Ralph Loveday
A multi-talented creative spirit who felt perfectly aligned to his inner being through the exquisite joy he shared through his comedy, perfect celebrity impersonations, trumpet playing, conga drum beating, big band conducting and his beautiful jazzy singing voice! A short description for Ralph is LOVE!! Generous, kind, never knew a stranger, lover of animals and critters... right down to the tiniest ant and tadpole!
Robert "Bob" Clark
This marks the passing of Robert Harrington “Bob” Clark. He worked hard. He played hard. He lived his life filled with a passionate determination to make the world a more orderly and better place. Both markers of the true Marine that he was. Bob was born in Augusta, Maine on August 8, 1934 and left the world on November 9, 2016 while residing in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. He lived many places throughout his life, but raised his family in Darien, Connecticut, retired to Stuart, Florida, and spent every summer at his home in Boothbay Harbor. Outside of his lifelong career with Procter and Gamble, Bob spent countless hours being an organizer of the finest kind for his family. During the 70s, he brought the Noroton Manor neighborhood together with an annual Christmas carol sing. He volunteered for many years for the Darien Junior Football League. He was the Chief of All Nations for the YMCA Indian Guides. There are so many places where Bob donated his time and energy to make the world a better place for others. Bob Clark was an avid boater. As the captain of Mother and many other vessels, he enjoyed pulling lobster traps, serving as the committee boat for the whaleboat Middlesex, and cruising with a cocktail on Long Island Sound and around Coastal Maine. Bob loved his time golfing at Willoughby Golf Club, carving beautiful duck decoys, playing the gutbucket and the banjo, drinking bourbon Manhattans, rooting for Notre Dame football, and singing with the University Glee Club of New York City - not necessarily in that order. He was a loving husband to Glenna for over 56 years - a devoted father to Deb (Clark) Holden, Rob Clark, and Betsy (Clark) Balmat - a supportive father-in-law to Kevin Holden, Vicki Clark, and Dan Balmat - and a caring grandfather to R.H., Evan, Julia, Tommy, Nick, and Michael. Bob Clark will be missed by all who knew him. Missed for his wit and song. Missed for his love and loyalty. A celebration of his life will be held in Boothbay next summer but until then, raise a glass and sing a song in his honor.
Darren Webb
Darren was the epitome of ‘family man’. He was kind-hearted, terrifically intelligent, and worked incredibly hard to provide and build a future for his family, and this love and support extended beyond his relations. He was the central figure on which his entire family network was supported. It is an absolute tragedy for Darren to have lived such a short life, and all those left behind are utterly devastated at the tremendous loss they now feel. Although his life ended far too soon his years were full of humour, compassion, success and an overwhelming amount of love. Throughout Darren’s life his genuine, kind nature reached a vast amount of people both personally and professionally. Sadly he will never know how many lives he touched. During his career he developed working relationships and friendships across the globe so this page provides everyone, near or far, an outlet to share fond memories, funny anecdotes, and kind thoughts of Darren to express how immensely missed he is going to be.
Barbara Joan Belliveau Guy
Barbara was born and raised in a small town, River Herbert, Nova Scotia. You could take the girl off the farm, but not the farm out of the girl.

She married and moved several times before settling in Victoria, BC to raise her family. In 1982 her heart called her home to Nova Scotia where she lived until 2012 when again she made the trek across the country to be closer to her children and settled in Sechelt, BC.

Gordy Partridge
Gordon Thomas Partridge February 18, 1952 - October 04, 2016 Our beloved brother Gordy passed away suddenly but peacefully on October 4, 2016 after serious illness weakened his recovery from a very recent heart operation. Older brothers Jim and Pete with younger sister Patti and our extended families celebrate Gordy’s expansive legacy of love amongst a wide and warm circle of friends spanning the country and the continents. We have been astounded and touched by all the tender tributes pouring in. Gordy led a professional life of service in transportation with a happy sideline hobby of amateur stardom rocking the music, broadcast and film industries in Vancouver, infusing all his many forays and friendships with irrepressible fun and laughter. His precious joy of life will be profoundly missed until we all meet again aloft
Dave Couture
Dave Couture died suddenly October 3rd in his second city of Los Angeles. Dave will be remembered as a son, grandson, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend to countless others. His laugh was as genuine as his smile and he considered himself equal parts NH, NC and CA. He loved sports, specifically the Minnesota Vikings, Boston Red Sox and Bruins, and his NCSU Wolfpack. Dave was quickly liked by people he met--but his true friendships ran especially deep. With a quick wit and the ability to make us all chuckle, he will be greatly missed. From his made-up words (cher-nasty) to his bendy hugs to his impassioned rants--Dave was full of passion for things that mattered to him. He had a soft spot for animals--and kids, who loved his goofy but protective demeanor. Dave had a strong sense of right and wrong and when combined with his intense work ethic, he would do whatever it took to get something done the right way. We hope that sharing great memories, picture and videos of Dave on this website will help us all remember his spirit and all the fun that surrounded him.
Eric Broekaert
In great sadness and sorrow, we have to inform you that our beloved and inspiring mentor, colleague and friend Eric Broekaert has passed away (1951-2016) Eric Broekaert fruitfully and successfully developed “Orthopedagogiek” (Special Needs Education) at Ghent University and – for many years – he was the chairman of the Department of Special Needs Education. Professor Broekaert was an very inspiring and enthusiastic teacher who introduced many students and colleagues in his integrative, holistic and action-oriented theory on special needs education. He was the founder of the drug-free therapeutic community De Kiem and he was an internationally renowned expert in the field of therapeutic communities and the treatment of substance abusers. He was one of the founders and the first president of the European Federation of Therapeutic Communities (EFTC). In 2015, he received the EFTC-award for his extraordinary contribution to the development of and research on therapeutic communities. Eric was the chairman of the Orthopedagogical Centre ‘Nieuwe Vaart’ for support to children with emotional and behavioural disorders and he was a member of the management board of the European Scientific Association for Residential and Foster Care (EUSARF) and of the Centre for Children in Vulnerable Situations (CCVS). Under his leadership, the department of Special Needs Education flourished and developed into a research group of international standards. Eric advocated for the integration of quantitative and qualitative methods and for “the alternative going together” of a diversity of theories and paradigms, always focused on improving the living situation of children, adolescents and adults in vulnerable situations. He was a convinced proponent of international and inter-disciplinary cooperation. Eric Broekaert passed away on 28 September 2016 in a hospital in Rome, where he gave a keynote lecture some days earlier at the 25th EWODOR-congress (European Workshop on Drug Policy Oriented Research). We lose a warm, charismatic and well-read personality, but above all, a brilliant mind and scientist. We will truly miss you, Eric ! We would like to extend our sincere condolences to his wife Kathy, his children Pieter-Jan and Rilke and the other members of his family and we wish them strength and courage to cope with this great loss. On behalf of all the colleagues of the Department of Special Needs Education
