19442017
Surrounded by the love and presence of
his immediate family, Richard Monteith completed his earthy journey
peacefully at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital on Wednesday,
December 13, 2017 at the age of
73.
Born in Woodstock, NB on September 9,
1944, Richard was a son of the late Harrison C. and Nina A. (Cook)
Monteith.
Richard was a true farmer at heart and
it is said that “farmers farm for the love of farming, they love
to watch and nurture the growth of plants and love to live in the
presence of animals and love to work outdoors.” His amazing
vegetable gardens and his love of selling bundled firewood and
kindling and tending to his apple orchards is a true testament of
being a true man of the earth. Richard found great enjoyment trying to
teach his grandson Evan how to drive a
tractor.
Richard was passionate about driving
Dodge vehicles and as far as he was concerned everyone should only
drive a Dodge.
Richard is survived by his loving and
devoted wife, Judy (Kidney) Monteith; his children, Richard (Carrie),
Lynn McKinley (Chris) and Lisa McKinley (Sheldon); the mother of his
children, Pam Smart; a stepson, Robert Gibson (Anne Marie Lewis);
brothers, Allison (Beverley) and Hugh; sisters, Irene Campbell (Bob),
Geraldine Kilburn (Chris) and Jeanine Prosser (Ralph); an uncle,
Oliver Monteith (Heloise); a special niece, Jessica; numerous other
nieces and nephews. Richard is also survived by brothers-in-law John
Belyea, David Lockwood, John and Roger Kidney and a sister-in-law,
Jackie Kidney.
Aside from his parents, Richard was
predeceased by a daughter, Katherine Monteith; sisters, Connie Myers
(late Ross), Pauline Belyea, and Margaret Lockwood; also, brothers,
Roger and
Victor.
By request, there will be
no service or visitation. An informal gathering to celebrate
Richard’s life will be held later in the spring of 2018. At
that time Richard will be interred in the family plot in the Kirk
Cemetery, Northampton, NB. For those who wish to remember Richard by
way of a memorial contribution, the family suggests donating to the
Kirk Cemetery or to a favorite charity of your choice.
