MELANSON,
Richard
Edgar "
Dick"
Diploma, Nova Scotia Agricultural College, 1941; B.Sc. Agricultural
Engineering, MacDonald College (McGill University) 1943
Of Moncton, New Brunswick, passed away peacefully after a long
illness, on May 31. Born to Walter A.S.
MELANSON and Leona Gordon
RAYWORTH on April 9, 1923 and raised in Moncton, Dick was widely
known throughout the farm machinery and irrigation communities
of Canada and the United States, but in particular in his native
Maritimes. After service in the Canadian Army during the war
where he held the rank of Lieutenant, he went to work with Cockshutt
Farm Machinery in Truro, Nova Scotia and then in Brantford, Ontario.
In 1957, Dick returned to his native Maritimes as the regional
representative of Farmers' Supply and Equipment Ltd. In 1963,
with the encouragement and support of his wife Jean, he established
his own company, Maritime Farm Supply Limited, distributing farm
and garden equipment and irrigation systems as well as highly
specialized machinery which would assist farmers to become more
efficient in planting and harvesting their crops. In later years,
his expertise in the design of irrigation systems placed him
in a class by himself. While he made numerous contributions to
the agricultural industry in Atlantic Canada over the course
of his career, one of his best known achievements was the creation
of the Atlantic Farm Mechanization Show, the first being held
in 1975. 2005 marked the 30th anniversary of this highly successful
trade show in which he played a continuing role until his retirement
in 1995. Nominated by the Agricultural Producers of New Brunswick,
he was inducted into the Atlantic Agricultural Hall of Fame in
2005. Dick was a man who lived life large, with great style and
humor. There are few farm gates in the Maritimes that he did
not enter and where he was not received with affection and respect.
He valued honesty and integrity in business above all and expected
that all who worked with him do the same. He had a keen interest
in fly-fishing which he pursued in many Maritime rivers, but
never more happily than with his Friends in the Aesculapius Fishing
Club in the Miramichi. Predeceased by his wife
Jean McOuat
MELANSON
in 1998, Dick is survived by four children; Anne
CROCKER
(Myron
GOCHNAUER,)
Christie
(Dan
GOODYEAR,) John and Elizabeth (Paul
RUSNOCK.) He also leaves eleven grandchildren and one great-granddaughter
and his special friend, Francena
HUBBARD. He will be greatly
missed by the family of whom he was so proud. A memorial service
will be held on Friday, June 9, 2006 at 1: 00 p.m. at St. Bernard's
Church, 43 Botsford Street, Moncton, New Brunswick. The family
requests that in lieu of flowers, those who wish make a donation
to the Canadian Diabetes Association or to Moncton head Start
(Tel: (506) 858-8252, Fax: (506) 857-3170, E-mail: headstart@ca.nb.aibn.com).
