Obituary of Ronald Bruce Barton
Ronald Bruce Barton, born in 1941 in Saint John, New Brunswick, passed away August 26th, 2024. Ron has been reunited with his brother-in-law Tony. He was deeply loved and will be dearly missed by his wife, Hazel (née Roberts), his son, Andrew (Michelle), his daughter, Robyn (Al), his brother-in-law Michael (Sandy) and sister-in-law Ivy.Ron, an only child of Leslie and Julia Barton, fondly remembered his maritime heritage throughout his life. His career was diverse and distinguished, spanning roles as a heavy construction estimator, job site superintendent, and college professor. His professional journey took him across Canada and into the United States.
Before a stroke and subsequent health issues limited his activities, Ron was an active and enthusiastic participant in minor hockey, the Optimist Club, golf, and curling. His resilience and strength in the face of adversity were truly remarkable.
In keeping with Ron's wishes, cremation has taken place and arrangements are entrusted to Essentials Cremation and Burial Services. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Hotel Dieu Shaver Foundation.
May we all find strength in Ron’s example and carry on with the same courage he showed throughout his life.

Dear Hazel & Family
So sorry to read of Ron’s passing. Our thoughts are with you at this sad time.. Ron & I (Sandra Morrow)grew up in the same neighbourhood in Saint John, N.B. I have many memories of those times. We were always playing outside and in those days we went home when the street lights came on.
Ron’s home was always a welcome place. Our parents were friends as well and we were always together at Church on Sundays.
May God grant you Peace and Comfort in the days ahead.
Sincerely,
Reyn & Sandra MacKenzie
Bedford, N.S.
We are sorry for your loss.
