PORTLAND – Dr. Donald W. Verrier, 81, of Alpine Rd., Passed away peacefully on June 9, 2021 in Bay Square in Yarmouth. He was born on April 10, 1940, the second child of the late Conrad and Alice Verrier (Lemieux).
In his youth he worked as a clerk at his father’s and grandfather’s store at Goose Rocks Beach in Kennebunkport before graduating from St. Louis. Louis High School in Biddeford. After studying at the college of St. Michaels in Vermont, he went on to complete a dental degree from Georgetown University School of Dental Medicine in 1965. Shortly afterwards he was commissioned into the United States Army as a captain in the Dental Corps during the Vietnam conflict and was turned station in Schwaebisch Gmund Germany where he met his future wife, Sieglinde “Sigi”, whom he married on December 8, 1968.
Upon his return to the United States, he began his private practice in dentistry, later building and establishing the Portland Dental Health Care Center in 1978. A fully professional, accomplished Dr. Don has a lot of fellowship within the profession and has built a strong reputation, is liked and respected by his employees, peers, patients and friends, all of whom I will miss him. After 48 years in dentistry, Dr. retired. Don in 2013 to spend his last year traveling extensively, and, yes, missing dentistry.
Dr. Don will always be remembered for his relentless work ethic, biting humor, love for his family and his secret generosity to others, friends or strangers, it makes no difference. His advice and support has touched countless lives and will spawn many generations beyond his passing.
