James Ellis Hoover, “Cebe”, 73, of Heather Lane in Biddeford, Maine, died of a heart attack on October 23, 2018. He leaves his beloved wife of 41 years, Susan J. Amons, and brothers Peter, David (Kathy), Robert (Karin), and 7 nieces and nephews. His parents, Jack and Mary “Polly” Hoover, lived in Newton, Massachusetts.
Cebe graduated from the University of Massachusetts.
He served two tours of duty as a Recon Sergeant with the 6/32nd Artillery, 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team in the central highlands of Vietnam from 1967 to 1969. As a Forward Observer, he was sought out to accompany US Special Forces and other units on combat operations. He was awarded the Vietnam Service Medal, the Vietnam Campaign Medal, and the Bronze Star Medal.
Cebe was a highly regarded master carpenter who created beautiful interiors in Maine homes under the name “Cebe Construction Co.” He worked previously in Kennebunkport as a boat builder, a commercial fisherman, and a lobsterman.
Cebe was a disciplined craftsman with a strong work ethic who passionately enjoyed the high life. An avid sportsman, he loved horse racing, salmon fishing, and blue-water sailing. He was fiercely loyal to his family and friends, and loved them dearly. He was wildly popular with them all. He will be greatly missed.

I knew Jim from elementary school through high school. He was president of our ninth grade class and vice president of our class in high school, which shows how his classmates valued him. I have very fond memories of Jim and was sad to learn of his passing. My deepest sympathies to his wife, Susan, and to his brothers, family and friends.
