VASSALBORO – Roy Augustus Brackett, of Vassalboro, died at home on Feb. 5, 2022.

Roy is survived by Ruth Brackett, his wife of 66 years; son, Don Brackett; and grandsons Rurik Brackett and Ian Brackett.

Roy was a master electrician who retired from Colby College. In his retirement he enjoyed camping, fishing, hunting, and enjoying the lovely home he and Ruth shared. In later years he took up wood carving and often had a project in progress in his shop or on the kitchen table.

He could also often be found volunteering with the Vassalboro Historical Society or attending meetings at the Masonic Lodge, particularly if there was a potluck supper involved.

According to his wishes, there will be no funeral, instead, Roy’s family encourages friends and relatives to enjoy a walk in the woods or a visit to the seashore with someone they love.
