Orin Delmar “Del” Fogg, 88, of Orrington, Maine, passed away on February 12, 2015 at a Bangor hospital surrounded by his family. He was born in South Portland on January 13, 1927, the son of Elton Darling Fogg and Lulu Idella (Campbell) Fogg.

Del attended Bangor schools and was a graduate of Bangor High School, class of 1944, and Husson College, Bangor, in 1948.

Mr. Fogg served as a Fireman First Class and Electrician’s Mate in the US Navy in World War II, serving on the USS Otus in the Leyte Gulf, and during the Korean Conflict on the USS Delta. He earned the World War II Victory Metal, the American Area Theatre Metal, the Asiatic Pacific Theatre Medal, and the Good Conduct Ribbon during his eight years of naval service.

It was a favorite pastime of his in recent years to share stories of his Navy days with anyone who would listen. A special memory of his was his trip to the newly-constructed World War II Memorial in Washington DC on the first veteran’s Honor Flight from Maine in October of 2005.

He was a member of the State and National Grange, the Rising Virtue Lodge #10 F&AM of Bangor, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

Del will be remembered for his ability to fix anything and doing things his way. He was a train enthusiast who was especially fond of steam locomotives, loved Christmas lighting and decorations, and was a devoted grandfather.

Among surviving family members are his daughter and son-in-law, Lisa and Alan Hanscom of Andover and their children, Megan Nicole and Erin Rachel Hanscom.

A funeral service was held on February 16 at the Brewer Chapel of Brookings-Smith in Brewer, Maine. The family invited relatives and friends to share conversation and refreshments in the Brookings-Smith reception rooms immediately following the service. Interment with military honors will be held in the spring at Mount Hope Cemetery, Bangor.

Those who wish to remember Del in a special way may make gifts in his memory to New England Steam Corporation, PO Box 302, Winterport, Maine 04496. Condolences to the family may be expressed at BrookingsSmith.com.
