Norman B. Fillmore of Clinton had just celebrated his 100th birthday 12 days earlier when he died peacefully at home on Dec. 20, 2005.

Mr. Fillmore was born on Dec. 8, 1905, in Dorchester, New Brunswick, Canada. He came to the United States in his early 20s to seek his fortune, and lived a long and happy life as a devoted father and husband.

Fillmore Jr. and his wife Joan of Austin, Texas; and his daughter Margaret B. Somerville and her husband Richard of Lake Stevens. He is also survived by a sister, May Amos of New Brunswick, Canada.
