OLD TOWN, ME and CHICAGO, IL Richard "Dick" Roberts Gleason died peacefully on August 20, 2018 in Bangor, Maine, at the age of 91. Dick was born in Rochester, NH, July 27, 1927, the son of Clifford and Anna Gleason. After attending high school in Arlington, MA, Dick served in the US Marine Corps during the end of WWII, where he was stationed in China. He graduated from the University of Massachusetts with a degree in Animal Husbandry in 1949. He worked in the milk industry in Boston before moving to Chicago, where he, with a friend, set up a printing franchise with the Sir Speedy Company. After selling the business some years later, he happily stayed on as a "helper printer" to the new owners. Upon retirement in 2007, Dick moved to Old Town, Maine. Dick never married, but wherever he went, he gathered many true friends. He was a man to himself and his warmth, kindness and intelligence (and perhaps his slight eccentricity) attracted all. Dick is survived by his sister, Martha Pease; and his sister in law, Sue Gleason. He has five nieces and nephews, Dr. Joanna Pease, Eric Pease, Dick Gleason, Nancy Jenkins and Edward Gleason. He will be greatly missed by all his relatives and friends, who all will remember him with love.
