Commercial Fisherman Dana Blanchard Rice., of Birch Harbor, Maine, has passed away
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Dana Blanchard Rice Sr., 77, of Birch Harbor, Maine, who passed away peacefully in Bangor on April 9, 2025, surrounded by his family. Dana was born May 26, 1947, in Bar Harbor, Maine. The fisherman was raised by his grandparents in the shingled house his great-great-grandfather built in Birch Harbor. He always considered himself fortunate to have been raised by his grandparents, absorbing the values of an earlier generation. It is those values that he always credited for making him the man he was. Coming from a long line of fishermen, Dana started in the industry at age 3 or 4 by helping to tend a herring weir at Jonesport. It was there that he fell in love with the sardine boats and the fishery, one that lasted a lifetime. more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 10:14
