Clifford Daigle

Cliff Daigle, 81, passed away peacefully at home on April 18, 2023. Cliff was born in Howland, Maine, on January 26, 1942. He was the son of Ivan and Tina Audibert Daigle.

He grew up in Lee, Maine, with his father, mother, and little sister Norma, often helping his father in the family logging business. He was a doting big brother to Norma and would laugh out loud as he retold stories of their youth.

Cliff received his Forestry degree from the University of New Brunswick. He then started his career at the Great Northern Paper Company, where he worked as a research technician for almost 30 years.

Cliff was a true outdoorsman and proud NRA member. He loved being in the woods and told many stories of his hunting and fishing adventures.

Upon his retirement from “The Northern,” he planned to move south to Florida. However, fate was to intervene when he met his fiancée, Carmen Horton.

He did move south, but only as far as Bridgton where he stepped into his role as a farmer with great excitement. Mowing and baling hay were among his favorite activities, but he often spoke fondly of just being “on the farm.”

Faith was very important to Cliff, and he was active in the Knights of Columbus in Lincoln and surrounding towns.

Cliff loved family, making his own when he adopted his son Jeffrey from an orphanage in Colombia. He was also the BEST father figure to Cass, Brogan, Cameron and Liam. He was a loveable Grampy to Amelia, Oliver, Rowen and Lee and a loving Pepe to Jackson, Leah, Aubrii and Freddie. He was also a beloved great uncle to Tyrone, Megyn, Ivan and Falyn

Cliff was predeceased by his brother-in-law Roy Voisine Sr., and by his nephew Roy “Joey” Voisine Jr. The three men truly enjoyed each other’s company, and shared many years of camping, hunting, and fishing together.

Cliff is survived by his “ sweetie” of 18 years Carmen Horton of Bridgton, his sister Norma of Chester, and his son Jeffrey of Chattanooga.

A celebration of his life well lived will be held May 27 at 1 p.m., Homeland Cemetery, 73 Middle Ridge Road, Bridgton. Arrangements are under the care of Chandler Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 8 Elm Street, Bridgton. To make an online condolence please visit www.chandlerfunerals.com
