His father introduced him to a love of ocean fishing on Long Island, a passion he took with him when his family relocated to Vermont. He spent thousands of hours on rivers big and small, seeking out the best bass and walleye, often before dawn. He spent thousands more hours traipsing through forests hunting turkey and deer, studying mushrooms, trees, and the natural world around him. In addition to hunting and fishing, Ben loved gardening. He understood plants deeply, and his vegetables were legendary. He created complex compost systems and engineered watering for his home garden that, while postage stamp in size, was extremely productive. He loved his partner of over 13 years, Liz Forbush. They spent most of their time together. He loved watching football, and caring for his pets. Ben struggled for many years with heroin addiction.

• Henry “Hank” Hellus Jr., 85, of West Dummerston. Died Jan. 24, 2022, in the comfort of his home, with his wife, Linda. Hank's adult life was his family farm of 60 years and a 42-year railroad career - first with Central Vermont Railroad and then as a conductor with Amtrak. It was said local law enforcement in the many small towns along the route of Amtrak's Montrealer knew Hank on a first name basis. As an Amtrak conductor, he was responsible for the train's operation, safety, and comfort of its riders. Pity the poor passenger that crossed “Hank's Rules” for conduct on the train because, at the next stop, local law enforcement usually escorted the offending individual/individuals off the train to continue their journey by other means. Henry and Linda raised their four children by simple rules of working hard, being honest, and being accountable for what you say and do. Lastly, he would say, “Use your head and your common sense.” Hank's personality, whether meeting him for the first time or the 100th time, would be memorable. He was known to speak his mind, with no filters and no mystery. He loved his wife, his children, his small town, and his country. Hank leaves behind his wife of 65 years, Linda Whitman Hellus, eldest son Stephen and his wife, Marilyn; second son Chip and his wife, Carleen; third son David and his wife, Ellen; and their youngest child, daughter Kate and her husband, John Rabideau. He is also survived by eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Memorial information: Although Hank wanted a low-profile passing, his family says that he was respected and loved by more people than he knew and he has now punched his last ticket to eternity.

• Douglas Wayne Newton, 74, of Barre Town. Died Jan. 14, 2022 at UVM Medical Center in Burlington with his loving family by his side. He was born Nov. 1, 1947 in Barre to Wayne and Gloria (Tew) Newton. While a senior at Spaulding High School, Doug met the love of his life, Leslie Chase. Married for 52 years, chances are, if you saw one of them, you saw the other close by. Doug and Leslie made an incredible team and built an amazing life and family together, raising two sons, Jeff and Scott. Doug graduated from Vermont Technical College in in 1968 and served in the Naval Reserve in their Construction Battalion (SeaBees). He was honorably discharged in 1978. Also in 1968, Doug began his long career with the Vermont Agency of Transportation, where he was assigned to the Construction Division for Materials & Concrete as a civil engineering technician. In 1971, he transferred to construction, where he remained working as a technician until 1981. Soon after, he accepted a technical position with Buildings and General Services. In 1983 he returned to AOT, designing bridges in the winter and then going out as a resident engineer to build the project in the summer. The knowledge he gained from designing projects and then applying the design in the fields clearly enabled him to see the value of both sides of project development. In 1999, he accepted the District Technician position, assigned to District 7 in St. Johnsbury. He took the time to show folks how to survey, answered their questions, and in turn valued their input. In less than eight months, he transferred to District 6 in Berlin, in the same capacity. Throughout the years, Doug gained the reputation as the go-to-guy and continued to be called upon for his knowledge, expertise, opinions, and vast resource base from people inside and outside the agency. He was recognized by his co-workers and supervisors alike as being an extremely dedicated public servant with a superior work ethic. His common-sense approach enabled him to develop strong relationships, and his expertise and broad knowledge, along with Doug's keen sense of humor and demeanor, will be missed by all. When he retired in 2009, Doug founded Newton Technical Services, continuing to help smaller towns in his AOT districts that needed survey, grant, design and project-management assistance, and was still actively working on multiple projects at the time of his death. Like before, people would pick his brain and always wanted to know his opinion on how to get a project done. In his spare time, Doug was a real outdoor and sports enthusiast. In recent years, Doug especially took to his new role as “Papa,” adoring every minute he spent with his granddaughter, Hayley. Doug was also Past Master of the Granite Masonic Lodge #35, F. & A. M., and a member of the Square and Compass Club, both of Barre. Doug is survived by his beloved wife. Leslie; sons Jeffrey Newton (partner Shelley) of Barre Town, and Scott Newton (wife Jennifer) and granddaughter Hayley Newton, of Huntersville, N.C.; brothers Richard Newton (partner Lily) of Chandler, Ariz., Deane Newton of Brattleboro, Brian Newton (wife Margie) of Randolph Center, and Stanley Carroll (wife Mary) of Essex Junction. Doug also leaves behind a host of friends and colleagues whom he deeply valued and respected. In addition to his parents, Doug was predeceased by his brother, Norman Newton and his niece, Kristen Newton. Memorial information: The family plans to hold a celebration to honor Doug's life at a later date.
