Clifford E. Larrabee, 89, of North Waterboro, died Tuesday, June 5.
He was born to the late Ernest and Ina Belle Peables Larrabee, June 17, 1922, in Springfield, Mass. Cliff graduated from Edward Little High School in 1939, received his bachelor's degree in chemistry from Bates College in 1944 and his Ph.D. in organic chemistry from the University of Rochester in 1948. He married the late Carolyn Towle in 1945.
Cliff worked as a chemist for Pfizer Inc. for most of his professional career. His true passion and what he will be most remembered for was coaching the young and the young at heart. He began as a New London, Conn., YMCA assistant swim coach in 1961, and was coaching at the Sanford YMCA up until last week. He and his athletes won numerous awards over a 50-year time span, but what he loved most was helping each person achieve a personal best.
