Carroll Arthur Lermond, of Barefoot Bay, Fla. and Damariscotta, went to be with his lord and savior on the morning of Nov. 12, 2024.
Born in Jefferson on Sept. 5, 1945, he was the son of Bud and Peggy Lermond. Carroll grew up in Jefferson, spending countless hours in the woods, hunting, trapping, and fishing on Damariscotta Lake. He attended Jefferson school and later graduated from Lincoln Academy, where he found his love for woodworking in the shop class at LA.
Early in his adult life, Carroll found his passion for driving tractor-trailer trucks.
He was one of the owners of Bristol Builders Construction Co., where he built homes and helped make dreams come true for many families in the Midcoast area. Carroll mentored many young men on the job site in construction and life. Carroll then got offered his dream job at Colby and Gale Inc., where he kept the Midcoast warm, hauling heating fuel. A job he would retire from in 2014.
In 2014 Carroll and Susan became snowbirds moving to the Barefoot Bay community of Florida. In Barefoot Bay, Carroll formed many amazing friendships, where he could be found playing darts, cards or having several meals with his friends and family. In Barefoot Bay Carroll became the local “handyman” or the friend who could go to if you just needed someone to listen and not judge, which was his specialty!!
