Someone on the Cumberland ME mailing list provided me with the info from the newspaper. He was killed by a falling steel beam which hit him in the chest, and he died shortly after arriving at the hospital. I was never able to determine the relationship of the writer of the poem to him, but I suspect that it was a girl friend.
