Samuel Prentiss Hull, Jr., beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend, died on June 12, 2025 after a brief illness, at Maine Medical Center in Portland, at the age of ninety and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Sam was born in Rocky Hill, CT on September 14th,1934 to Samuel Prentiss Hull and Hazel Woodman Hull. He was a graduate of Grafton (MA) High School, Williston Academy, Dartmouth College, and University of Connecticut (MBA).
Sam married Nancy Fryer Williams in 1956 and moved to Liberal, Kansas where he worked for the Panhandle Eastern Oil Company as a petroleum field geologist. Together they had three wonderful sons. Sam spent the 1960s working for the Mobil Oil Corporation in New York, St. Louis, and Casper, WY. In 1969, he moved with his family to Hong Kong, then a British Crown colony, where he worked for Burns and Roe. In Hong Kong, he joined both the American Club and the Foreign Correspondents Club, where he remained a member for 30 years.
Sam continued with power project development at Chas T Main, Dravo and Gibbs and Hill, travelling widely throughout Asia and the Pacific rim, the Middle East, and the Horn of Africa, and eventually developing his own company, PowerTec.
In the early 1990s, seeking work closer to friends and family, Sam left behind international travel and began a new career as a Certified Financial Planner and founded Northstar Financial Planning where he helped many navigate the complexities of life and finance. At 76 years old Sam, ever learning, exploring, and growing, became a Life Coach
In 1986, Sam married Joan Rosalie Stygles on the Schooner Adventure in Camden ME, a partnership that would inspire many adventures. Together, they made their home in New York City before moving to Bedford, NH, where they began wonderful traditions of Magical family Christmas Eve celebrations and annual Cousin Camp adventures for their grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. They moved to Arundel in 2007, and Sam soon became deeply involved in his new adopted home where he made many new friends of all ages. Sam’s marriage to Joan also brought him into the Stygles family, where he was welcomed by her parents and five sisters and their husbands.
Sam was a lifelong lover of sailing, skiing, running (member of the Boston Barley Hoppers), cycling (served as president of the Charles River Wheelmen), and outdoor adventure. At 79 years-old, he discovered another passion-long-distance walking. He and Joan completed walks of hundreds of miles in England and Italy; in Spain, they walked the Camino de Santiago, the ancient pilgrim trail. To commemorate that achievement, Sam got his first tattoo, the traditional scallop shell that is a symbol of the pilgrimage. He served on the American Pilgrims on the Camino Board of Directors and inspired many to set out on their own Camino journey. At the time of his death, he and Joan were planning another trek in England.
Sam believed in giving back and was an active member of the community. He served on the Kennebunk Free Library Board of Directors, Arundel Economic Development Committee, and Sam was one of the founders and Directors of the Arundel Conservation Trust, building community through conservation.
Sam continued to live life to the fullest, mentoring, and inspiring others, celebrating his 90th birthday surrounded by family and friends, where he shared his poem “Don’t Let the Old Man In” and the wise words:
“… And dear friends, both old and new, remind me that saying “Yes!” to life, Usually yields to fresh viewpoints and new adventures ahead.”
In addition to his loving wife Joan, Sam is survived by a sister, Elizabeth Hume of Walnut Creek, CA; by his three sons and their spouses, Stephen Prentiss Hull (Ania Prawdzik) of Albuquerque, NM, John Andrew Hull (Susan Braden) of Branford, CT, and Matthew Williams Hull (Tanya Fagaly) of St Louis, MO; by his four grandchildren, Justin Hull (Jess Nadel) and Charles Hull of New York City, and Daphne and Colin Hull of St. Louis; and by his three great-grandchildren, Rowan, Shoshana, and Julia Hull of New York City and his many loving nieces and nephews. Besides his family and extended family, he will be dearly missed by his many friends of all ages near and far, and by Clancy, his six-year-old Golden Retriever.
There will be a celebration of Sam’s life held on Sunday, August 17, 2025 from 2:00PM – 4:30PM at the Kennebunkport Conservation Trust, 57 Gravelly Brook Road, Kennebunkport, ME.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations may be sent to the Arundel Conservation Trust at arundeltrust.org or the American Friends on the Camino at americanpilgrims.org

Born February 23, 1948 in Rochester, NY, to Dr. Thomas Crowe and Frances Crowe (nee Hyde), where his father was in residency in radiology at Strong Memorial Hospital. His father had previously served as a doctor in the US Army during WWII.
The family moved to Hartford, CT where it was discovered that Jarlath was deaf. His parents decided that Jarlath would be trained in the oral method with the residual hearing that he had. His mother, Frances, took a course at the John Tracy Clinic in California to train Jarlath, having taken his sister and grandmother along for the ride in a Douglas DC-4 propeller plane.

He attended RIT in Rochester, NY, where they had a new program: NTID (National Technical Institute for the Deaf). He earned an associate degree in Biology and a degree in social sciences.
He was an avid fisherman and liked to tie fishing flies. He loved to fish off the Cape Cod canal with friends. His other great love was skiing, having been a proud member of the Deaf Olympic team and skied for USA in college.
He worked for the US Fish & Wildlife Service for 30 years, at fish hatcheries in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. His son Patrick was born in 1981 and Jarlath raised Patrick as a single father until 1993.
In 1993 he married Rebecca Wathen-Dunn and they lived in Sheffield, MA, briefly before moving to Foxboro, MA. He loved hiking with Rebecca and their dog Nina at the nearby F. Gilbert Mills State Forest. After 28 years in Foxboro, they moved to Berlin, MA in 2022.
Jarlath is survived by his wife of 32 years, Rebecca Wathen-Dunn; his son Patrick and two grandchildren in California; step-son Ian Baker in Virginia; his sister Caltha of Colorado; brother Tom in Oregon; and many nieces and nephews.

Jean Young Harrison, aged 91, passed away on April 14th, 2026, following complications from a fall. A resident since 2021 of The Bridges at Warwick in Jamison, Pa., and a longtime former resident of Washington D.C., she was married for 47 years to Earl G. Harrison, Jr., who died in 2003. She is survived by Dana and Stephanie Harrison, their children Abigail and Niko Harrison, and by Colin and Kathryn Harrison and their children Sarah, Walker, and Julia Harrison. She is also survived by her late sister Katherine McCaw’s four children, Bill McCaw, Alleyne Coleman, Kelly Greiner, and Mary McCaw and their large extended families.
Born Jean Spencer Young on December 4, 1934, in Dallas, Texas, she grew up in Texas, in New Orleans, and Massachusetts. In the summers, she enjoyed camps in the Northeast, where she canoed and sailed. A graduate of the Northampton School for Girls, she matriculated to Bryn Mawr College, where she earned a B.A. in philosophy in 1956. She later earned an M.A. in theater arts at Villanova University.
Jean Harrison’s greatest interest was in theater, and she passionately pursued this vocation in professional off-Broadway roles in New York City, in regional and summer stock productions in the Northeast, and in Philadelphia, where she was a co-founder in 1974 of The Philadelphia Company (now known as The Philadelphia Theatre Company), a troupe that put on plays ranging from Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” to new plays by rising playwrights. She also directed and played roles in Philadelphia Company productions, at the Hedgerow Theater in Rose Valley, Pa., and at Westtown School, where her husband was the headmaster. In her later years she played in productions in Washington, D.C., including in the Kennedy Center, and Baltimore, and served as a private voice coach.
Jean Harrison’s life was marked by her long participation in the theatrical community. She spent decades acting, directing, and raising money for theater organizations. She was known for her graciousness and generosity, her ability to laugh (often at herself), and her wide interest in culture. Her sons enjoyed teasing her and she put up with this with patience and humor. With her late husband, Earl Harrison, she travelled to China, the Middle East, Europe, and Latin America. She also took each of her granddaughters—Sarah, Abigail, and Julia Harrison—on separate trips to England. Hers was a life well lived, and she will be missed.

Clifford L. Selbert, a pioneering force in environmental graphic design and placemaking who co-founded Selbert Perkins Design, passed away peacefully on March 19, 2026, at the age of 72, after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Born October 9, 1953, in Amsterdam, New York, Cliff studied landscape architecture at the Rhode Island School of Design. He began developing the multidisciplinary approach that would define his life’s work, with his early interests expanding beyond landscape architecture into graphic design, product design, and environmental communications—fields he would ultimately bring together into a new and influential design discipline.
More than 40 years ago, Cliff founded a small studio driven by a belief in the power of design to shape human experience. That studio evolved into Selbert Perkins Design, an internationally recognized firm with studios in Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, and Shanghai. Alongside his wife and creative partner, Robin Perkins, he helped grow the practice into a global leader in branding, signage and wayfinding, placemaking, and experiential design.
Central to Cliff’s work was a guiding philosophy he and his firm championed: “Every place has a story. Every story has a place.” This belief reflected a deep commitment to the public realm and to the communities it serves. Cliff was passionate about creating meaningful, inclusive environments—places where people could connect not only with space, but with each other. His work consistently reflected a respect for context, culture, and human experience, transforming everyday environments into places of identity and belonging.
Cliff was widely regarded as one of the defining voices in environmental graphic design. He bridged disciplines—uniting graphic design, architecture, landscape, branding, and storytelling to create memorable and impactful places. His projects spanned civic, transit, healthcare, education, and commercial environments across the world, always guided by the belief that design should do more than inform—it should inspire, orient, and make people smile. Cliff‘s vision and influence can be seen in the work of Selbert Perkins Design around the world, including the LAX Gateway, Universal Studios, the World of Coca-Cola, and Canal City in Hakata, Japan.
Over the course of his distinguished career, Cliff received numerous design awards and professional honors recognizing both his creative vision and his lasting impact on the field. A Fellow of the Society for Experiential Graphic Design (SEGD), he was among the most respected leaders in his discipline. His work and leadership were celebrated by industry organizations, academic institutions, and peers alike, including recognition from his alma mater with the Business of Design Award. Cliff consistently emphasized a collaborative team approach, placing the highest value on mentorship, partnership, and the shared success of those around him.
Beyond his professional achievements, Cliff built something even more enduring: a culture and a community. He believed deeply in empowering others—encouraging freedom of expression, bold thinking, collaboration, and integrity in design. Under his leadership, generations of designers were given the space to experiment, grow, and contribute meaningfully. His influence lives on not only in the built environment, but in the people he mentored and inspired.
To those closest to him, Cliff was more than a visionary—he was a devoted husband, father, partner, and friend. He shared a life and creative partnership with his wife, Robin Perkins, and was a proud father to their daughter, Galen Selbert-Perkins.
He also leaves behind a large and loving extended family, along with an extraordinary network of friends, colleagues, and collaborators across the globe. Cliff had a rare ability to connect with people—forming lasting relationships that often extended far beyond the workplace. His warmth, generosity, curiosity, and sense of humor created deep and enduring bonds with all who knew him.
Clifford Selbert’s legacy is both tangible and deeply human—seen in the landmarks he helped shape, the discipline he helped define, and the community he built. His work changed how people experience the world—and his spirit will continue to guide those who carry that work forward.
He is survived by his wife, Robin Perkins; his daughter, Galen Selbert-Perkins; his extended family; and a global community of friends, colleagues, and collaborators whose lives he profoundly touched.

Ann N. Hoyt, 88, of Chillicothe, Ohio, died peacefully on Saturday, March 28, 2026, at her residence following an extended illness, holding hands with her loving and supportive children. She was preceded in death by her husband of 53 years, Joseph Nelson White Hoyt, who died March 20, 2014.
Ann was born May 26, 1937, in Essex Fells, New Jersey, to the late Charles Peter August and Frances Price Nelson. She met her husband at horse shows along the East Coast. Their shared passion for animals, particularly the Morgan horse, led Joe Hoyt, in less than one year, to convince Ann to marry him and move to Chillicothe, Ohio. She spent the next 65 years at Glenallan Farm, which held a special place in her heart where she found great joy caring for her animals and tending her gardens.
Ann is survived by her daughter, Betsy (Kevin) Hackett of Dublin, Ohio; sons Nelson Hoyt of Rocky River, Ohio, and Peter (Kate) Hoyt of Chillicothe, Ohio; step-sons Eric Hoyt and Cash Hoyt; dear friends Elinor Miller ’55, Beansie Cronin, Sharon Williamson, and Jan Fortney; and her beloved grandchildren Kate (Rahul) Hackett Sud of Atlanta, Georgia; Joe (Emily Bain) Hackett of New York, New York; Ellie (Andrew MacNeil) Hackett of Gainesville, Florida; Sam Hackett of New York, New York; Jack Hoyt of Chillicothe, Ohio; and PJ (Lexi Betts) Hoyt of Chillicothe, Ohio.
She was a graduate of Northampton School for Girls and St. Lawrence University. Ann was a former member of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Chillicothe and a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). A spirited and feisty woman, she was never afraid to share her opinion. She deeply loved her family and was always there when they needed her. Ann loved to travel, especially visiting the family home in New Hampshire. She cherished her time with friends. She will be remembered for her devotion to family, her strength, the kindness she showed others, and her deep love of animals and gardening.
A celebration of Ann’s life will be held at a later date, as Ann requested, at her beloved Glenallan Farm. Arrangements are under the direction of Ware Funeral Home.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions to the Ross County Humane Society, 2308A Lick Run Road, Chillicothe, Ohio 45601.
The family extends heartfelt gratitude to Adena Hospice and her devoted caregivers Tina, Gwen, Sarilda, Debbie and others for their compassionate care.
“To live in hearts you leave behind is not to die.”
Dr. Albert Frederick (Fred) Wood passed away at his home in Larkspur at the age of 87, surrounded by his loving family.
Fred was born on June 7, 1938, in Amherst, Massachusetts. He attended Williston Academy, Amherst College, and Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia, where he met and married the love of his life, Carolyn, an operating room nurse.
After graduating from medical school in 1963, Fred completed his internship in the U.S. Air Force at Travis Air Force Base. His service then took him to San Antonio and Abilene, Texas, for flight surgeon training. During the Vietnam War, Fred was stationed at Takhli Air Force Base in Thailand, where he cared for fellow service members as well as members of the local community through a clinic established by base physicians. His time in the Air Force–and especially in Thailand–sparked a lifelong love of adventure and travel.
Following his military service, Fred completed a residency in urology at the University of California Medical Center in San Francisco. While at UCSF, he fell in love with Marin County, particularly Larkspur. In 1971, after completing his residency, Fred joined a private urology practice in San Francisco. Alongside a busy general practice, he helped establish the Davies Rehabilitation Center, specializing in urologic care for patients with spinal cord injuries. Fred served on the medical staff of several Bay Area hospitals, including Davies and St. Mary’s, and retired in 1998 after 27 years of dedicated practice.
In retirement, Fred embraced life with curiosity and enthusiasm. He enjoyed tennis, golf, and taking countless classes at the local community college. He and Carolyn spent much time at their home in Maui and delighted in “grandparent trips” with their grandchildren. An avid traveler married to a birdwatcher, Fred explored Europe, Africa, Central and South America, New Zealand, and Alaska. Among his most cherished adventures were trips to Kenya and Tanzania with his brother Roger, a turtle paleontologist, including a memorable stay at Richard Leakey’s research camp. Fred and Carolyn also participated in numerous surgical missions to Antigua, Guatemala, where they formed a lasting connection with a local orphanage they generously supported alongside many others in the Marin community.
A lifelong learner, Fred approached everything he did with energy and curiosity. He found joy in camping, backpacking, canoeing, sailing, windsurfing, and coaching his children’s soccer teams. Known for his warmth, humor, and zest for life, Fred will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
He is survived by his beloved wife of 63 years, Carolyn; his daughter Jennifer Synold and son-in-law Tim, and their daughters Taylor, Kelly, and Jessica; his daughter Angela and grandson Spencer; his son Tim and daughter-in-law Mindy, and their sons Cameron, Lucas, and Tyler; his brother Roger ’58 and his wife Gary; and his brother Dan ’65 and his wife Toni.
A celebration of life will be held at Acqua Hotel in Mill Valley on April 11th at 1:00 pm. RSVP tfw@gsienv.com.

George A. Shaler, 63, passed away after a stroke on March 21, 2026, at a Portland Hospital, with his family at his side. George was born on July 18, 1962, in Northampton, Mass., of the late Janet (James) and George Shaler Sr.
George’s childhood was unconventional and exploratory – a prelude to a life spent bucking conventions and seeking to learn more about the world and the people in it. George’s dad, Al, was a teacher at The Williston Northampton School in Easthampton, Massachusetts. When George’s mom, Janet, passed away far too young, his school community helped Al raise him along with siblings Jim and Elizabeth. His summers in the woods on Kelm Lake and time on campus and at Hamilton College – including communal meals, ultimate frisbee games, a never-ending parade of interesting people, and Grateful Dead shows – were formative influences. A committed introvert, after college he solo hiked the entire Appalachian trail, particularly relishing the 100-Mile Wilderness for its steady supply of swimming holes. He fittingly chose “Curious George” as his trail name.
George carried that curiosity with him for the rest of his life. He asked excellent questions and prided himself on deep listening and remembering details about people. He didn’t particularly want to talk about himself, but he’d talk all day long about you, your family, your pets, sports trades, and local elections. And he remained literally and figuratively a trail blazer — carving his own path, enjoying nature to its fullest whether on foot, bike or cross-country skis, and painting trail markers as a volunteer trail maintainer. He brought quiet commitment and leadership to issues he cared about deeply, including justice policy and public health. Among his professional passions, he guided efforts to implement school-based health centers while at the Catherine Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy at the University of Southern Maine and in various roles in West Virginia. He had a knack for connecting with children and mentoring young adults. He served as a board member and president at both the Justice Information Research Network and The Children’s Center, where he served on the board for more than 20 years.
George gave endless gifts of service and encouragement (and dad jokes) to his spouse, children and cats. Jill was his equal partner in all things – travel, outdoor adventures, and family decisions. Jill knew from their first date that he would loyally care for her, challenge her, and be an ally as they navigated life. He had never-ending pride in Jonna and Shay, whose academic, athletic, service, travel, and social endeavors brought him joy and fulfillment. He was an avid reader, trivia sage, music lover, devil’s advocate, and sports fan, particularly the UNC Tar Heels from his graduate school alma mater and all Boston teams. His comfort in his own skin served as a model and inspiration. He leaves us far too soon.
George is survived by his wife of nearly 30 years, Jill Rosenthal; children, Jonna and Shay Rosenthal; siblings and in-laws, James ’81 and his wife Ann Shaler, Elizabeth Shaler dos Santos ’84, Cheryl Rosenthal and her husband Ed Blum, and Dan and his wife Julie Rosenthal; nieces and nephews, Olwen and Griff Shaler, Wallace dos Santos, and Ben and Anna Rosenthal, and other extended family members.
A Memorial Service will be held at 3pm on Sunday, March 29, 2026, at Congregation Bet Ha’am, 81 Westbrook St., South Portland, ME 04106. Arrangements are under the direction of Conroy-Tully Walker Cremation, Funeral & Gathering Center, 300 Allen Ave. Portland, ME.
In lieu of flowers donations may be made in George’s memory to The Children’s Center, 721 Stevens Avenue Portland, Maine 04103; Maine Women’s Lobby, 1 Weston Court Suite 203A, Augusta, Maine 04330; or the Eastern Trail Alliance, PO Box 250, Saco, ME 04072.
