Norman J Cote 1944-2010
York, Maine – Norman J. Cote, 65, of 790 York Street, beloved husband, father and friend left this Earth peacefully on Monday, April 19, 2010. He was born August 4, 1944 in Lawrence, MA a son of the late George and Estelle (Cote) Cote and had lived in Nashua, NH for many years before moving to York, Maine. He was a veteran who devoted most of his career to the Federal Government. He recently retired, enjoying the fruits of his labor along the shores of the Atlantic. We may feel that his time was too short, but he enjoyed every moment of his retirement relaxing and traveling to warmer places. What our Storm set out to do, he conquered; with ease and grace that will forever warm our hearts. He leaves his cherished wife of 41 yrs, Carol A. (McEnaney) Cote; two daughters, Karyn M. Cote and her husband, Dylan Gallagher of Saco, ME and Michelle M. Reedy and her husband Michael Reedy of Litchfield, NH; two brothers, Paul J. Cote and his wife, Doris of Methuen, MA and Chanel Cote of Berlin, NH; two sisters, Lorraine Comeau and her husband Paul of Hampstead, NH and Denise Trottier and her husband Robert of Chester, NH; several nieces and nephews. Though time and distance kept him apart from many of you, rest assured; he found inspiration from all whom touched his life.
