SPRINGVALE — Henry P. Plamondon, 87, a lifelong resident of Springvale, died March 17, 2015 at the Newton Center.

He was born May 6, 1927, to the late George and Beatrice Landry Plam-ondon. He attended local schools until being interrupted at age 17 to serve in the Navy on the USS Casco, in the Pacific theater. He was later honorably discharged and returned home to finish his education, graduating from the Sanford Veterans School in 1947.

After graduating, he had various jobs, such as driving water tanker trucks in the great fire of 1947. He would later begin a 35-year career in automotive repair and service stations. His repair skills, hard work and honesty, coupled with an incredible memory, made him successful and known to all.

Henry belonged to the American Legion, Knights of Columbus, and was a lifelong member of the VFW. He relished time outdoors with many memories and vivid recollections of hunting and fishing with his buddies.

But most special were those hours he spent boating on Square Pond, where he owned a fishing camp. There he spent countless memories with his mother, daughter Lori, grandson/caregiver Brian and his countless friends he had made over the decades.

Besides his grandson, Henry is survived by: his in-laws; cousins; nephews and nieces in the U.S. and in Canada; his longtime companions; and Martha, as well of thousands of friends.
