Harry Timothy Holt

NORRIDGEWOCK – Harry Timothy Holt, 74, passed away unexpectedly, but peacefully, at his home Sept. 25, 2023. Tim was born in Skowhegan on Jan. 17, 1949, to Emma (Mamie) Blaisdell and Ulmont (Monty) Holt.

Timmy worked at Madison Electric, CMP, and Bluerock Industries before ultimately retiring from Sappi Fine Paper at age 62. He loved his Tuesday night card games with his buddies, along with his Friday adventures and dinners. He also enjoyed getting in mischief with his lifelong friend Frenchy (Gerald French). His beloved cellar, which doubled as his fix -it garage, was a place where everyone loved to gather. It encompassed his beer fridge, woodstove, laughter, and amazing conversations. It was a meeting place for many.

Timmy was the epitome of what it meant to be a good man and he led by example. He was a man of his word and always put others first regardless of their circumstances. He was the smartest and strongest man we were all privileged to know. A true graduate from the school of hard knocks. He was self-taught and no job was too big or too small. We had our own personal MacGyver. His creativity and character were unmatched. He accepted every challenge tossed his way. If anyone could find a way, Timmy could. The impression he left on all of our lives is immeasurable. Timmy lived the kind of life we can all be proud of, a real icon. Timmy loved his family and friends with all of his heart. His legacy will live on through everyone he touched. Legends never die.

He was predeceased by his parents, sisters; Jean Smith, Dianne Young, Brenda Marr, Joyce White, brother Joe Holt, in-laws: Norris (Nutty) and Josephine DeRoche, sister-in-law Julie DeRoche, and brother-in-law Russell Johnson.
