Joseph Anthony Mellone, Sr.
January 29, 2010
Portland, ME

Joseph A. Mellone Sr, 73, of Kennebunk, passed away peacefully on January 29th, 2010_with his devoted family by his side, after a five month valiant struggle with a rare liver cancer.
He was eldest son of John A. Mellone, M.D. and Evelyn V. (Calabrese) Mellone of Barrington Rhode Island, who pre-deceased him. He leaves his loving wife Joan L. Fox of Kennebunk; his three beloved children Joseph A. Mellone Jr. of Portland Maine, daughter Michelle Arsenault of Douglas MA, and Melissa Lynch of Snellville GA; and six beautiful grandchildren of whom he was very proud; a sister Maria V.Mellone of Barrington; brother John A. (Jack) Mellone of Washougal, Washington; and niece Jennifer L. Mellone of Campbell CA.
Joe (a.k.a. “Koolman”) was born in Providence RI, on November 8, 1936, graduated from Barrington High School, Barrington RI and summered as a teen on Conanicut Island, RI, while working on the Jamestown ferry boats to help fund his college education. To accomplish this end, he also worked for the U.S. Post office and grocery stores. His schooling was interrupted while he served his 2-year obligation in the U.S. Army. He was a member of Beta Psi Alpha fraternity and graduated in 1960 from the University of Rhode Island with a major in mathematics.
At the onset of the computer age, he began his professional career working for IBM in Binghamton NY, in the new position of computer programmer using the new computer languages of FORTRAN and COBOL. His second position took him to Framingham MA where he worked for Control Data Corporation located on the “silicon highway”, Rt 128 in Newton MA. Then in 1968 he joined a start up company called AutEx Systems in Wellesley. AutEx had an idea to sell blocks of stock via their computers to large institutions. Joe was instrumental in computer programming and sales support in this endeavor. He was promoted to VP of Systems and Operations where he remained until 1988 when the company was purchased.
As a second career, Joe became a mortgage originator for Shawmut Bank in Newton MA in 1988. He was awarded “Rookie of the Year” in 1989. After 13 years in mortgage origination in Massachusetts, he and Joan decided to settle in Kennebunk ME where he went to work for Kennebunk Savings Bank as a loan originator and recently completed his career as one of the bank’s couriers.
Everyone knew Joe as a real “go-to” guy, who was always ready to lend a helping hand. He always put others first, before himself, and went the extra mile with friends, whether helping someone find a job, giving financial advice, or even walking their dogs. He was continually searching for life’s hidden treasures; he loved astronomy, knew all the constellations, and loved the earth itself and the study of geology. He enjoyed working with his hands, especially with wood, and was a talented artist, carpenter, gardener, and “fix-it” man. Anyone who saw his workshop was amazed, not only at what it contained, but how organized it was!
He loved life, people and animals and was a friend to all.
At his request, there are no services, but there will be a “Celebration of His Life” at a later date. Cremation and burial will be at the convenience of the family.

Donations may be made in his name to the Cholangio Carcinoma Foundation, 5526 West 13400 South, #510, Salt Lake City, Utah 84096 at cholangiocarcinoma.org or to the Animal Welfare Society, P.O. Box 43, Holland Rd, Kennebunk 04094
