 I  had the honor and privilege of  working for Mary Dow at Mid Maine Savings. His smile and easy laugh made some days  lighter.  I remember fondly our crazy Christmas parties.  He was always willing to do whatever the committee asked of him. I think my favorite was when we did nursery rhymes. When we did Sleeping Beauty and Woody was sleeping beauty and then when they read the part about prince charming out came Marty with a burger king crown and riding a stick wooden horse. Everyone howled it was so funny and we  could  tell Woody and him enjoyed it.  He was one of a kind and will be missed by all who knew him. RIP  Marty.

In the early 1970’s I was a young, inexperienced, newly graduated attorney.  I was fortunate to be invited to practice with Bill Trafton, Damon Scales, and Jack Smith.  One of the firm’s treasured clients was Auburn Savings Bank which became Mid Maine Mutual Savings Bank.   Early on Marty Dow took this young kid on as a protege, leading me through what was expected of me as an attorney for the bank and guiding me.  As Marty and Mid Maine became one of Lewiston-Auburn’s premier commercial lenders, Marty brought me along, encouraging the development of our firm’s transactional practice which continues today, after my retirement.  Marty was respected and kind.  He was a teacher.  I am grateful.  Marty Dow made a lasting mark on our community.

Dow family extended, especially Phyllis, Rowdy and Gary,

Many fun family times along the way! Skiing, golf, backyard baseball and watching the very first 'Super Bowl' in your living room.

In later years, dad and I would play golf with Marty...lots of serious competition and laughs :-)

RIP Marty. You are a great one xxxooo,
Linda A Levesque and the Levesque family

I too worked with Marty at Mid Maine Mutual , what an awesome person. He had a great sense of humor, was kind and understanding. He did love his golf game. I will never forget the Christmas skits we used to do, especially the one where Marty dressed as a German beer lover, showing off his white skinny legs. He was always one of the stars. You will be sadly missed.




When I first started in banking as a teller with Mid Maine Savings Bank I was so very lucky to be surrounded by the best in the Auburn Great Falls Plaza.  Marty was so supportive and and his sense of humor was a welcome distraction many times.    I remember one time I was so nervous taking my first teller transactions and he came over and winked and said you are doing fine .  

My thoughts are with all of his family .  Such a wonderful man we were very blessed to work with him.

Sincerely,
Lea Lachapelle Bowen 

To Marty's family: Marty was my favorite boss of all the jobs I worked in my life. He was my boss in the loan department of Mid Maine Mutual. Seeing his obituary in the newspaper this morning brought back all the many wonderful memories I have of working with him. What a wonderful write-up. Such a wonderful tribute to him.

 I may have overused the word 'wonderful' but what better word to use to describe Marty.

Marty was instrumental in helping Joanne & me in the purchase of St Casimir Nursing Home, and an addition 10 years later.  He was caring,  always welcoming, understanding and encouraging.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.   
                                                                                                       Chuck & Joanne Cook
