CHELSEA -- Gerald F. Acheson, age 85, of Togus Road, died Wednesday, May 3, 2006, at the Togus Veterans Affairs Hospital, Chelsea, following a long illness.

He was born in Lewiston on Aug. 19, 1920, a son of the late Edward Acheson and Marie (Thomas) Acheson.

Mr. Acheson served honorably as a Corporal in the Army Air Corps during World War II.

Gerald had his own sheet metal shop for many years. Not long after his marriage to his second wife, Joyce (St. Pierre) Acheson, they bought land on Eagle Lake where he built them a retirement home which they enjoyed for almost 20 years. They spent many days fishing from the boat he built.

He was a kind and gentle man, always ready to help others. He was a very devout Catholic and was a 4th Degree Knight of Columbus. He loved going to Mass at the Togus Chapel on Sundays and often during the week.

Gerald was also an avid gardener.
