Robert (Bob) Goodale, 83
Wells -
Bob died suddenly after a short illness. Born in Cambridge, MA to Ruth and Raymond Goodale, Bob lived most of his life at the old family homestead in Wells. He graduated in 1959 and shortly after married his first wife, Phyllis.
Bob joined the Electrical Union 490 and became a master electrician. A few years later he started his own commercial electrical company, Thor Electric, where he worked until retiring. His second wife, Priscilla, died in 2018.
Bob had two children: daughter Jane Driscoll (husband Michael) and son Peter Goodale (longtime companion Michelle). He also had a stepdaughter, Cindy Desjardins (husband Gary).
Bob had four siblings: Janet Smith of Camden, Brad of Ogunquit, Kenny (deceased) and Raymond (deceased). He loved and enjoyed his six grandchildren: Jennifer, Kyle, Katie, Danielle, Nicole, and Michelle; and his five great-grandchildren.
Bob had many friends in the area with whom he enjoyed camping, fishing, and hunting. There will not be a day that passes where Bob won't be missed in our hearts and minds.
Visiting hours are Friday January 24, 2025 from 4 to 6 p.m. at Johnson Funeral Home, 26 Market Street, North Berwick. There will be a private burial service in the spring.
