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
