Bob passed away on Sunday, August 9 with Carol, his loving wife of 58 years, by his side. He was number seven of eight children by his parents Adelard and Julianna Huard. As a young man, he served his country in the Army which allowed him to travel to Europe. After his time in the service, he became a machinist and resettled in his hometown of Winslow, where he met Carol, married and started a family. We have many memories of Bob (Dad) and want to share some of our favorites.

• He grew up a diehard Yankee fan. Like most boys of his generation, he admired the sluggers in pinstripes: Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle. But once he had his children, he realized he needed to shift his allegiance to the Red Sox: Yaz, Jim Rice, Fred Lynn.
• He was light on his feet. A wonderful dancer, he took lessons as a young man and could cut up a rug as if he was on Dancing with the Stars.
• Music made him move. He loved it all! Especially that song "with a good beat, you know the one".
• He was a funny, funny guy. Loved a good joke, loved to make people laugh, and especially loved to laugh at himself.
• A kind heart who cherished his family and friends. Enjoyed going to work each day, reading history, and loved all things about Maine – especially the weather.

Bob was not one to make a fuss, a simple ceremony will be held at Veteran's Cementery in Augusta on xxx date at xxx time.
