He had many accomplishments and successes as a civil engineer and construction superintendent, but he was most proud of his family. He was a devoted and loving husband, father and grandfather. Always willing to help or provide support in any way he could. In his retirement he enjoyed volunteering his time at Midcoast Hospital, Midcoast food pantry and meals on wheels. He was a wonderful friend and neighbor, a true gentleman always with a "Can Do" attitude. He loved the Lord, being outdoors, a good meal, a good laugh and a good tease. He is survived by his daughters, Cynthia Burdzel and Cheryl Bouchard (John) both of Brunswick, his grandchildren Ryan Knight (Erin) of Harpswell, Kara Burdzel and Morgan Goodfellow (Ryan) and great granddaughter Ivy Goodfellow all of Brunswick. He will forever be in our thoughts and hearts. There will be no services at his request.To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
