Bob was born on Nov. 15,
1936, in Portland. He was the son of the late Merle Harding Conlogue and
Sarah Bridges Conlogue of Portland, Maine. He graduated from Deering
High School, class of 1956. He was captain of the football team and was
voted M.V.P. of the Thanksgiving Turkey Day football game one year. He
helped to organize and celebrate the 50th Deering High School class
reunion last year.
Bob attended Portland Junior
College and then enlisted in the Air Force in communications. He spent
two of his four years overseas in Okinawa, Japan. After completing his
service, he went to work in the banking industry for Maine National Bank
and Casco Bank. He recently retired from the Maine Turnpike Authority.
Bob had an incredible work ethic. He always had many jobs. He worked in
a variety of opportunities, many of which involved taking care of
others.
Bob married Fay Weller in
1959 and had four beautiful children who were the loves of his life. He
was a devoted father. He later remarried Geraldine Elliot for five
years. Bob's soul mate and life partner for the past 17 years was
Rosemary Holleman of Gorham. Rosemary and Bob were each other's best
friends maintaining a very active life and traveling extensively. Bob
was like a father to her two children Cynthia (Holleman) Leary of
Lisbon, and Bryan Scott Holleman of Virginia. His greatest joys in his
life were his children, family and many, many friends. Bob had a wide
variety of interests. He enjoyed photography, playing guitar, motorcycle
touring, skiing with family, biking and snowmobiling.
Bob will be missed
tremendously. He was a gift to everyone who knew him. Bob was a man of
such genuine integrity. He always saw the positive in any situation. He
was a kind, generous, compassionate man who was always reaching out to
others. His spirit will live in our hearts forever.
