Dana Bradley Aaskov

WESTBROOK – On Sunday, May 2, 2021, Dana Bradley Aaskov, loving husband and father of two, passed away peacefully at the age of 85 surrounded by his loving family. Dana was born on Aug. 12, 1935, in Portland, Maine, to Marion and Philip Aaskov.

He attended Portland schools and after graduating from high school in 1953, he went to work for Richard P. Waltz and Sons.

In December of 1956, Dana married Winnifred Gallagher and had two sons. He then earned his Master Plumbers License; and in 1964, Dana started his own company, Aaskov Plumbing and Heating, Co., now located at 900 Riverside Street, Portland, Maine, which is still operational today and managed by his granddaughter, Morgan Aaskov.

Eventually, the family moved from Portland to Mineral Springs in Windham where they enjoyed boating, fishing, and other water activities on Big Sebago Lake.

He also enjoyed traveling with his family. Dana retired in 1990 and thereafter spent his winters tracking down all the early bird specials in Florida where he also enjoyed boating and spending time with his many friends. Summers were always back home in Maine. He’s remembered for his love of his family and masterful storytelling.

Dana was predeceased by his wife, Winnifred, his mother, Marion, his father, Philip, and his brother, Gary.

He is survived by his longtime companion, Lois Lalonde and her daughters, Michelle, Kim and her husband, Jon; Dana’s sons, Alan and his wife Robin and Brian and his longtime companion Ruth Reglin; grandchildren, Alyssa, Ashley, Morgan, and Arianna; great-grandchild, Addison, along with other nieces and nephews.
