Daniel P. Barselou, 85, of Portland, Maine,  formerly of Fall River, MA, husband of Paulette M. (Auclair) Malloch Barselou, passed away Sunday, August 8, 2021.

After working 25 years in the auto body business Mr. Barselou started his own business, Vinyl, Glass and Whitewall Services, doing auto cosmetics and repairs.

His interests were varied and he could discuss any topic. His later years were spent watching TV, most always the Smithsonian and History channels. He was "a friend of Bill W." for 38 years proudly wearing his medallion and sharing the AA program with anyone who would care to listen. He loved all animals and especially his six golden retrievers and his terrier “Buffy” who was at his side as he left this world for the next.
