Wayne T. Lund , a resident of Miles Pond since 1951, passed away at Weeks Medical Center in
Lancaster, N.H., Saturday, Aug. 13, 2005, at the age of 75. He was born in Victory, Vt., on
Dec. 29, 1929, the son of Shirley and Doris (Harris) Lund. Wayne retired from Fairbanks Scales
in St. Johnsbury in 1992, after 42 years with the company. A devout Christian, he worshipped at
the Pleasant St. Baptist Church and was active in church affairs there. An accomplished woodworker,
his family fondly remembers all the special toys and furniture he made for them. He loved having his
hands in the soil and will be remembered for his amazing green thumb. He was a hunter and enjoyed
ice fishing and fishing for trout in quiet brooks. He shared hikes up Miles Mountain with his family in
all seasons; sometimes on a hunt and others for the pleasure of its beauty, always identifying plant
and wildlife for them. He is survived by his wife, Betty, whom he married in 1988; four children,
Joyce Marcotte and her husband Bud of Lyndonville, Dennis Lund and his wife Gail of Blue Field, W.Va.,
Robert Lund and his fianc?e Cindy Brown of Lunenburg, and Kathryn Hill and her husband James of
Groton; Betty's son, John Duquette and his wife Darlene of Bradenton, Fla.; 12 grandchildren;
11 great-grandchildren; one brother, Alton Lund and his wife Pamela of West Burke; uncles; cousins,
including Roscoe Lund and Bob Shores; brothers- and sisters-in-law; and nieces and nephews.
His sister, Ruby Priest, predeceased him July 30 of this year. Funeral services will be held in
St. Johnsbury this Wednesday at 10 a.m. at the Pleasant St. Baptist Church with the Rev.
Larry McElhenney officiating. Burial will follow at the Grove Cemetery in East St. Johnsbury.
Visiting hours will he held at the Sayles Funeral Home Tuesday evening from 6-8 p.m.
For those wishing to send flowers or a memorial contribution, Wayne's family would prefer
consideration be given to his church: Pleasant St. Baptist Church, 193 Pleasant St., St. Johnsbury, VT 05819.
