Howard resided at Robin's Nest Group Home in Warren, Maine for the past 35 years, where he was cared for compassionately and lovingly by his caregivers. Vivian, Ed, Marie, Chad, Dana, and Vicky.
Howard was better known to his family as "Butchie"
As children we knew Butchie was different. Our parents would just say, " he's a special gift from God". As we grew, we came to understand how special of a gift he was to our family. He taught us how to accept a disability with Grace. He has enriched all our lives in so many ways.
Howard was the son of William and June Duchesneau. He will be lovingly remembered by his brother Tom and wife Heidi, by his brother Bob and wife Jean, by his sister Bonnie. Also, by his nieces: Bethany and husband Jeremy, Nichole and husband Brandon and June. Also, by his nephews: Bobby and wife Lindsay and Jeffery. His great nieces and nephews: Cody and fiancé Kassy, Tyler, Patrick, Emily Rose and Ethan. His great great niece and nephew Oakleigh and Oliver. Also, all his cousins and extended family.
We wish to thank Maine Hospice for the loving care they gave Howard in his final days.
There will be a private ceremony for the family at the cemetery. In lieu of flowers please send donations to Robin’s Nest Group Home, C/O Marie Tripp, 203 Main St, Warren, Maine 04684. The money sent to the house will be used next summer for an outing for the men he lived with and care takers.
