Mervin Greene Obituary (1955 - 2025)

Clinton - Mervin C. Greene, Jr., 69, passed away at home on May 16th, 2025, with his wife, Dottie, by his side. Mervin was born in Waterville on May 24th, 1955. He is the son of Mervin C. Greene Sr. and Nancy M. Greene (Morrison). He attended the Fairfield schools and resided in Clinton for much of his life. He was married to Loretta R. Greene (Pelotte) until their divorce, they shared 41 years together. He remarried in 2017 to Dottie Dickinson-Greene. Mervin drove truck for several years of his employment but did spend many years working at local dairy farms in the 70’s & 80’s. He gained knowledge with heavy equipment from Vincent Thibodeau, who took him under his wing until Vincent’s tragic passing in 1995. He tried a few other jobs in junkyards, mills, tree work etc. during this time though he did not find the same happiness he found operating large equipment and machinery. After Vincent’s passing Mervin knew he was meant for trucking. He went on to work for Nevells Pallets in Sidney, where he got his endorsements to drive truck. He moved on and worked for A.W Chaffee in Clinton for several years hauling wood chips and logs to mills within the state and often Canada. When he wasn’t in the truck hauling wood, they had him working on the trucks in the shop, he enjoyed this, but his happiest place was in the “big truck.” His last place of employment was BDS, where he retired in 2015. Mervin was always tinkering in the garage. He spent a lot of time in his garage working on his pulling machine “Lil’ blue bird.” He pulled in tractor pulls in memory of his friend and brother-in-law Vincent Thibodeau. This was a hobby he spent many years doing with Rick Thibodeau, son of Vincent. He spent much of his time with Rick who he shared an incredible bond with. He eventually switched gears and started racing at Unity Raceway. He shared his love for the racetrack with family members, especially his daughter and brother-in-law Ed. Any time he could spend with his daughter he would. Sometimes it was just working on the racecars in the garage, attending antique tractor events, fishing, hunting or camping. He also had a special bond with his grandchildren. They spent many days together playing ball outside but especially loved it when they took interest in his tractors. He is pre-deceased by both his parents, daughter Ann Graf and her husband Steve Graf, mother-in-law Roberta Dickinson, sister Jane Shorey and her husband Robert Shorey, and close brothers-in-law Vincent Thibodeau and Edward Williams. Mervin is survived by his wife Dottie Dickinson-Greene; daughter Casandra “Sandy” Quirion (Greene) with her husband Brandon Quirion of Canaan and their children Brandy and Nolan; granddaughters Harley Quirion and Savana Wilson (Quirion) - daughters of Ann; great-grandson Sawyer - son of Harley; great-granddaughters Willow and Serenity - daughters of Savana; siblings Susan Clark with her husband George of Fairfield, Sharon Williams of Fairfield, James Greene with his wife Debbie of Fairfield, Hawley Greene with his wife Debbie of Waldoboro, Trudy Greene with her significant other Ron of Fairfield and Jean Morang of North New Portland; as well as many cousins, nieces and nephews.
