Allan, Ronald Melbourne –
We celebrate a life well lived, but it is with heavy hearts
that the family of Ronald Melbourne Allan, announce his peaceful
passing at Shannex in the Valley Nursing Home with family at his side
on Wednesday 13 December 2017. Born in Saint John on
December 11, 1932, a son of the late William and Margaret Allan
(Folkins).
Ron worked at the Saint John Dry Dock for 41 years, starting
as a draftsman and moving up to Chief Estimator before retiring in
1992. Ron grew up in Saint John and after marrying Elizabeth
Higgins of Amherst moved and built his family home in Renforth to
raise their 4 boys. Holidays ranged from tent trailering
with young children, to many years of boating on the Saint John River,
on his masterpiece, the Juno V. In his retirement years he
joined the 5th wheelers visiting Florida for
many winters.
In addition to his wife, Betty Allan (Snodgrass), Ron is
survived by his children: Dr Mark (Donna) Allan of Kingston, NS; David
(Sherry) Allan of Hubbards, NS; Stephen (Dorothy-Ann) Allan of
