Brunswick -  Maine National Guard Brigadier General and Brunswick Assistant Postmaster Romain B. Savoie died October 30, 2017 after a long enjoyable retirement filled with part-time work, reading and gardening.

     Raised in Topsham Heights, he married the former Madeleine Bouchard and raised three daughters.  After Madeleine's death he moved to the Highlands.  He is survived by two daughters, three grandchildren and numerous relatives.

     He enjoyed the french club, senior college classes, and social activities, especially those involving donuts or cookies.  His outgoing friendly nature will be missed.
