Richard H. Boone
1944-2022
The passing of Richard H. Boone, husband of Barbara Jane
(Tatton) Boone occurred at the Saint John Regional Hospital, Saint
John NB on July 29, 2022. Born in St. Stephen NB on June 22, 1944, he
was a son of the late James Herbert Guy and Katherine (Graham) Boone.
A loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather and brother, in
addition to his wife, Barbara, Richard is survived by one son: Gregory
Boone (Brenda) of Caithness NB; one daughter: Jodie Tanguay (Ret. Sgt.
Luc) of Prévost QC; grandchildren: Alexis Tanguay and

Venus of Delta BC and Charlotte Taylor of Perth-Andover NB; several
nieces, nephews and cousins. Besides his parents, Richard was
predeceased by one brother: Douglas Boone; and by one brother in
infancy.
During his career, Richard worked primarily in construction.
In his later years he was employed with the NB Department of Public
Safety from where he retired. A very active and well known individual
in his community, Richard was always one of the first to volunteer his
time. He served on numerous boards and helped get many local projects
off the ground. He enjoyed helping others and served as a Scout Leader
and was once a member of the Lions Club. He was also a long time
member of the St. George Baptist Church where he served as Moderator.
His devotion not only to his family but to his community will be
greatly missed by all who knew him.

that masks be worn in the church for the service. In Richard’s memory,
