Michael Edward Lanouette

North Berwick—Michael “Mike” Edward Lanouette, 75, passed away peacefully on March 27, 2024, at home with his family by his side.  He was born in Dover NH, on May 9, 1948, to John Baptist Lanouette and Anita Louise Bennett Lanouette of South Berwick.

He graduated from South Berwick High School in 1966.  Soon after graduation, Mike started as an apprentice working at the Portsmouth Navy Yard, Shop 38 for 10 years.  In 1977, he started working at Bruno & Stillmen building lobster boats.  In 1979, Mike began working at Pratt & Whitney as a Mechanical Engineer and retired in 1999.

Mike was a member of the American Legion, North & South Berwick Rod & Gun Clubs, and a volunteer of the South Berwick Fire Department for 18 years.

Mike loved the outdoors and could always be found in the fall either deer hunting or lucky enough to get a moose permit.  He shared this love with his wife and his father-in-law Dwight. He adored his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
