Joseph L. Sheehan, 90, of Wells, Maine, and formerly of Cambridge, Mass., died Nov. 13 at home after a lengthy illness.

He moved to Wells in 1993 and became a reporter for the York County Coast Star in Kennebunk, Maine, and covered Wells and Ogunquit, Maine. He later became a columnist for the Coast Star, writing the Shenanigans column, which commented on local newsmakers, people and events.

He leaves his wife, Margaret; two sons, Mark and Andrew; his first wife and mother of his children, Barbara; seven grandchildren; a great-grandchild.

The obituaries were written, at least in part, from published reports by Bulletin correspondents Ashleane Alabre, Sophie Cannon, Jenna Ciccotelli, Nico Hall, Joshua Leaston, Georgeanne Oliver, Julia Preszler and Thomas Ward, undergraduate students at Northeastern University.
