• Notes

  Charles A. Gudreau Jr. passed away Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2009, at his residence. He was born Sept. 17, 1928, in Presque Isle, the son of the late Charles A. and Elizabeth (Violet) Gudreau Sr. Charles grew up in the Presque Isle area and attended local schools, later graduating from Presque Isle High School in adult education. He served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. He worked most of his life as a mechanic for Coles Express, drove cab for Arnold & Delmar Brown, and also worked in security. He was a member of the American Legion Post. Charles also invested in the lives of other people. He was a scoutmaster for many years earning the Silver Beaver Award and producing eight Eagle Scouts. Even though Charles had two open heart surgeries in 1987 and in 1992, that never stopped him from helping others, and he received the Exemplary Award from the state of Maine for his countless hours of service to others. He had a great love for the woods and had a camp on Presque Isle Stream that he had helped his father build when he was 17. Charles was also an active member of Grant Memorial Methodist Church. He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Norma (Hewitt) Gudreau of Presque Isle; a daughter, Ellen Gudreau Cronin of Presque Isle; three sons, Stephen Gudreau and his wife, Peggy, of Mapleton and Wayne and Michael Gudreau, both of Presque Isle; three grandchildren, Michael Gudreau II, Matthew Cronin and Dannielle Cronin; three great-grandchildren, Sierra Blade, Aliysa Blade and Calliana Cronin; a half sister, Blanche Brillis of Connecticut; many sisters-in-law, as well as a brother-in-law, Wayne Hewitt. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by a brother, Victor Gudreau. Funeral services will be conducted 1 p.m. Friday at Grant Memorial Methodist Church with the Rev. Ron Chaffee officiating. Friends may call noon until the time of service at the church. Committal services with military honors will take place 10 a.m. Saturday at Fairmount Cemetery, Presque Isle. Arrangements are in the care of Duncan-Graves Funeral Home, 30 Church St., Presque Isle.
