AUBURN — Maurice Edward York Jr., 70, of Oxford, died Sunday, Jan. 22.

He was born Nov. 27, 1941, in Oxford to Maude (Pike) and Maurice York Sr. Jr. attended school in Oxford and remained on the homestead in Oxford all of his life; he enjoyed hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, camping, walking, picking berries and working in his garden.

He was always very proud of his potatoes and a walk through the garden always took place when you stopped in to visit. Jr. worked at Penley Mills in West Paris, until poor health forced him to retire early. Ed and Nancy Young and Donnie Knight remained friends of his all his life; he was happy to receive a visit from his childhood friend, Ken Twitchell, last summer.

Jr. is survived by his siblings, Sharlene Stefani of Dixfield, Robert and wife, June of Bethel, Raymond of Arizona, Priscilla Nickerson of Oxford, Carol of Oxford and Gloria Moore of Kentucky; cousins, George and his wife, Helen McKay of Norway, Calvin and his wife, Lois Libby of Gorham, Jean McKay of Naples, Marian (Libby) and her husband, Hartley Alley of Brewer; and many nieces and nephews.

Jr. was predeceased by his parents, Maurice and Maude; and his sister, Ruth Alice (York) Davis.
