Obituary of Clinton Ronald Anderson

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Clinton Anderson of Grand Bay-Westfield that occurred after a brief illness on Monday July 24, 2017 at the Saint John Regional Hospital surrounded by his family. He was the husband of Edna (Lewis) Anderson and born on May 11, 1934 in Saint John, he was the son of the late Howard and Muriel (Lee) Anderson. Clint had a 47 year career at the Winter Port and following retirement, he was employed at DMK Marine where he enjoyed working with the cruise ships. He loved baseball and played for various ball teams throughout the city, including St. Peters, which was inducted into the Saint John Sports Hall of Fame. Clint also played in the River Valley Old Timers League in his later years, not stopping until the age of 72. He could always be found at one of two locations, watching a ball game with his buddies or at Tim Hortons enjoying a coffee and smoke. He was a proud member of ILA 273. Clint will be greatly missed by his loving family and many friends.
