NEW SHARON – Roland J. Guimond, 62, a resident of New Sharon, passed away on March 27, 2022, at his home. He was born Sept. 7, 1959, in Lewiston, the son of Ernest J.B. Guimond and Georgette (Beaulieu) Guimond. He attended schools in Monmouth.

Roland worked at Chick Orchards for many years, he also worked as a custodian at SAD 52 and at CMMC, retiring in 2009 due to health issues. He enjoyed anything and everything outdoors: four wheeling with his grandson, Aidan, hiking in the woods and playing in the brook with his granddaughter, Hayden, camping, sailing and walking with his dogs, Cookie and Izzy. Roland was a caring, kind, loving dad, grandfather, brother, son and friend. He brightens the room just by walking in.
