Ronald S. Goodwin, age 85, of North Easton, formerly of Brockton, passed away on Monday, March 25, 2024, at the Good Samaritan Medical Center. He was the loving husband of the late Helen S. (Seminerio) Goodwin.
Born in Oak Park, Nova Scotia, he was the son of the late Harold and Vida Goodwin.
Mr. Goodwin served his country proudly in the United States Army. He worked for many years as a sales manager in the office supplies industry, later in his career owning his own business (A&M Marketing).
Family was everything to Ron and he will be remembered as being fun loving, caring, calm with a fantastic sense of humor. He was as dependable as they come, always being there when you needed him, greeting you with a smile and with words of encouragement.
He loved playing all sorts of card games but enjoyed playing poker with his sons above all else. He was a passionate Boston sports fan, with a special place in his heart for his beloved Red Sox. Ron was a true dog lover, always having a dog by his side since he was a little boy. In his younger years, he was a driving instructor and even worked as a minor league umpire. Ronald loved a good cold beer and by his own admission was a “sweetaholic”. He also loved the ocean and as a young man worked aboard a ship (his uncle Jim was the captain) that traveled from Boston to Nantasket.
He leaves his two sons, Andrew R. Goodwin and his wife Marcy Curtis of Marshfield and Michael R. Goodwin and his wife Michelle of North Easton; a sister Barbara Gates; three grandchildren, Zachary, Faith, and Gianna; many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Ron was the brother of the late Harold Goodwin, Beverly Donlin, Marilyn Steeves, and Buddy Goodwin.
