HALLOWELL-Richard (Dick) F. Wagner passed away Wednesday, March 11, 2026, after a period of declining health at the end of 95 years of a very well-lived life.

He was heavily involved in local and civic organizations, beginning with the Yarmouth Jaycees, where he served as president. He was a director of the Augusta Jaycees, committee chair of the Augusta Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Augusta Board of Trade. He became president of the Kennebec Valley Chamber of Commerce, and was campaign chair, then president, of the Kennebec Valley United Way. As a loaned executive, he served the Maine Development Foundation's Institute on the Maine Economy.

He found time to enjoy his love of sailing with the Cobbossee Yacht Club's Flying Tern Fleet, serving as Secretary, Treasurer, and Captain. He participated in many cross-country ski races, Thanksgiving road races, and enjoyed cycling whenever possible, especially at Acadia National Park.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Kennebec Land Trust, United Way, the Good Shepard Food Bank, or Maine Public – all causes he generously supported during his life.

POTOMAC, Md. – Robert Gorham Fuller Jr., a retired lawyer residing in Potomac, Md., and formerly of Winthrop, died on Feb. 14, 2026, at Cogir Senior Living Facility of Potomac, Md. He was born in Boston, Mass. on Dec. 28, 1938, the oldest son of the late Robert G. Fuller and Constance B. Fuller.

After completing his secondary education at Milton Academy in Massachusetts, Fuller graduated from Princeton University in 1961, and the University of Pennsylvania Law School in 1964. He practiced law briefly in southern Maine before returning to Augusta, where the Fuller family had resided for several generations. One Augusta ancestor was Henry Weld Fuller Jr., who built the residence in Augusta now occupied by the Kennebec Historical Society. He was also related to Brig. Gen. Seth Williams, a Civil War officer who served on the staff of Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant; Melville Weston Fuller, who was the chief justice of the United States from 1888 to 1910; and Daniel Cony, the father of public education in Augusta and for whom Cony High School is named.

Mr. Fuller was an assistant attorney general in Maine from 1968 to 1970. He left public service to start his own law firm and later joined the Augusta office of Pierce Atwood LLP, from which he retired in 1991. Mr. Fuller turned to managing family investments with his late father, who died in 2010. His many interests turned to philanthropy. He gave generously to many Maine charitable organizations and institutions, often with no desire for recognition. In Augusta, he was a major donor to Howard Hill Historical Park and provided the funds for the veterans’ study area and lounge at the University of Maine at Augusta. He helped to build a shelter for women veterans, the Sisters in Arms Center on Summer Street. A family foundation he headed funded the children’s reading room at Lithgow Public Library and he personally funded the rehabilitation section at MaineGeneral Medical Center’s Alfond Center for Health in honor of his wife of 23 years, Moira Hastings Fuller, in 2015. The foyer of the Kennebec Valley YMCA is also named in honor of Mr. Fuller and his (late) wife.

HALLOWELL - Kevin Kane, beloved husband, father, and grandfather, died peacefully after a brain aneurysm on February 6, 2026, surrounded by family. Kevin embraced life and lived it with exuberance, joy, kindness, generosity, and a deep love of the outdoors. His laugh was infectious; his garden was magical and productive. He was curious, passionate, caring, contemplative, and a little mischievous, too.

Kevin never shied away from hard work and loved to help others whenever he could. He enjoyed exploring the wilds of Maine and beyond, always eager for a cross-country ski in fresh snow or a swim - no water was too cold for him, it seemed! He and Mary were active as land stewards for the Kennebec Land Trust and volunteers with Hallowell Conservation Commission. Following his retirement in 2018, Kevin and Mary enjoyed many adventures and lots of travel. They canoed the Allagash, cruised the Danube, and climbed Machu Picchu. Just as exciting were visits to their children and grandchildren.

Kevin cared passionately about conservation, history and preserving Maine’s natural places for us and future generations to enjoy.
