Mavor of Lower Kintore, NB; along with many nieces and nephews.
Dick is predeceased by his parents, his brothers, Eugene and Robert

Dick lived an adventurist life. He graduated from Southern Victoria in
1959 and went on to join the Navy where he travelled the world for
four years. He resided in British Columbia and there developed the
love of golf and became a golf pro. The family farl became available,
back to New Brunswick he came.
At that time there was an opening for a golf pro at our famous
Aroostook Valley Country Golf Club and Dick stepped up. He worked
there for a number of years and fully enjoyed the job and the people.
He next move was to the Grand Falls Golf Club. After that, he came
home to Lower Kintore and built his own golf course, “Lower
Kintore Golf Club”, later adding a sliding hill. We never knew
what Dick was going to do next.
Dick loved his family, especially all his nieces and nephews. He
always asked how they were doing and encouraging them to do
better.
