PORTLAND — Ellery E. Gammon, 81, of Waterford, passed away on Monday, October 10, 2022, at Maine Medical Center.

He was born on November 26, 1940, the son of Leslie and Helena (Wentworth) Gammon. He graduated from Norway High School and went on to serve in the United States Navy and worked various jobs, his favorite being a stocker at Walmart. He married Priscilla Andrews on December 27, 1979, and together raised four children.

Ellery enjoyed hunting, fishing, riding his lawnmower, blue grass music and loved the Boston Bruins. He also enjoyed the treadmill and playing pool. He was a member of the American Legion Post 139.
