Romolo Carbone, Jr.
Romolo E. Carbone, Jr. 70, longtime resident of Main Street, Waterboro died suddenly at his home Monday, Jan. 7.
He was born in Boothbay Harbor Feb. 6, 1937, son of Romolo E. and Florence (Hodgon) Carbone, Sr. and attended local schools there. Early on in life, Carbone learned the lessons of hard work and working with the public as his family ran the Boothbay Fruit Company for several generations. It was during a trip “South of Portland” that he was introduced to Janet Sample, who would later become his wife and mother to their three children.
Carbone and Janet raised their family in Waterboro and he was employed at Cyro Industries in Sanford for more than 25 years and bowled in the Cyro bowling league. He was devoted to his children and was affectionately named “Pampa” by his grandchildren. You could find him playing board games and cheering on his grandchildren at their many sporting events. He enjoyed the family run fantasy football league. He loved working in his vegetable garden and Friday night suppers became a tradition within the family. During the summer, his barbequing skills came in handy. He would treat his wife on Saturday mornings by having tea and donuts with the kids as she enjoyed some quiet time. He had a huge heart for his family and his home was known to be the doggie daycare for his four-legged companion, a beautiful black lab named Rebound.
His is survived by his wife of 41 years, Janet of Waterboro; his son, Scott Carbone and wife Julia of Alfred; two daughters, Betsy Carbone-Delano of Portland and Liane Renaud and husband Leon of East Waterboro; six grandchildren, Brandon Carbone, Briana Delano, Dawson Renaud, Caleb Delano, Skylar Renaud and Chloe Delano; his brother, Robert Carbone of Boothbay Harbor and Naples, Fla.

Jessica M. Gill was an angel, as a child she had no fear. She was delightful and well- mannered and full of energy. I remember the day I spoke to her for the first time, when she was 3 years old.She and Sarah were so open and loving and accepting of the new Step-mother before that was a reality. She loved to swim. She love animal and my memory of her wanting a kitten that no one thought she would be able to catch, asking if she could have it. She was told if she could catch it she could have it and "Lisa" was taken home.
Her golden hair and baby blue eyes. She will always hold a place in my heart. She was my step-daughter, in my heart she will always remain. I was once told that all of our children are gift from God and he loans them to us for a while and then takes them home. Jessica like your step-brother Joey you are now out of pain. They are both in Heaven and they are happy. In God's time only 45 minutes of your time will pass and we will join you, I know you are waiting on all of us here on earth to join them.
