 Rodney N. Allen
He was born in Hallowell, the son of Rufus and Kerene Allen, Aug. 5, 1937, and was educated in the Norway school system.
Rodney married Alice E. Johnson, Aug. 31, 1959. He worked at B E Cole, A C Lawrence Leather and Tilton's Market. While working at Tilton's, he attended Auto Body Repair School in Auburn. Upon graduation, he worked at Giant Advance Auto Sales, then Harold Motors of Oxford, before establishing, owning and operating Allen's Auto Body in Buckfield in 1966, until his retirement in 1996. He also taught auto body repair at Buckfield High School.
He served eight years in the National Guard and achieved the rank of sergeant.
Rodney was an active member of the Buckfield Fire Department for 20 years and served on the Planning Board, Board of Appeals, Recreation Committee and was a member of the SAD 39 Board of Directors.
He was a founding member of the Streaked Mountaineers Snowmobile Club and owned the first snowmobile in the town of Buckfield which was a 1964 Polaris with a motor in the back.
He was also the treasurer and founding member of the Faith Bible Chapel in East Buckfield. At the time of his death, he was a selectman and tax assessor for the town of Buckfield. The same wisdom and integrity that Rodney exhibited in his everyday life, also served as a valuable asset to our community during his tenure.
His hobbies included playing jokes on his friends and family, playing the dobro and petal steel guitar, four wheeling, camping, snowmobiling, golfing, automobile restoration, cards games, and playing with his "big boy" toys which included his backhoe, bulldozer and tractors.
He was a skilled archer and avid rifle hunter who achieved membership in the Biggest Bucks in Maine Club.
In addition, he also had a lifelong passion for travel. He and the love of his life, Alice, explored all but three of the lower 48 states and spent winters with camping buddies in Florida.
Attending country music shows in Nashville and Branson were regular events. His favorite trip of all was the summer he and Alice took their daughters and their daughter’s families cross-country in a motor home.
But more important than any of these things to him was his family. He was a caring son, loving brother, devoted husband, wise and inspirational father and doting grandfather, who took every opportunity to temper fun with learning.
He is survived by his wife Alice Allen of 53 years; their two daughters, Joan Abrams and her husband, David Abrams and their three children, Kyle McCafferty, Kasey McCafferty and Lindsay Abrams and Julie Allen-Smith and her husband, Randal Smith and their son, Allen Smith; and sister, Rosalie Poland and her husband, Leon Poland.
He was predeceased by a son, Daniel Allen; and sister, Pearl Bowman.
Family and friends are invited to attend funeral services at 11 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 30, at the Faith Bible Chapel, 311 East Buckfield Road, Buckfield, followed by refreshments and fellowship.

In Memory of Patricia L. (Romano) Kimball
August 12, 1930 - November 5, 2012
Patricia L. Kimball, 82 Hartford, ME – Patricia L. Kimball, 82, of Hartford, formerly of Cumberland, died at home on Monday November 5, 2012 after a period of declining health. She was born on August 12, 1930 in West Cumberland, the only child of Joseph and Frances (Nelson) Romano. She was educated in Cumberland schools and graduated from Greely High School, Class of 1948. She then attended Northeastern Business School in Portland and had her first job at Hayes Drug Store.
Herbert Kimball, her husband of 61 years, first met Pat in July of 1950 while he was making a grain delivery to the Hulit farm. For him – it was love at first sight and on February 3, 1951 they were married in South Portland. Pat was a homemaker for her three children and she created many wonderful memories because of her focus on family. It was not uncommon for her children to have warm cookies waiting for them when they got off the bus. True to her heritage she was great at cooking Italian food and excelled at candy making, especially her peanut butter fudge.
Over the years Pat was affiliated with Avon and was a member of the President's Club many times. She enjoyed playing Uno, the piano, cross-stitch, crochet and camping, most recently at Pine Tree Acres in Buckfield. For the past 11 years Pat and Herb wintered in Wauchula, FL.
Pat will be remembered as a spirited woman who had "spunk". She also had an openness to seeing things from her children's point of view and this helped to reinforce their experience of being loved and knowing it – even if they might be in the wrong. Pat had a comforting laugh that is best described as a giggle. She will be greatly missed.
Pat is survived by her husband, Herbert J. Kimball of Hartford; her daughter Judith Bouffard and her children Shawn, James, and Sarah; her son David Kimball and his wife Karen Knight and their son Derek; her son Bruce Kimball and his wife Laurie Childers and their son Jesse; and her four great-grandchildren: Brooks, Logan, Ben and Morgan.
A Celebration of Pat's life will be held next spring. Please visit www.lindquistfuneralhome.com to share your condolences, memories and tributes with Pats family.
For those who wish, donations may be made in Pat's memory to: Alzheimer's Association, Maine Chapter, 383 US Route One, Suite 2C, Scarborough, ME 04074.
