Millinocket – It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Paul A. DiCentes on Saturday, January 16, 2021 at Northern Lights EMMC Hospital, due to complications of Covid-19. He was born December 10, 1948 in Millinocket, the son of Dominic and Clara (Kidney) DiCentes.
Paul attended Millinocket schools in his early years. After the untimely death of his father, the family moved to Brownville where he graduated from Penquis Valley High School in Milo, class of 1969.
