Governor Mills Directs Flags Lowered in Honor of Representative Arthur "Archie" Verow

Governor Janet Mills directed that the United States and State of Maine flags be flown at half-staff this Monday, December 30, 2019 at the State Capitol and in the City of Brewer in honor of former State Representative Archie Verow. Services will be held on Monday, December 30 at 11:00am at St. Paul the Apostle Parish, St. John's Catholic Church in Bangor. A reception will follow at the parish center.

"The State of Maine has lost a cherished friend and a deeply devoted citizen who spent his life in service to his neighbors," said Governor Mills. As we mourn the loss of Representative Verow, we remember his commitment to community, we honor his tireless advocacy for children and seniors, and we love, as he did, the people of Maine with humor and humility. My thoughts and prayers are with Archies family and friends, the people of Brewer, and his colleagues in the Legislature during this difficult time. He will be dearly missed.
