FALMOUTH – Romeo Jean St. Pierre, 77, entered into eternal life on Saturday, June 16, at Sedgewood Commons, where he had been a resident for the past three months. He had previously resided in Auburn.

He was born on July 26, 1929, in Lewiston, the son of Alfred and Rose Matteau St. Pierre. He attended Lewiston schools and soon after enlisted in the Air Force, serving in the Philippines.

He enjoyed his summers camping in Old Orchard with his family. The winters for years were spent in Dunedin, Fla., where he enjoyed his time with his wife and close friends. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and friend.
