was honored with a permanent seat. During the summers he enjoyed watching horse pulling contests, attending the annual bean hole dinner in Patton, and visiting with friends during cookouts at the residence of Maggie and Brad Scott. Buster enjoyed history, and as a part of Old Rockwood, he was the expert to which everyone turned for stories, lore, and even rumor. Buster was an exceptionally kind and gentle man, loved by all family and community members who ever encountered him. Though more like a grandfather to most, Buster was known as “Unk” or “Unkie” to members of his family. He will be much missed and fondly remembered by sisters, Rachel Chase of Greenville, and Margaret Davis of Newington, Conn.; as well as nieces, Laura Calder Munster Douglass and husband, Alan, Mary Bryant, Raelene Parlin and husband, Raymond, Betty Simpson, and Tammy Grenier; nephew, Malbert Chase; great-nieces and great-nephews, Misti, Jodi, Michael Jr., and Jason Munster, Laurie Bryant Soule, Craig Bryant, April McCaslin, Amanda, Andrew, and Joel Parlin, great-great-nephews, Damien and Devon; special friend, Geraldine Douglass of Florida; devoted caregivers, Stephanie Ashley and Jan Tomer; and all other family, friends and community members who ever knew him. Special thanks to Tunney King Sr., and Maria Avery for all the kind care and extra things they ever did for Unk. Buster was predeceased by his mother, Laura Maude Ellingwood Calder; stepfather, Hubert Herman Calder; sisters, Georgiana and Glennis; brothers, Ralph, John, and Clarence Calder, as well as special brother-in-law, Arnold Davis Sr., husband of Margaret; and special nephew-in-law, Michael Nelson Munster Sr., husband of Laura. Memorial services will be held 11 a.m. Sunday, May 30, 2004, at The Rockwood Community Center in Rockwood. Friends, family, and community are strongly encouraged to attend and speak at the service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Make A Wish Foundation, 87 Elm St., Suite 203, Camden, ME 04843, for Buster loved all children and thought each one deserved the world. From Laura to Unk, Thank you for always being my “rock of Gibraltar,” and always being there for my kids. You were and are the best. We will all miss you so much. You were one of a kind, truly unmatchable. You will be in many hearts forever.
