Glen Rock, PA and Caribou, ME – Donald I. Wyman, 55, passed away on July 17, 2008, at York Hospital in PA. Don was born in Perth, New Brunswick on February 19, 1953, the son of Marjorie (Davidson, Wyman) Bell and Chester Wyman.
Donald was predeceased by his fathers Chester Wyman and Frederick E. Bell and a niece Lindsey McLauchlan.
He will be greatly missed and remembered by his wife of 31 years Cynthia (Holt), son Travis and his partner Sarah and grandsons Bryce and Kaleb all of Glen Rock, PA.
Don grew up in a large and loving family which included his sister Norma (Wyman) Thompson and her husband Robert of Caribou, their daughter Stephanie and their son Bryan and his wife Melissa (Knight) and their children Sydney and Landon; his sister Vicki (Bell) Lizotte and her husband Don of Serbia, and their children J’aime and Joe; his brother Fred Bell and his wife Lynn (Habeeb) of Cross Lake and their son Alex; his sister Mary (Wyman) McLauchlan and her husband Paul of Woodland and their sons Ian and Justin; his sister Sheila (Bell) Currie and her husband Noel of Presque Isle and their daughters Emilee, Rilee, Libbee, and Maggee; his sister Helen (Bell) Necevski and her husband Zlatko of Oakland and their daughters Mikhaila and Madison; and several aunts and uncles.
Don graduated from Caribou High School in 1971 and graduated from Maine Maritime Academy in Castine, Maine in 1976 with a degree in Marine Engineering. After graduation he worked at Bethlehem Steel for three years and he decided to utilize his degree by joining the U.S. Merchant Marine as a Third Engineer, and he was associated with the MEBA Union. The last ship he worked on was the Liberty Star, where he worked as a First Engineer until his illness in 2005. Even though he sailed on many vessels traveling the world, his heart was always in Maine.
He enjoyed spending time restoring antique vehicles, a trade he learned from his Dad. Other enjoyments were the History channel, music, and time with family and friends, but one of his greatest enjoyments was spending his summers at his camp on Long Lake, Maine where each year Family Weekend was celebrated. The family will always feel blessed that Don was able to attend Family Weekend this past July 4th and those memories will always be treasured. In honor of his wishes his ashes will remain at Long Lake.
