YORK, Maine Family, friends and colleagues remember Edward Ted Little as a good friend and hardworking community leader.
Little, a current member of the York Budget Committee and former longtime member of the town s Board of Selectmen, died Sunday morning at 80 years old, according to Sue Little, his wife of 57 years. He leaves behind four children. He was a wonderful husband, and he was a wonderful dad, Sue Little said.
In some ways, the COVID-19 pandemic was a gift of more time spent together, she said.
Along with his public efforts to serve the community, Ted Little helped in more subtle ways. One small example, Sue said, is that he would often give rides to people without cars. He was very gentle, she added.

YORK, MAINE - On Thursday, Dec. 17 at 7 p.m., Tom Carnicelli will give a reading of poems from his latest collection, Older Still, at the York Public Library via Zoom.
This is his third poetry collection, and his third reading hosted by the York Public Library. In his first two collections, Old Guy, Part One, and Older Guy, he explores his thoughts and feelings about old age and retirement. In the new book, he continues in that vein, but branches out to explore the experiences of other people, too, such as this year’s high school seniors.
There are also ten poems about the pandemic. As he writes in his preface, Carnicelli does not write “seriously depressing poems” and writes about even the most serious topics “with not too heavy a touch.” Coronavirus presents quite a challenge, but he manages to take a lighter look at things like social distancing and hand washing.
