Born in Campbellton on March 5, 1932, son of the late Joseph Cantin and Aurella (Russell) Cantin.
He owned and operated Cantin’s Sporting Goods on Roseberry Street, Campbellton. He was a long time member of the Lion’s Club and heavily involved with the Campbellton Tigers in the 70s. He loved hunting and fishing and canoeing on the Restigouche River. We will greatly miss his dry sense of humour and his stories.
He is survived by his wife Christine (Teenie) Cantin, his children Paula Bloch (Dan) of Grand Lake, NS, Robert Cantin (Jackie) of Moncton, Donna Krekotin (James) of Edmonton, AL, Laurie Plager (Larry, deceased) of Napean, ON and Kimberly Cantin also of Napean, ON., his grandchildren Sandra and Laura Sidey, Jan and Hilary Cantin, and Darren and Jennifer Krekotin. He was predeceased by his three sisters and was the last surviving member of his immediate family.
