Norridgewock – Joseph Donald Cloutier, 83, passed away peacefully on Friday, November 28, 2025, with his devoted wife Susan of 55 years, by his side. Born in Madison on March 12, 1942, Joseph was the son of Clarence and Shirely (Brown) Cloutier. Joseph attended Skowhegan High School and later earned his GED through the United States Air Force.

He was a man who loved the outdoors, enjoying fishing, hunting, and camping. Above all, Joseph was a family man – a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. His devotion to his family was unwavering. Joseph is survived by his beloved wife, Susan (Brown) Cloutier; sons Timothy French, Randy French, Mark Cloutier, Raymond Cloutier, and Todd McCain; daughter Rebecca Stubbs and her husband, Merle II; and his sister Linda.
