He was responsible for getting fire towers in the area operational and staffed by volunteers after they were closed by the state. He spent many hours manning the tower on the summit of Mt. Agamenticus in dry times, in order to detect fires. This was a service he performed which was very dear to his heart.

His memory and spirit will always be in the Village Fire Station and Engine 4.

Jacqueline Pucciarelli, 74

WELLS - Jacqueline Pucciarelli, 74, a resident of Flintlock Village, Wells formerly of Medway, Mass. and Newton, Mass., died May 25, 2003 at the York Hospital, York, after a long illness.

She was born in Dorchester, Mass. on Sept. 8, 1928, a daughter of Isadora and Dora (Garber) Moran. She graduated from Newton High School, Newton, Mass.

She was a chef and pastry chef for the Colonial of Medfield, Mass. and Moran's Restaurant of West Newton, Mass. for more than 20 years.

She had an amazing outlook on life. While much of her adult life was filled with pain, she remained an incredibly positive person. She would give the world to make others happy, yet required very little in return. The life lessons she taught us on a daily basis will sorely be missed.

She enjoyed sharing life and love with her family, volunteering and assisting others, cooking, travel and dining, music, movies and theatre.

She is predeceased by her sister Edna Pucciarelli.

She is survived by her husband and constant companion of 53 years, Robert F. Pucciarelli of Wells; three sons, Neal of Cumberland Gap, Tenn., Dana of Valrico, Fla. and Gary of Wells; two daughters, Gail Pucciarelli of Kennebunkport and Tina Pucciarelli Ford of Braintree, Mass.; one sister, Evie Blumethal of Brookline, Mass.; and two grandchildren, Lisa Pucciarelli and Hannah Pucciarelli.

Arrangements by the Bibber Memorial Chapel, Kennebunk.
