CLAREMONT, N.H. — Keith Ashley Plummer Sr., 81, of Case Hill Road in Claremont, N.H., died Thursday, Dec. 8, at his daughter’s home on Case Hill Road surrounded by loved ones.

He was born in Brunswick on July 21, 1930, the son of Russell and Drucilla (Goodwin) Plummer, and had resided in Claremont for the past five years. He lived in Rockwood from 1930 to 1935 and in Lisbon Falls for 71 years.

The thing that he enjoyed most was time with family. He was a longtime fan of singer/songwriter Tom T. Hall, and one of his final wishes was to meet him. Tom T. and his wife, Dixie, granted this wish last month, having Mr. Plummer visit their home and attend a Tom T. performance in Nashville.

Mr. Plummer was a veteran of the Korean Conflict, having served in the U.S. Navy. He retired from the Pejepscot Paper Co. in 1990, where he worked as a paper maker for 37 years and later worked for five years for Uni-First Corp. in South Portland.

Mr. Plummer was a member of the Coombs-Mountfort American Legion Post No. 158 in Lisbon, the Slovac Catholic Association of Lisbon Falls and the United Paper Workers Int. Union.
