Ronald Patrick ‘Ron’ Haines
1939-2021
On March 1, 2021, Ronald « Ron » Patrick Haines of
Little Dover, Guysborough Co., passed away peacefully holding the
hands of those he loved the most. Ronald was born in the village of
Little Dover, Guysborough Co., on April 21, 1939. He was the son of
the late Alfred and Catherine (David) Haines.
Born with salt water running through his veins, Ron became a
Captain at the young age of 15 when he began his career as a lobster
and ground fisherman. After 65 years at the age of 80, Ron fished his
last lobster season as alongside his nephew and great friend, Darren
Haines.
Ron was an avid outdoorsman, from deer hunting and rabbit
snaring this past fall, to setting eel pots and enjoying mackerel
fishing in the summer. He was full of life and certainly lived his own
to the fullest. He had a kind soul and would greet everyone with his
contagious smile.
Having a passion for music, Ron would often spend his
evenings strumming his guitar and serenading his wife in a quiet toned
melody. « Their own Johnny Cash », Ron would be most content
doing the same for his granddaughter and later his
great-grandson.
He will be gravely missed by the Apple of His Eye and wife of
56 years, Peggy (Boudreau) Haines; son, Chester Haines (Carol and step
daughters, Gabby and Alyssa and step granddaughter, Nora Sharp); sole
grandchild, Candace Haines (Mike Comeau) and sole great-grandchild and
Puppy’s Pride and Joy, Dex Comeau. He is also survived by
brothers, Tom, Lloyd, Manzer (Anna), Duffield (Rhoda); sisters,
Isabelle, Tena, Garnet (Gordon); as well as many nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by son, Sheldon Haines; brothers, Malcolm and John;
sisters, Margaret, Amanda and Leona.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to the
ICU and PCU nursing, physicians and support staff of St.
Martha’s Regional Hospital, Antigonish. Especially his own
special nurse, Sarah George who loved him unconditionally like her own
grandfather.
Cremation has taken place. Visitation will be from 2-8 p.m.

Celebration of Life will take place on Wednesday, April 21 at 11 a.m.
