LEWISTON – Lucien A. Fortier, 77, of Lewiston died Sunday, June 19, at Montello Manor after a weeklong stay.

He was born in Lewiston on Sept. 22, 1927, the son of Odilon and Rosanna (Dallaire) Fortier. After graduating from Lewiston High School in 1946, he enlisted in the Navy. After serving our nation for eight years, he was honorably discharged in 1954 as an AD3, with a National Defense Service Medal, a Korean Service Medal (two stars), a good conduct medal, and a Navy Occupation Medal with Asia clasp.

Lucien then worked in the mills, and retired from General Electric in Auburn.

His pleasures in life were going deep-sea fishing, rides to the ocean and being the handy-man around the house. When he was able, he helped many others with little projects they had going.

He will sadly be missed by his twin sister, Lucienne Latouche, of Auburn, and Rita and her husband, Louis Caron, of Auburn; two sisters-in-law, Pauline Fortier of Greene, and Rita Fortier of Lewiston, and many nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his parents; and four brothers, Archie, Lionel, Joseph, and Robert; one niece, Yvonne (Fortier) Toomey; one nephew, Robert L. Fortier, of Colebrook, N.H.; and one half-brother, Rosario M. Fortier.
