BUXTON/LIMINGTON- Terry Eugene Weymouth, age 77, formerly a longtime Buxton resident, passed away on March 27, 2019.
He was born in Portland on August 5, 1941, a son of the late Harry R. and Julia (Dyer) Weymouth.
He was raised in South Portland, attended and graduated from South Portland schools in 1959. Terry graduated from the University of Maine in Orono – Class of 1963 with a degree in Biochemical Engineering. He proudly served in the United States Army as a 1st Lieutenant in the Chemical Corps in SE Asia. As an officer, he was always reminding everyone to look sharp and wear a belt!
After travelling the world extensively through his work, he met his future wife Judy on a blind date. They later married and she moved to live with him in Maine. Terry worked for SD Warren Pulp and Paper, National Semiconductor, and Vishay Sprague before retiring in the late 1990’s.
In 1976, Terry and Judy moved to Buxton after buying a farm. Here he raised their children Harry and Betsy, of whom he was very proud. Terry took great joy in telling people they raised their own food – both meat and vegetables long before it was a “thing”! While living in Buxton Terry served on many town committees, including the budget committee, solid waste committee, West Buxton Public Library, and being senior elf for the Buxton Toy Box for 18 years.
Terry enjoyed travelling in his retirement. His favorite places to visit being Eastern Canada, and spending time at Wolcott Pond on summer days at a camp with Judy and lifelong friends Sara and her husband John along with her family– Kat and her husband Curt, and their children. This was a tradition for 55 years.
Terry enjoyed small woodworking projects like making bird houses for his family their friends. He was always willing to lend a “Weymouth Gripper” (a hand) for his daughter Betsy’s many projects.
Terry took great pride in making sure his family was taken care of and secure.
