Obituary: Cumberland Foreside-Howard F. Detmer, Jr. age 92 of Cumberland Foreside died morning 22, 2010 at Brentwood Manor in Yarmouth. He grew up during the Depression, fought in World War II, enjoyed success in athletics and business and through it all he was sustained by a rock solid foundation of faith and family.
He will be remembered for many things but most of all he was defined by his selflessness and love for his wife Josephine, daughters Linda and Anne, son Edward and step-daughter Zareen. He was defined as well by a lifelong devotion to his Roman Catholic religion. Mr. Detmer did not just practice his faith -- he lived it. He died on Dec. 22, 2010 in Yarmouth at the age of 92.
Bud Detmer was born in 1918 the son of Howard F., Sr, and Florence Cook Detmer in the Chicago suburb of Hyde Park, where he was one of five brothers. At Loyola Academy in Chicago he was educated by Jesuits while earning distinction in athletics, including track and football. His plan to attend the University of Notre Dame to play football was derailed by a broken leg. Instead, he went to Williams , where he played football, and was followed there by two of his four brothers.
He graduated from Williams in 1941 and, immediately after Pearl Harbor, he enlisted in the Army where he rose to the rank of Major and served with distinction in the European theater. Two of his brothers also served in the war including his younger brother Edward, who was killed in action in the Philippines.
Returning from the war, he went to work in New York for W.R. Grace & Co. He married Harriet Gertrude Smith, whom he knew from Chicago, and who was working in the retail fashion industry in New York.
their marriage, the adventurous young couple moved to Ecuador and then Argentina where Mr. Detmer worked for Pan American Grace Airways, then known as Panagra.
In 1950, the Detmers returned to Chicago where Mr. Detmer began a series of positions in business with family-owned companies beginning with the W.G. Smith Co. In the late 1950s, the Detmers moved to Portland Maine where Mr. Detmer took a position with E.E. Taylor and, a number of years later, with C.H. Robinson, a paper company.
In the late 1950s, Mrs. Detmer developed a grave illness and died at the age of 42 in 1960, leaving a widowed Mr. Detmer to raise his three children who were then ages 6, 8, and 10.
``He was the most wonderful father in so many ways,\ recalled his daughter Linda Knowles.
In 1970, Mr. Detmer married Josephine Hildreth Mirza, a native of Falmouth Foreside who taught at Waynefleet School and who remains active in a variety of Maine philanthropic causes.
``He was a very good citizen in all aspects of his life,\ recalled Mrs. Detmer. She noted that he was devoted to a variety of community causes and activities and through the years he served on the boards of directors of St. Josephs Manor, Maine Cerebral Palsy, the Service Core of Retired Executives, the Waynefleet School, and Portland Little League.
Throughout his life Mr. Detmer was an avid sportsman and outdoorsman who enjoyed fishing, particularly at Yoke Pond in Maine. As a member of Portland Country Club for 50 years, he excelled at golf and he also took up skiing at Sugarloaf later in life.
He leaves his wife of 40 years and three children, Linda Knowles of Jamestown, Rhode Island, Anne Detmer of Boston, Edward Detmer of Kensington, California, and his stepdaughter, Zareen Taj Mirza of Cumberland Foreside , two brothers, Martin Detmer of Chicago and Gene Detmer of California. Also survived by six grandchildren.
There will be no visiting hours. Relatives and friends are invited to attend a Mass of Christian Burial to be celebrated on 28, 2010 at 11am at Holy Martyrs Catholic Church, Falmouth with Fr. Joseph Ford as celebrant. Interment will be private.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in his memory to Holy Martyrs Catholic Church, Foreside Road, Falmouth Foreside, Maine 04105 or to Morrison Development , 70 US Route 1, Scarborough, ME. 04074. are under the guidance of Jones, Rich & Hutchins , 199 Woodford St. Please visit www.jonesrichandhutchins.com for additional information and to sign Mr. Detmers guestbook.
