an avid gardener and, until his health failed in recent years, had grown vegetables and berries that he preserved for his yearly needs. He continued to plant tomatoes in pots on his deck for a fresh summer supply and had many flowering plants in his living area.
Emma, his wife of 59 years, died Oct. 13, 1998 in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Survivors are a daughter, Audrey A. Ing of Honolulu; a son, Robert E. Regut of Nobleboro; four grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.
