RUMFORD – It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Donald James Dragoon on Aug. 29, 2022.

Donald was born on July 7, 1931, in Mexico, to Isadore and Stella (Yakstas) Dragoon. He was educated in Peru and Mexico schools and graduated from Mexico High School in 1949. Donald enlisted in the U.S. Army and served in Germany as a Corporal with the 184th Medical Company.

Donald returned to Mexico and went to work in the Oxford paper Company. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and spending time at the family camp at Worthley Pond. In retirement Donald became a fan of motor cycling, snowmobiling and ATV-ing. He was a self-taught cook who specialized in Lithuanian Kugela.
