In Memoriam

Kevin Kane
Kevin Kane

HALLOWELL - Kevin Kane, beloved husband, father, and grandfather, died peacefully after a brain aneurysm on February 6, 2026, surrounded by family. Kevin embraced life and lived it with exuberance, joy, kindness, generosity, and a deep love of the outdoors. His laugh was infectious; his garden was magical and productive. He was curious, passionate, caring, contemplative, and a little mischievous, too.

Kevin never shied away from hard work and loved to help others whenever he could. He enjoyed exploring the wilds of Maine and beyond, always eager for a cross-country ski in fresh snow or a swim - no water was too cold for him, it seemed! He and Mary were active as land stewards for the Kennebec Land Trust and volunteers with Hallowell Conservation Commission. Following his retirement in 2018, Kevin and Mary enjoyed many adventures and lots of travel. They canoed the Allagash, cruised the Danube, and climbed Machu Picchu. Just as exciting were visits to their children and grandchildren.

Kevin cared passionately about conservation, history and preserving Maine’s natural places for us and future generations to enjoy.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to The Vaughan Homestead Foundation (www.vaughanhomestead.org), the Kennebec Land Trust (www.tklt.org), or the Augusta Food Bank (www.augustafoodbank.org).

Ricky Pomerleau

MOUNT VERNON – It is with heavy heart that we announce the unexpected passing of Ricky Pomerleau, at the age of 77. He gladly joined his beloved departed wife, Beth Borgerhoff, on Sept. 15, 2025.

Ricky was a true believer in the popular saying “There are no strangers here; only friends you haven’t met yet.” A truly open and accepting person, he could converse with anyone he met and find a meaningful connection that often would last a lifetime. A free spirit, with the kindest heart, he never hesitated to share everything he had with family, friends, or someone in need. On any given day, his warm smile and twinkling blue eyes always conveyed more than a bit of mischievousness, along with warmth, love, and humor.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Kennebec Land Trust.
