About-Us

My name is Bruce Rozett. I am a mid-70s widower living alone in our condo. I was born in New York but grew up in Milford, Connecticut. Pam grew up in a small Massachusetts town just outside Nashua, New Hampshire.

We met while we were both working at Sanders Associates and were married less than a year later. For the next twenty-five years, we lived in southern New Hampshire, raising a family and building our careers.

I hold a degree in aeronautical engineering, but my career unfolded in the computer industry. I started in hardware design, moved into software, and eventually into product quality. Most of my working life was spent in engineering management. After a company merger ended my role, I finished my career as the network administrator for one of the largest school districts in Maine.

Pam had an eighteen-year career with JCPenney, beginning with the opening of the Salem, New Hampshire store and ending in South Portland, Maine.

After our three daughters finished college, we bought an old family farm in Maine and spent the next two decades there. Family was always at the center of our lives, and most holidays were spent together at Shaving Hill Farm.

We enjoyed western trail riding and kept two horses, along with a 120-pound Lab-Newfie mix named Bubba-Harley. I also spent time showing my 2014 Dodge Challenger—“Red Hemi”—at local car shows. I became involved in town government and was elected to three terms as a selectman. For the most part, though, we lived quietly as homebodies.

In early 2019, we bought a used motorhome and began traveling. We spent time on Prince Edward Island, in Boothbay Harbor, Maine, and in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. We especially loved Sebago Lake State Park in the off-season. By mid-2020, I had retired, and we decided to sell nearly everything and pursue life as RV nomads.

After selling Shaving Hill Farm, my tractor, and my Challenger, we left Maine for Florida in October 2020.

In mid-2021, Pam was diagnosed with dementia, later identified as Lewy Body Dementia. The diagnosis brought our travels to an end. She was very clear that she did not want to end up in a nursing home, so I became her primary caregiver.

Over the next three years, her condition steadily declined. She passed away on June 15, 2024—two days before our 52nd wedding anniversary.

After 52 years of marriage, Pam lost her battle with Lewy Body Dementia. I am still grieving that loss and learning how to live with its absence.
