Carroll “Freddie” Lewis, 90, of Waldoboro, previously of North Berwick, passed away at his home at “Smith’s Foster Home” in Waldoboro on May 28.
He was born on July 11, 1920 in North Berwick, the son of Fred Jacob and Eva (Boston) Lewis.
Carroll, better known as Freddie, was the youngest of five sons. He attended school for several years but was never able to learn to read. He was a very friendly and helpful person; and well liked in North Berwick. When his parents could no longer give him the care he needed, his twin brother, Carlton, provided a home for a while with him and his family.
Carroll lived in several adult foster homes, the last being Smith’s Foster Home in Waldoboro where he resided for the past 33 years. He was very active in the community, attending Riverside Adult Services at Chase Point and Mobius Inc. in Damariscotta, and bowling twice a month. Until he “retired,” he enjoyed working in the Smith family vegetable garden.
He loved all animals, big and small; dogs, cats and especially horses.
He was predeceased by his parents; brothers, Floyd Knight Lewis, George Boston Lewis, Clarence Fred Lewis; twin brother, Carlton Lewis; and favorite sister-in-law, Celia F. Lewis.
Surviving are nieces, Tenley Prince and husband Harry of Saco, their family, Alyssa and Jamie DiPietro, Angela Prince and Damon Laflin; Linda Theriault and husband Bruce and sons Sean and Adam of Buxton; Carlene Alofs and husband David and children Zack, Grace and Courtney of Scarborough; and Barbara Lewis and children Molly and Ryan McKinney of Sarasota, Fla.
