It is with great sadness that the family of Roy Goodine of
Bear Island, NB, announces his passing on September 23, 2020 at the
Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital, Fredericton. He was 76 years
old. Born in Bear Island NB, he was the son of the late
Gerald and Moncia (McGrath) Goodine.
Roy will be deeply missed by his wife of 56 years, Priscilla
(Clark); his children Chris, Stephen (Stacey), Pam (Brett) Vanhorne;
grandchildren, Mindi (Tyrel), Chelsay, Brandon (Melissa), Brody,
Bradley and Jack; step grandchildren Kyle and Alicia VanHorne;
great‐grandchildren, Westin and Orrin; brothers, Edward, Pat

In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his
stepmother, Anna St. Louis (Goodine); brothers, Kenneth, and Albert;
sister, Mary Moffatt; sister‐in‐law, Paulette
Goodine, and brother‐in‐law George
Brown.
Roy, along with his brothers Edward and Mike, was the owner
of Goodine’s Farm in Bear Island. He carried on
the family poultry, beef and dairy farm along with his sons and their
families. He was a long‐ time vendor of the Boyce
Farmers Market and delivered eggs each week where he loved to chat
with all his customers. His lifelong passions were showing
Hereford Cattle and racing horses. He was a member of the
Canadian and Maritime Hereford Association, Fredericton
Horsemen’s Association, and a former member of the Board of
Directors of Fredericton Exhibition Ltd.
He was an extremely proud and hardworking father and beloved
husband. He loved attending his children’s and
grandchildren’s sporting events. Roy was known for
his dry sense of humour and how he loved to tease. He will
always be remembered for the great, kind, and gentle man he
was.
His family is grateful for the wonderful care he received
over the course of his stay at the DECH.
To protect our loved ones from Covid‐19 and meet
the guidelines of Public Health there will be a private family service
to be held at Bishops Funeral Home Chapel. Interment will
take place in the St. Simon – St. Jude Catholic Cemetery in
Upper Queensbury, NB.
