Prior to retirement, Dick worked as a welder with Local # 213. He truly had a zest for life and enjoyed living life to its fullest. Both a snow mobile and motorcycle enthusiast, he was once a member of the Harley Owners Chapter of Saint John and enjoyed being out on the open road any chance he had. In the mornings, Dick could often be found at Uncle Maynes with the "coffee club," catching up on recent events and the local news. In his quiet time he enjoyed spending time with his family or fishing. He will be deeply missed by his family and many friends.

A celebration of Dick’s life will be held on Saturday, October 7^th, 2023 from 2-5 pm at the St. George Masonic Hall, 2 Carleton Street, St. George NB.  In lieu of flowers, donations to Charlotte County Cancer or to a charity of the donor’s choice would be appreciated by the family.
