NORWAY — Robert W. Harmon, 43, died August 18, 2012 from an accident in his home. He was born September 6, 1968 in Oakland, CA, the son of Arthur R. and Tamara (Reusswig) Harmon. He graduated from Scarborough High School in 1988. He also attended USM and SMTC. He was preparing to take his Pharmacy Technician Certification very soon.

In 2001, he married Aurora A. Witham. They took a week-long honeymoon cruise around the Hawaiian Islands. They made their home in Norway.

He enjoyed hunting and fishing or basically any outdoor activity. He was an avid war buff and could cite many historical events. The Civil War was one of his favorites to study. He also did much celestial research and always observed the latest activity; for example, the meteorite display a week ago. He was a collector of model cars and had a rather large collection. He had a wonderful sense of humor and liked listening to others stories.

Mr. Harmon is survived by his wife and her family as well as his parents; a loving sister, Kristine; his grandmother, Virginia Harmon; Aunt Janet and Uncle Arthur, Uncle Ken and Aunt Karen and Uncle Bryan; several cousins and his constant companion, Chelsea, his English Springer Spaniel.
