SOUTH ADDISON – Richard “Joe” Denny, 73, went to be with the Lord March 5, 2004, at a Bangor hospital. Born April 14, 1930, in Addison, he was the son of Emma (Norton) and Richard Denny. Joe served his country as third class quartermaster in the Navy for three years, then returned to South Addison, where he earned his living as a lobster fisherman for 42 years. He was a quick-witted conversationalist who made friends easily and opened his heart and home to all. He will be remembered for his love of hunting, his broad smile and big hand wave. He enjoyed attending church, studying the Bible and sharing his faith in Jesus Christ. Joe was predeceased by his parents, brothers, Leonard and Ernest; and baby sister, Helen. He is survived by his beloved wife of 53 years, Eva; brother, George and wife, Francena; sister-in-law, Clara Denny; several very caring nieces and nephews, many friends and a special kitty, “Spitz.” A celebration of Joe’s life will be held at 1 p.m. Sunday, March 21, at the Union Church, South Addison. Donations in Joe’s memory may be made to the Friends of Nash Island Light, P.O. Box 250, Addison, ME 04606.
