Frank B. Taplin, 55, of Pemaquid, passed away at his home on Jan. 25. Born in Portland on April 22, 1954, he was the son of Theodore and Mary (Harris) Taplin.
Frank grew up in Pemaquid and attended local schools. He was self-employed as a clam digger for many years, but his real passion was boat motors. He loved working on motors and could get anything working. His friends would bring him bits and pieces, but Frank always managed to get it running.
He is survived by his wife of 13 years, Joyce Fortier-Taplin of Pemaquid; daughters, Stacey Taplin and Tanya Taplin; step-sons, Thomas Walker and Robert Walker; brothers, Ronald Taplin and Monty Taplin; as well as his extended family and friends.
At his request, there will be no service.

Arrangements are under the direction and care of the Strong-Hancock Funeral Home, 612 Main St., Damariscotta.
