Obituary: Freeport - Kenneth Alfred Ryder, 82, of Freeport died unexpectedly on 22, 2015 in Lewiston. He was born in Lisbon Falls on 1, 1933, the oldest child of Zona (Smith) and Harold Ryder. He was educated in Pownal schools and graduated from Freeport High School. He served in the US Army for two years and during this time he married Barbara J. Libby of Freeport in 1953 and together they had a daughter.

Ken had a very strong work ethic and at various times worked at the Freeport Mobil station, BIW but most noteworthy was his lifelong work in shoe manufacturing. He was at work when he took ill and passed from this life to the next just the way he wanted - working. He was never at a loss for something to do and could be found tinkering in his shop and could fix just about anything. He generously gave of his time and talent.

In earlier years, Ken especially enjoyed hunting and had a number of Big Bucks to his credit. He was a talented water skier and proved it by staying dry. He also enjoyed bowling, horseshoes, golf, snowmobiling and a good ride on his Gold Wing. A tragic fire in 1977 left him with third degree burns over 60 per cent of his body. His determination, or stubbornness -depending who you speak to, helped him to recover and return to work. He was a lifetime member of the Freeport Fire Department. Riding his lawn mower and gardening helped Ken to keep moving in later years.

Ken will be remembered for being a devoted husband and his attentiveness to Barbara, especially these last two years. He could be set in his ways but he was steadfast. He will also be remembered for being a good big brother and a man of his word. He is already greatly missed.

He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Barbara Ryder of Freeport; his daughter Diane Dennison and her husband Michael of Freeport; his three grandchildren: Kenneth Dennison of Brunswick; Russell Dennison of New York; Roberta Navarro and her husband Jake of Mass; his brother Calvin Ryder and his wife Wilma of Linneus; his sister Millie Robinson of Freeport; his sister Sandra Randall and her husband George of Pownal; his sister-in-law Virginia Allen and her husband Nate of Freeport; as well as many, many nieces and nephews. The friendship of Helen and Sharon Fournier; Eugene and Linda Davenport and William and Vicki Lary have been especially meaningful.

Visiting hours will be on 25 from 5 - 7 PM at Lindquist , One Mayberry Lane, Yarmouth with the funeral service also at the funeral home on 26 at 1:00 PM. Burial will follow in Elmwood , 590 Elmwood Road, Pownal. Please visit www.lindquistfuneralhome.com to view a video collage of Kens life and to share condolences, memories and tributes with his family.

For those who wish, donations may be made in Kens memory to: Freeport Fire Department, Bud Fournier Memorial Scholarship, 4 Main Street, Freeport, Me 04032.

Obituary: Cecil A. Ryder Jr. of Yarmouth, ME died on 13, 2016 at Falmouth by the Sea, from complications of Alzheimers disease. He was born on 28, 1931 in Livermore Falls, ME, the older son of Cecil A. Ryder and Mary Agnes Houlihan Ryder, who predeceased him. He was also predeceased by his younger brother, Patrick.

Cecil graduated from Livermore Falls High School in 1950, where he lettered in four sports, and was invited to try out for the St. Louis Cardinals. He served in the United States Air Force from 1951 to 1955, including a tour of duty in Korea as a demolition expert. Upon discharge, he attended the Auburn Maine School of Commerce. Later in his career, he attended the Williams School of Banking.

He spent many years with Key Bank, retiring in 1993 as a regional vice-president and branch manager . failing at his first attempt at retirement, he joined Getty Petroleum in South Portland as a terminal supervisor. When he retired a second time in 2000, he promptly went to work for the Yarmouth Public Works Department. In the winter, he worked as a custodian in various Yarmouth schools; in the summer, he mowed the lawns at the Royal River Park. There, he knew every dog by name and always had treats for them, even calling his wife on occasion with emergency requests to replenish his supply.

During his more than fifty years as a Yarmouth resident, Cecil was very active in civic affairs. He was a volunteer fireman, a reserve police officer, and a Cub Scout troop leader. He served on the Yarmouth Town Council for twelve years, including two terms as chairman. He was a member of the Chamber of Commerce and the Lions Club, and served as president of both. In 1965, he was chosen as the Grand Marshall of the Clam Festival Parade.

Cecil had a dry wit and strong opinions, both of which he delighted in sharing. He loved animals, especially cats, and fed every stray that came to the door, in spite of his wifes continued complaints. He was an enthusiastic duffer at golf, and an excellent fisherman and hunter. He especially enjoyed the many Thanksgiving weekends he spent with his card-playing, story-telling, practical-joker buddies at Seldom Inn in Kingsbury.

Cecil is survived by his wife of thirty-six years, Mary Ross Ryder, stepson Ross Haskell and his wife Jean and their children Alexander and Evan, who will especially miss their Big Cec. He is also survived by his former wife, Lorine Beaulieu Ryder, and by several cousins.

A celebration of life will be held on , 1, at 11 AM, at First Parish Congregational Church, 116 Main Street, Yarmouth. A private burial will take place at a later date in the Veterans in Sanford, ME.

The family wishes to express its heartfelt gratitude for the kind and loving care given to Cecil during his last months by the staff of Falmouth by the Sea, and by Hospice of Southern Maine. Memorial donations may be made to H.A.R.T. of Maine, PO Box 351, Cumberland , ME 04021, or to the charity of ones choice.
