AUBURN - Roger LaRue, 79, of Auburn passed away Wednesday, July 6, 2011, peacefully in his sleep at his home with his loving family at his side after a long battle with Parkinson's.
Born in Lewiston on July 7, 1931, he was the son of Adelard and Leonie St. Pierre LaRue of Quebec and later Lewiston. He married the love of his life, Dorothy Allarie-LaRue, on Sept. 15, 1951. His devotion and love for her lasted well beyond her death 12 years ago. He still called her his sweetheart. Roger was a member of Sacred Heart Church.
As a hand sewer for many years at Sebago Shoe, he rose before the crack of dawn to commute to Westbrook from Auburn. As a result of his expertise and skill, the company sent him to Haiti, California and Paris on several occasions to demonstrate the craftsmanship of hand sewing.
He is survived by his four children, Richard LaRue, Linda LaRue-Keniston and her husband, Martin Keniston, Sue LaRue, Scott LaRue and Shelli Labbe; eight grandchildren, Eric LaRue and his wife, Jennifer, Jody LaRue and his wife, Kelley, Sarah LaRue, Michael LaRue, Joshua Keniston, Tyler Keniston, Corey LaRue and Nicole LaRue; and four great-grandchildren, Lauren LaRue, Lukas and Owen LaRue, and Madison LaRue.
Burial will be private at Glenside Cemetery in Winthrop. (Kennebec Journal 7/7/2011)
