CASEY, PAUL DEAN - 72, passed away, Saturday, November 4, 2017 at Maine General Hospital in Augusta, Maine. He was born May 1st, 1945 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to Stephen Henry Casey Jr. and Grace Pauline (Cook) Casey; the middle son of their three boys.

He served in Vietnam earning the Vietnam Campaign Medal, Vietnam Service Medal with bronze star, Navy Commendation Medal, Sea Service Deployment Ribbon, Battle “E.” Ribbon, Good Conduct Medal and Gold Wreath Award for Excellence in Recruiting. While in the Navy, Paul met and married his first wife Lorraine and started a family. The Navy gave them the opportunity to travel and see much of the United States. When it came time to retire, Paul moved his family back to Maine. He had been stationed in Maine before he found a love for the area and settled down in Lubec in 1984. He worked with Stanley Sheldon doing construction, Eric’s Hardware, Head of Maintenance at the Oceanview Nursing Home, and then on the island as the owner of Paul’s Variety.
