WILLIAM SUMNER
William Garry Sumner, 79 of Farmington, Maine passed on November 21,2020 at Maine Medical Center. He was born in Walkerville, AR on October 27, 1941, the son of Burnice and Eddie Mae (Simms) Sumner. He graduated from Emerson High School on May 19,1960. He was a proud Navy veteran, serving from 1960 – 1964.
He was an outdoorsman passionate about hunting, fishing and sharing these experiences with family and friends. The squirrels didn’t stand a chance. Friends called on him to help fix something mechanical that no one else could figure out. He had a gift for mechanics and loved sharing his knowledge. He also has a gift for not remembering where he left his tools saying “somebody else used them.“ He was a self- educated man who could look at a problem, sit down with a piece of paper, figure it out and then make it happen. For 10 years, after retiring in 2007 from Verso Paper in Maine, he would spend the winter at his property in Walkerville, AR , returning to Maine for the summer, always traveling with one of his dogs. He had a passion for life and was a man of integrity, committed to those he loved.
He leaves behind his life partner of 23 years, Debbie Seeley, daughter & son-in-law Lisa & Matt Fisk of Maud,TX, Buffy & Nathan Reeve, Melissa & Steve Emmons both of Farmington, ME with grandchildren Breanna, Savannah, Jose, Iliana, Jackson & Wren and 4 great-granddaughters. We all mourn.
In lieu of flowers donations may be given to the Franklin County, Maine Animal Shelter or Lancer Legacy Ranch.
