1962 – 2016

SUMNER — Maynard A. Farrar, 54, of Sumner died Friday, May 20, at his home in Sumner, surrounded by his loving family.

He was born on, April 30, 1962, in Norway, a son of Robert Farrar Sr. and Lorraine (Tarr) Durgin. He attended Hartford/Sumner and Buckfield schools.

As a very young man, he worked with his father and brothers in the woods. He later bought a truck of his own and never looked back. Maynard owned and operated Maynard & Sons Trucking for many years, maintaining nearby towns, including plowing, sanding, ditching, putting up winter sand and everything else in between. He also did private excavating work from prepping house lots to septic systems.

He loved nothing more than being behind the wheel working in one of his many pieces of equipment. Not until the last few years did he enjoy traveling, but he started looking forward to his family’s annual trips to Disney World.
