Carroll Astbury, who worked as a business writer and a business editor for the Bangor Daily News, died unexpectedly. He was 58.
“His most recent position was as an assignment editor overseeing the business page and the Hancock County bureau in Ellsworth.”
Later, Trotter wrote, “Mark Woodward, executive editor of the paper, said that Astbury’s outgoing personality allowed him to get to know quickly the people he was writing about.
“His background in economic statistics strengthened his natural ability to be analytical and to get straight facts when learning about an issue, he added.”‘He was gregarious by nature,’ Woodward said. ‘He had an amazing ability to connect with people and was genuinely interested in them. All of that was very important to him as a reporter.'”
