York Police Chief Charles J. Szeniawski said Scamman was dedicated to his job.
“He served very well,” Szeniawski said. “He did an awful lot for the town and the PD.”
York Police Sergeant Brian Curtin said Wednesday that Scamman had a positive impact in the community.
“He touched a lot of lives,” Curtin said. “In my eyes, he left a great legacy in the community. A lot of people have come forward to say how much of a positive impact he had on their lives. He worked really hard. He was really living life. It was cut too short.”
The lieutenant retired on Nov. 22, 2017, after nearly 40 years on the job.
Mr. Scamman lived in Casco with his wife, Elaine. The couple celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary in March.
His wife laughed and cried Wednesday sharing memories of their life together. She said it was a second marriage for both. They knew each other as teenagers and reconnected in their late thirties.
“He always told the story about how he always liked me and wanted to date me, but I wouldn’t give him the time of day,” his wife said, noting it wasn’t true. “He never talked to me,” she said laughing.
