August 21, 2015
Portland – George “Larry” Robicheaw 82, died on August 21, 2015 at Maine Medical Center surrounded by his loving family. He was born June 23,1933 in Westbrook, Maine, the adored son of George and Clara Robicheaw.
Larry graduated from Westbrook High School in 1951 where he played baseball for the legendary Fred Harlow, and was a proud member of the “51”State Championship team. He was honored to be selected for All Telegram league honors for his baseball accomplishments that year. After graduation Larry attended Portland Junior College (now USM) while working for his father’s Mobil Service Station in Westbrook. At this time he was introduced to his true love and future wife Frances A. Geary on a blind date (thank you Maurice and Kathy Harvey) before being drafted into the U.S. Army where he spent a year of service overseas in Korea. Upon leaving the military Larry began a 36 year career as family provider and papermaker at S.D. Warren Co. until his retirement in 1998.
Their first of four children arrived in September 1959 and Cedarhurst Lane in Portland became home for Robicheaw fun and family traditions for many years to come. Larry was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather and he pursued and shared the beauty he found in everyday life with each member of his family. He was an avid reader with an unquenchable thirst for historical knowledge, forever in search of an obscure anecdote he could turn in to a humble lesson of humanity for his friends and family to enjoy. His love of the New York Yankees and the game of baseball was well known and he was an active member of the Society for Baseball Research. Larry would send hand written letters to baseball players in their golden years asking for the compliment of their autograph and the notes he received back always thanked him for remembering them.
Larry lived for his annual trip (28 times) to St.
