active community member in the Boothbay Region, he enjoyed many civic duties in the community and served as a Boothbay Selectman from 1993 – 2008. During his time as a Selectman, he was always dedicated and pleased to answer questions and make decisions for the best interest of the people of the Boothbay Region. Ross also served as a constable for the town at times, was a volunteer fireman for the Town of Boothbay and was an active member of the Boothbay Civic Association (BCA) for many years. He enjoyed helping with the 4th of July chicken barbecue on the common and could often be seen working overnight at the BCA bean hole suppers preparing the beans. Ross was a photographer and safety officer. He would often be seen reporting to fires or accidents in his bright orange 1973 Corvette. Ross enjoyed antique cars and worked at restoring the 1947 Chevy fire truck at the Boothbay Fire Station to its original specifications. In his younger years Ross spent 2 years as a Navy SeaBee, 5 years in the reserves and he was active in the American Legion. He moved to Boothbay in 1987 after retiring from his business as an auto mechanic in Framingham, Mass. Ross worked at the Boothbay Home Center which now houses the fire department. He later went on to work at Roger’s Auto Repair as a mechanic (now Dan’s Auto Repair) and later worked at the Boothbay Railway Village in the Auto Museum and Gift Shop. Ross loved the Boothbay Community and his services to the Town. He was a loyal, honest, outgoing advocate for the community. He will be sadly missed by all that knew him! TOWN OF BOOTHBAY In Memory Of Henry C. Rowe 7/6/1932 – 10/9/2020 Boothbay lost yet another loving soul on October 9, 2020. Henry was a long time resident of Boothbay, spending tireless years giving back to the community he so loved. His encouraging talks on career development to Boothbay Region High School students, serving as Treasurer and co- founding the folk choir at the local Catholic Church and being Chaplain at the American Legion showcase a few of his many civic accomplishments. He also funded “The Woodchucks”, a community based group that provides firewood to local people in need. Former Governor LePage cited “The Woodchucks” for their community spirit. Henry also spear- headed a fundraiser for construction of the Boothbay Town Office, providing the community a central location for its business affairs. Henry’s commitment and great belief in a higher education allowed others the opportunity to further themselves in the proper direction for success. He was eager to always be remembered as much more than just
