Gorham – Rudolf W. Kaserman, “Sonny”, 79, a long-time resident of Gorham, passed away unexpectedly at his home on May 3, 2013. He was born in Portland on November 30, 1933 to Johanna (Meyer-Guntner) and Rudolf Kaserman, Sr. He grew up in Portland, graduating from Portland High School and later attended the University of Maine and Franklin Pierce College.

Rudolf was a U.S. Army veteran and served during the Korean War. He was a lifetime member of the Plumbers & Pipefitters Local Union #716 and worked at Douglas Bros., Ltd. for over 20 years before retiring in 1995.

Rudolf had an adept ability to make or fix anything, especially if it involved stainless steel. He enjoyed raising sheep and keeping bees on his property as well as making maple syrup and apple cider every year with his family. He always had a story or joke that he was willing to share. Rudolf was happiest when surrounded by his grandchildren.
