PORTER- Ronald "Ron" Frotten, 69, passed away on May, 15 2024. Ron was a longtime
resident of Porter, Maine. He was born on March 22, 1955, to Joseph “Paul”
and Marceline (Doucette) Frotten in the tiny French Acadian village of Quinan,
Nova Scotia, Canada. At eight years old he immigrated to the United States.
After graduating from Reading Memorial High School in 1973, Ron proudly
served in the United States Air Force. Known for his generosity, Ron traveled
the world in the Air Force and returned with many gifts for his family,
including the first set of china his mother ever owned.
He had a successful career as a welder at Boston Steel & Manufacturing Co.
and later as the head of maintenance at a nursing home. He could fix anything
and provided many hours of free labor to family and friends.
Ron was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting with his cousins in
Canada. In his later years, he found solace in spending time outside with his
most loyal companion, his beloved dog Cassie. Ron was particularly fond of
family gatherings and celebrating his French Acadian heritage.
He is survived by his son Hakeem, his siblings; Robert (Anne), Larry (Andrea),
Bernadette (Kenneth), and Jeanne (Laurence), as well as his seven nieces and
nephews; Kristina, Yvette, Kerri, Shawn, Crystal, Gregory and Natalie. There
will be a memorial service this summer. The family would like to thank Derek
and Kim Eastman for their gift of friendship to Ron in his later years.
