AUBURN — Donald R. Goulet, 66, of Lewiston died on Saturday, Sept. 6, at the Hospice House of Androscoggin Home Care & Hospice after a period of failing health.

He was born in Lewiston, Oct. 8, 1947, son of the late Antonio and Cecile Galarneau Goulet. Don was educated in Lewiston schools and graduated from St. Dominic High School in 1965. He proudly served his country in the U.S. Marines during the Vietnam War and was the recipient of two purple hearts. He married Donna Nelson on Aug. 30, 1969. He began his career with the U.S. Customs and from 1982, until his retirement in 2002, he was employed by the FBI as a special agent.

Don enjoyed hunting and fishing, but most importantly, time spent with his family. Don’s greatest joy in life was his six grandchildren. Upon Don’s retirement from the FBI, he aspired to write a book about his life and his experiences. Don realized his dream in 2008 when the book he authored, titled “Chesuncook,” was published.

He is survived by his wife, Donna of Lewiston; two daughters, Karen Doiron and husband, Chris, of Beacon Falls, Conn., and Kristen Fluet and husband, James, of Gorham; a son, Keith Goulet and wife, Hilary, of Annapolis, Md.; six grandchildren, Payton and Cassidy Doiron, Lauren and Will Goulet and Lydia and Emily Fluet; a sister, Monique Nadeau and husband, Fern, of Kennebunkport; and a brother, Bertrand Goulet and wife, Gloria, of Sabattus. He will be greatly missed by his brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, and many nieces and nephews. He will also be missed by his Marine Corps brothers (Semper Fi), law enforcement family and numerous friends.

He was predeceased by a sister, Venise Morin.
