Laurence E. Peaslee Sr.
Laurence E. Peaslee Sr., 85, passed peacefully with his immediate family by his side on Jan. 29, 2021 at the Gregory Wing in Boothbay Harbor.
He was born March 14, 1935 in Somerville to Guy Peaslee and Leola Benner Peaslee. He lost his Dad when he was only 16 and his Mother when he was 55. Laurence grew up in Somerville and attended local schools. He worked with his Dad and his siblings on the family farm and in the woods all through his youth. He and his older siblings worked hard to support the family after the loss of their father. He developed a strong work ethic; a trait he made certain to pass along to his own family.
