Condolence From: Michael Donham
Condolence: My heart broke to hear of Waite's passing. In 1975 I started to build my cottage in So Waldoboro. I worked for two weeks before having to return to the Boston area. In those two weeks, I think I came to the store on Main St. nearly every afternoon just before closing to buy the supplies I'd forgotten the previous day. After the third day, Waite offered me a store credit account. Coming from the 'big city', it was a lesson in Maine hospitality and good business. Every year after that, when I returned to Waldoboro in the Spring, I'd drop into the store and instantly be greeted by Waite from across the store not skipping a beat, saying, "Hi, Mike. How was your winter". Another lesson in Maine hospitality.
Waite and Mary ran a store and participated in community life in a style that enriched each of us who crossed their path. His loss leaves a big hole for me after these nearly 40 years.
Michael Donham,

Condolence: Waite Weston was a father figure and a friend to me. A more gracious, hardworking and straight shooter of a man never walked this earth. He was smart but humble, practical but not cheap and, above all, a loyal and decent friend, father and citizen. Summing up the measure of a person in a few sentences is a fools errand. But - suffice it to say - if the world had more Waite Westons in its midst, the world would be a better place.

Condolence: Waite and Mary were two of the first people we met when we came to Waldoboro in 1971. At the store and around town they were so very friendly and helpful to newcomers. We are so sorry that they are both gone. Wonderful people and fine representatives for the town.
