My Tribute: My father Richard had a hard life battling addiction. He was injured at work but was in the middle of getting his business together so he declined surgery and decided to just get pain killers instead. My father then got hooked on these drugs and once his supply of them ran out he switched to heroin. He battled addiction for 10 years going in and out of rehab trying to better himself. My father returned to living in the same area as my family. My mom had remarried and that left my father with no one. He lived in a 20×20 foot room in the upstairs of an old lady’s house. He only had me that kept in touch with him and come visit and go out with him. My father then was prescribed annex. He started abusing these drugs and before I could speak up to him, the nice old lady he had roomed with found him dead in his room from a herion overdose. My father was a caring wonderful man and he did not deserve this at all. Now he is at peace.

My Tribute: To know my son, was to love my son. Brandon lost his battle with addiction May 19, 2016. He fought his addiction for 4 years. He was in a wonderful rehab, St Christopher’s Inn from November til February. Unfortunately this disease got the better of him. He started with pills and ended up on heroin, he would always tell me he was ok, I did try to help him and left no stone unturned for him. Brandon was an amazing man who would do anything for anyone. He loved sports (49ers, Mainers) his friends and family, his pet dog Aldon and his love for making pizza, if asked he would tell you he was the worlds greatest pizza maker. He is missed dearly each and everyday. He is always in my heart.
