Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator Susan Collins issued this statement on the passing of Peter Alfond, a philanthropist and Waterville native:
“Like his father, Peter Alfond was an extraordinarily generous individual who gave back so much to Maine. Peter dedicated his life to improving the wellbeing of others through his support of education, health care, and other laudable causes. His vision and goodwill for our state have left a rich and lasting legacy. Although Peter will be deeply missed, his passion, altruism, and dedication to the people of Maine will never be forgotten.”
