Armand Aubert ... made Cold War flights into Moscow

ROCHESTER - Armand J. "Rocky" Aubert, 88, of 5 Gary Drive, died Tuesday, May 1, 2018, at Frisbie Memorial Hospital. He was born October 19, 1929 in Sanford, Maine, the son of the late Fortuna and Rose (Doyon) Aubert.
He has resided in Rochester for 76 years and was general contractor for AJ Aubert & Sons. He was a member of Holy Rosary Church. Rocky served 20 years in the U.S. Air Force retiring as a tech sergeant. It's impossible to list all his accomplishments; as he would say "been there, done that."
He was a local general contractor and a world traveler. During the winter months he resided in the Philippines and most recently Thailand. In the summer months he would often be seen enjoying life raking the beach at his "Camp Sachem", the undisputed nicest spot on Mousam Lake in Shapleigh, Maine. He spent his summers at his camp since 1964 where all were welcome to enjoy boating, horseshoes, volleyball, even an 18 hole Kick & pitch golf course he made himself.
He was especially proud of his military career which included nine flights into Moscow during the "Cold war", flying the Kennedys and their families throughout Europe, and flying Senator Russel and Secretary of State Dean Rusk on many European Missions. He was on the flight that brought Gary Powers from Berlin to Frankfurt during the famous "spy trade".
He was especially proud of his certified diver card, number 5 in the world, which he still carried in his wallet. He loved hiking, camping, and gold mining.
He was a high school gymnast, Air Force ski team, Pilot, Boy Scout leader, diver. Brother, son, father, grandfather. He will be missed by all who knew him. Rest in peace.
Members of his family include his wife Linda (Sanchez) Aubert; son, Thomas Aubert; five grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; sister, Pauline Trottier; sister-in-law, Elsie Aubert; previous wife Myra Aubert. He was predeceased by sons, David and Gary Aubert; wife, Jean Aubert; brothers, Lionel and William Aubert; and sister, Blanche Camire.
