SEBAGO — Abraham Parker, 68, of Sebago, died on Oct. 26, 2010, at the Maine Medical Center in Portland.
He was born in Sebago on June 22, 1942, the son of Carlton Martin and Lucretia Douglas and was educated in local schools. He proudly served in the United States Air Force for seven years and retired from the Air National Guard after 13 years. He was a proud veteran and respected all who served.

Abraham was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting and fishing. He also enjoyed teaching others this hobby giving many a chance to experience the outdoors. He always had a big heart and was there to lend a hand to help anyone who needed it. He loved his dogs and his “mountain” and will be sadly missed by many. Sebago has lost a man who truly cared about the community and all who live here.
Surviving are his former wife, Patti Parker; his companion, Linda LaMontagne; two sons, Chris Parker and Mike Parker; sister, Diane Lettelier; brother, Stephen Douglas; six grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.
