<div><span style="font-family:inherit;color:inherit;">We are grieved to report that Brother Donald Paul Martel, of the Friars of Bucksport, died in his car on Tuesday, October 31st. On Wednesday, November 1st Brother Kenneth issued a missing person report with the Bucksport Police Department. Later in the afternoon, the police sergeant came to the friary kitchen door to deliver the news that Brother Donald was found dead in his car at the Jacob Buck Pond Boat Launch.</span>

<div>We friends of the Friars are forming this fundraiser for the Friars' support, following Brother Don's passing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In Brother Kenneth's words:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"We thank all of our patrons and friends who have supported our endeavors over the years.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"The stark reality is that...now that the taproom is closed our income has ended with it. We really could use your assistance. If anyone could commit to making a monthly contribution in any amount to help support Brother Kenneth and Brother Stephen it would be greatly appreciated."
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you in advance for your support of these faithful members of our community, and for remembering and honoring Brother Donald in this way.
