To the family of Ed Perreault, who
passed away on October 22, our deepest sympathy. Ed was one of our
tireless workers, serving on the Board of Directors for over six years,
and as co-host with his wife, Barbara, at our Annual Meetings. He and Barb
cheerfully arrived at the Library at 7:15 a.m. to start coffee, run to
Gray for fresh donuts and bagel, then rush back to help set up tables and
chairs. They headed the sale of our Tripp Lake aerial photos and he
willingly helped clean the Public Beach and the Cove on each Clean-up Day.
He was the first to pick up and hand-deliver Spring Newsletters to
neighbors in their area of the lake. Besides Barb, he leaves children and
grandchildren. He will be missed.
Our deepest sympathy to the family of Robert "Bert"
Skehan,
who passed away the end of October at the age of 97. Bert was one of the
founding fathers of the Tripp Lake Improvement Association and contributed
greatly to its success over the years. He’d lived on Jordan Shore Drive
and in recent years shared him home with his late nephew, Ed Donahue and
Ed’s wife, Millie, of Norwell, MA He was a fine gentleman with a keen
mind and gentle humor, and will be missed.
