Gordon RIDEOUT Obituary
He was predeceased by his parents, Gordon Alan Rideout, Sr. and Wynona Thayer Rideout; his sister, Marilyn "Cece" Rideout Ashton. He is survived by his nieces, Alicia White of Laconia, NH and Carla Ashton-Cohen of Cambridge, MA; his nephew, Alan Ashton of Portland, ME; grandnieces, Ashley White Halsey of Center Harbor, NH, Jessica White of Laconia, NH and Hayley Santolucito Kelly of Airdrie, Alberta, Canada; grandnephew, Justin Santolucito of Malden, MA; two great-grandnieces, three great-grandnephews; and his honorary nephew by marriage, Stephen Cohen of Cambridge, MA.
Alan was a 1957 graduate of Paris High School in South Paris, Maine. He spent many years at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston, as a scheduler and coordinator for the nursing staff, where he was admired for his kindness, reliability, and dedication. After retiring, he continued his lifelong commitment to helping others by delivering meals through the Meals on Wheels America program. A man of deep Christian faith, he actively participated in church life and treasured his travels to Israel, the Red Sea and Lebanon.
A longtime resident of the Boston area, Alan lived in Revere, Beacon Hill, Boston's South End, Stoughton and Malden. He was known for his daily ten-mile walks, maintaining an impressive level of fitness and energy well into later life. He will also be fondly remembered for his love of sweets, especially Dunkin' Donuts coffee and donuts, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, M&M's and whoopie pies.
