Robert P. BaRoss

Our family misses Bob and our father Andy Fraser. I have great memories of the Christmas Tree Inn and Bob. My condolences to the BaRoss clan.

Uncle Bob epitomized a beloved family patriarch. Together with his younger brothers Tom and John Sr. (my Dad), the branches of the BaRoss family experienced almost half a century of role model care and oversight as Uncle Bob and his brothers (and his sister Elaine) had heartfelt regular phone calls that included updates on the extended families always ready to offer advice, guidance and more.

Consider the early formative years of Uncle Bob and his siblings in the 1930s. The boys...

I first met Bob, "Mr. Baross", as a college student working summers at The Atlantic House and C E was my hang out. Bob was the kindest man and made a big lasting impression on me with his wit, business savvy, and endearing personality. Years past and as fate would have it, I met someone from town in MA who was close to Bob and the extended family and introduced me to the whole gang and all welcomed me to a memorable Christmas Tree Inn July 4th celebration. My heart goes out to Bev, Kathy,...

Bob was an icon in transportation in Maine. His company was always a strong supporter of construction and transportation and created many jobs for many people. I will never forget his kindness, his wonderful demeanor, his generosity and his sense of humor. My husband Jeff knew him through the Small Woodlot Owners and the American Chestnut Society. He will be missed. Our condolences to Beverly and his family.

Dear Kathy and Bev (and family), I was so sad to hear of the passing of your Dad and husband. Bev, you and Bob set a wonderful example of how a long-term relationship works. Kathy, I know your father was a generous, thoughtful man who helped create a great space for his family. His passing definitely puts out some light, and his good vibes will be missed. My love to you all, Alex Taylor. (Betsey Hinckley)

All, Bob truly made the world a better place. He is a beautiful soul and was always so helpful and supportive to our family. Dana and I love you all and send our heartfelt thoughts and prayers as you celebrate Bob's incredible life and grieve the end of his time on earth. Peace and Love, Ruth and Dana

Paul and family. So very sorry for your loss. Bob was such a good man. He will be missed.

Beverly and Family, I worked for Chadwick-BaRoss over 50 years ago on Forest Avenue, Portland, as a receptionist, answered the telephone and also did secretarial work for the Sales Manager. I enjoyed my time left there, a great working environment. I did not know at the time that Bob and I shared a birthdate, July 30th! I was married and had one child when I worked there, went on to have three more children, and lost my husband after 50 years of marriage.
My sincere condolences to all...
