ROBERT J. AUCLAIR
GREENVILLE, ME- Robert J. Auclair (Big Bad Bob), 56, of Greenville died December 31, 2007 after a courageous battle with lung cancer. He was born on November 15, 1951 in Presque Isle, ME, son of Robert and Mary (Depointe) Auclair. He grew up in Woonsocket, RI, the oldest of his three brothers and two sisters. He was taught to have a great appreciation for hunting and fishing from his father, who helped him get his first deer when he was 15 years old. An avid sportsman, it was his love of the Maine woods that brought him to Greenville 20 years ago to make it his home. Bob also enjoyed Harley Davidson motorcycles and rode as often as he could. He will be fondly and affectionately remembered by many of Greenville’s children as a loving caregiver through the daycare he ran with his wife Debra.

He is survived by his wife Debra. He is also survived by his children Lauren Stone and her husband Alex, son Travis Auclair and their mother Lorraine Auclair, who was Bob’s good friend. He is also survived by daughter Mindy Jones and her husband Scott of Bellingham, MA and step children Kirstin and Durgin McKusick. In addition Bob is survived by his mother and father, sister Kathie Bourdon and husband David of E. Douglas, MA, sister Sharon Dupre, brother Tommy Auclair and wife Karin, brother Brian Auclair and wife Lynn all of N. Smithfield, RI, brother Derek Auclair and wife Gail of Montana, grandson Jack and Ryan Stone and Scott and Kyle Jones, many aunts, uncles, cousins, and nieces and nephews, as well as numerous friends.
