SQUIRE RUSS MICHAEL DAGENAIS
October 14, 1975 - March 10, 2007

     Mr. Dagenais was born October 14, 1975 in Dover, New Hampshire and died March 10, 2007.

     He had planned to come to Marlin with his son Mathew Hanscom, start a family and become a real member of the community and grow old among the oaks.

     His two great passions from childhood were Red Socks Baseball and Star Wars. He said he could become a fan of Dallas or Houston except when they played Boston. He was familiar with every player, their batting averages and trades and potential new additions.

     Having played sports, he likewise pushed the Patriot and the Bruins (hockey team). He had a passion for fantasy baseball.

     He was an avid reader and his favorite author was Thomas Paine. He was an authority on arms and armor. He grew up with star wars and always thought the first episode was the best, but looks after his collection of action figures and could watch the episodes over and over. His two younger sisters were the stars of his existence.

     He served in the United States Army and his greatest pleasure was at his Grandfather and Grandmother's (Pepere and Memere) camp and sailing on the lake.

     He is survived by his father: Scott and his wife Susan Dagenais.
