Richard W. Ouin

Richard W. Drouin passed away peacefully at home in his sleep at the age of 80 after a long battle with C.O.P.D. Born July 9, 1939, the second son of Earnest and Lily Drouin, he was raised in Sanford and graduated from Sanford High School. In the early 1960's Richard moved with his bride, Linda Gray Drouin, to Rochester, New Hampshire to live and raise a family. He had retired after a forty year career in automotive manufacturing from Davidson Rubber/Textron located in nearby Dover to enjoy time with his family. Richard's hobbies were many but he especially enjoyed collecting model trains, planes, boats and drones. He was a woodworker, and loved fishing and riding motorcycles. Richard was the 'ROCK' in his family... always present, always wise...quiet with a dry sense of wit and humor. He was predeceased by his loving wife and will be greatly and forever missed by his six children, Ruth Lowell, Rick Drouin, Raina Drouin, Roxanne Drouin, Ralph Drouin and Ryan Drouin as well as all of his grandchildren...
