700 ACRE ISLAND and ISLESBORO – Michael E. Macaulay, 65, of 700 Acre Island, passed away Sept. 25, 2011, in Belfast. He was born Oct. 18, 1945, in Damariscotta, to E. Donald and Olive (Hodgdon) Macaulay.

Monahan and her husband, William, of Rockland, Mass.; siblings, Gail Rolo and husband, Arthur, of Sedgwick and Marc Macaulay and wife, Lori, of Hollywood, Fla.; grandchildren, Graeme William Macaulay and Jake Michael Macaulay; niece, Ali Macaulay of Hollywood, Fla.; cousins, Dick Hodgdon, Stan Hodgdon and Virginia Roberts, all of Boothbay; his black labs, Devil’s Island Taz and Devil’s Jabez Jake; and many, many friends.
Memorial services will be held at a later date. Arrangements under the care of Riposta Funeral Home, 182 Waldo Ave., Belfast. Donations may be made in Michael’s memory to Waldo County Oncology Department or Islesboro Ambulance. Online condolences may be offered to the family at
