Robert J. Cote, 81, of Saco, and formerly of Biddeford, passed away on Tuesday, January 3, 2023, at Seal Rock Healthcare in Saco.
Robert was born in Waterville, Maine on June 20, 1941, a son of Roland and Glendina (Roy) Cote. He was educated in the Waterville school systems.
As a young man Robert started his working career in manufacturing in the town of Waterville. He was known for having a very strong work ethic, and continued to work in manufacturing and textile mills throughout his life. After leaving Waterville, Robert moved to Florida, then to Sinclair Maine, finally settling in Biddeford. While in Biddeford he worked for Biddeford Textile, and continued with them up until their closing.
Robert was a long time snowmobile enthusiast, and loved to travel up north to enjoy the many miles of trails. He was also an avid fisherman, and he loved to play poker with his buddies.
He will be sadly missed by many.
