Ron Carrier (son of Doris and
Ken) died on December 8th at the age of
83. Ron was born in 1939 in Miramichi NB, and his family
later relocated to Grand Falls. He attended teachers college and
decided after 1 year as a teacher that he had chosen the wrong
profession. He started working for the bank of Montreal in
1961. This soon lead to a transfer to Shediac. When he moved
to Shediac, he lived across the street from his future wife Lily. On
their first date he told her he didn’t ever want to get
married and on their second date he said he wanted to marry her. He
said the best decision he ever made was getting married to Lily. They
had 3 kids who were heavily involved in various sports and activities.
As a result, Ron became an avid volunteer in minor hockey and figure
skating. He tried to never miss a game, competition or meet. He was
always very proud of his kids and even more proud of his 6 grandkids.
He would talk about them all to anyone who would listen. Although to
some he did not seem very social he enjoyed chatting with people and
telling stories about his youth and other times in his
life.
Ron worked at Paturels for
almost 37 years. After he retired, he bought a convenience store which
he had talked about doing for many years. Many people would come in
daily to have a chat with him and in his grumpy way he would greet
them and hope to see them again the next
day.
He was a generous, thoughtful,
and loving man. He will be missed by his wife Lilianne and his kids
and their families – Kenneth, Charlene, Kathryn & Andrew
(Moncton), Chris, Coralie, Maya & Brynn (Nanaimo) and Dawn,
Frank, Will & Emma (Toronto). He is survived by his older
brother Fred (St. Stephen).
The family would like to thank
the staff at Villa providence for caring for Ron for the past 2
years.
A celebration of life will
take place at a later date. Donations can be made to the Vestiaire
St-Joseph (www.vestiairestjoseph.com). Arrangements
are in the professional care of Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre,
Shediac (532-3297).
