WATERVILLE -- Patrick "Jerry" Dempsey, 56, died on Saturday evening, Aug. 13, at Thayer hospital after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born in Fort Kent, Dec. 19, 1954, a son of the late Patrick Gordon and Nellie Marie (Voisine) Dempsey, and moved to the Waterville area at the age of 2.
He attended local high schools.
Patrick went on to do a variety of work including electrical, painting, plumbing, carpentry and basically any kind of work that involved using your hands, but most of a he was the No. 1 mechanic for many.
Patrick was a big fan of auto racing, especially NASCAR. He could tell you more than you ever thought you could know about any driver, particularly Dale Earnhardts Sr. & Jr., and was an accomplished race car driver himself. He will be remembered for his loving and caring heart. Patrick would always devotedly put others before himself and was a great son, brother and father.
Patrick is survived by his children, Patrick and Derrick and significant other, Loren Frost, who are expecting Patrick's first grandchild in December 2011; siblings Bernadette Paradis, Danny Dempsey, Thelma Perry, Karen Elliott and Gayle Workman; and by many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends who all loved Patrick.
Special thanks go out to all the hospice volunteers and staff at the Harold Alfond Cancer Center for their love and support during this difficult time.
Visitation was held Wednesday at Veilleux Funeral Home, 8 Elm St., Waterville. A Mass of Christian burial will be held 11 a.m. today at Sacred Heart Church, Pleasant Street, Waterville. (Morning Sentinel 8/18/2011)
