Charles “Charlie” F. Herrick, passed away on January 2nd and life will never be quite the same. A partner at Schooner Landing in downtown Damariscotta, husband to his adored and adoring bride Katrina, and father to three girls who gave him a run for his money; Charlie was the life of the party. This phrase is used all of the time, but for people who knew him, this could not be truer for Charlie.

You’d be hard pressed to run into him without hearing a joke or hilarious story, likely for the third or fourth time. He had a mean golf game and an even meaner air guitar, skied the trees and moguls with the young guns, enjoyed sunsets and Red Stripes in Jamaica, punched it around corners in his old BMW around coastal Maine, and sipped many a light and stormy at Coveside.

So today, and all of the rest of your days, tell more jokes, jam on your air guitar and be unapologetically who you are and keep a little more Charlie in this world.

A party for Charlie will be held from 2:00-5:00PM, on Saturday, January 12th at the 1812 Farm in Bristol.

Arrangements are under the direction and care of the Strong-Hancock Funeral Home, 612 Main Street, Damariscotta, ME 04543. Condolences, and messages for Charlie’s family, may be expressed by visiting: www.Strong-Hancock.com.
