Robert Jandreau Obituary

Robert J. Jandreau, of Caribou, Maine and Ellenton, Fla. died peacefully on November 18, 2012, surrounded by his loving family. Robert was born in St. Francis, Maine on October 5, 1925 to Felix and Philomen Jandreau, one of eleven children. He enlisted in the 292nd Army Engineering Combat Battalion in 1944, and served during WWII in central Europe. On June 17, 1950, he married Aline Beaulieu and they moved to Limestone, Maine, where he was employed by the Corps of Engineers at Loring AFB. After his retirement in 1980, Robert and Aline began splitting their time between Florida and Maine. He is survived by his wife Aline of Ellenton, daughters, Janine Reeves of Bethel, VT, Michelle (Doug) Cahill of Vail, CO and Denise (Rich) Cronin of Wells, ME. He is also survived by four grandchildren: Daniel Luttrell of Burlington, VT and Calder, Lia and Elie Cahill of Vail, CO; a sister, Annette Dumond of Fort Kent, ME and Alphie Jandreau of Summerfield, FL. He was predeceased by four brothers and four sisters and his grandson, Matthew Reeves. A military service will be held at a later date, at the convenience of the family. Robert's request was that any contributions in his memory be made to the Matthew Reeves Memorial Scholarship Fund, Mascoma Savings Bank, 55 Main St., Bethel, VT 05032.
