From her online Guestbook . . .
Dear Kathy & Family -- It was so nice to see you all yesterday at your Mom's service. As we rode together quietly to the church, Stan recalledso many wonderful things about your Mom. She was such a good Secretaryto him. He told how particular shewas with every budget he prepared and never once complained about sometimes typing pages over and over! Sheknew it's importance and just did it. She was that way with everythingshe did. She took pride in her work. She kept a tidy and professionaloffice and was kind and caring towards the staff. Of course, she and I used to joke that Stan was a lucky man to have two Capricorn women behind him. Jackie & I shared birthdays, 1 day apart. And Capricorn being the work horse of the universe, hehad itmade: one at home, and another in the office. She was a great gal -- To her family, we extend our sympathy and ask God to surround you with his warm embrace and mend your broken hearts. With Much Love, Stan & Lorraine Sumner

HECTOR R. ARBOUR
Kalispell, MT -- Hector R. Arbour, 63, "went to be with God" on Thursday, 29 Nov 2007, after a brave and valiant struggle with cancer. His constant positive attitude as he faced this uphill battle was an inspiration to all of us. He was bornon 16 Dec 1943, in Augusta, Maine, the son of Hector C. and Maria (Gosselin) Arbour. His early years were spent onSand Hill in Augusta, where many precious moments were shared with family and friends. As he was growing up, "Babe," as he wasknown, played ball in Little League and the Babe Ruth League and delivered Kennebec Journal newspapers in the area.Hector graduated from St Augustine School in 1958 and Cony High School in 1962. He earned a bachelor's degree in psychology fromBowdoin College in 1966 and subsequently obtained his master of business administration from Russell Sage College in Albany, NY. While at Bowdoin, he was a member of Beta Theta Pi, where he made andmaintained friendships that had lasted allhis life. During the baseball season, their usual greeting was "GO RED SOX!" He was employed by Travelers Insurance Co. in the Medicare claims department for 25 years, and his work required that he and his family move to different locations inRhode Island, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Voorheesville and Albany, NY. While living in Voorheesville, he was elected town justice, a position he took very seriously. Not only did he try cases, but he had the pleasure of marrying many couples as part of that job. After retiring, he moved to his beloved Montana in 1995, in sight of the mountains he loved so much. In Kalispell, he was a photographer for Kalispell News andlater worked for Karen Weyer Photography. Hector was apastmember of the Elks and Kiwanis clubs and a present member of the Flathead Shrine Club, having been chairman of the Shrine Circus in Kalispell for many years. He was "Shriner of the Year" in 2001. He was happy to find kids whocould benefitfromthe care Shrine hospitals could give. He worked diligently to raise the money to make that happen. Babe loved his God, his family, hiking, and biking in Glacier Park, and traveling. He was a loving husband, devoted father, and proud grandfather. His favorite meal included lobster, orange soda, and chips, followed by ice cream. His family made sure that he was always treated to this when he visited them inAugusta and on their trips to Boothbay Harbor, Maine. His appreciationof nature was evident in the photography he enjoyed and shared with others. From the windows of his home in Kalispell, he could watch the panorama of the changing mountain scenes, the geese, ducks, deer, eagles, hawks, fox, and coyotes as theypassed the property. Babe's favorite saying was "Life Is Good," and heworkedhard to make that true. A sports fan, he avidly followed the Red Sox, New England Patriots, Indianapolis Colts, and any NBA team that Steve Nash played for. He hada wonderful sense of humor, was a good listener, and was an honest, honorable,and loving man. He was predeceased in death by his father, Hector C. Arbour; two brothers, Bertrand J. Arbour and J. Clement Arbour; and his brother-in-law,Herbert G.Foley. Hector is survived by his wife, Sharon, at thefamily home in Kalispell; his mother, Maria Arbour; his sisters, Christine I.
