Clint was a World War 2 veteran, having served with the RCAF Bomber Command in England. He disembarked from the Ile de France in Halifax on his 20th birthday after having signed up for service in the Pacific. In September, 1945, he enrolled at the University of New Brunswick, completing three years of undergraduate studies before graduating from Dalhousie University with his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1952. He immediately began dentistry in Chatham.
Clint loved the beauty and bounty of the Miramichi River. It continually nourished his passion for fishing and hunting. It also provided him with a community of friends with whom he became actively involved through organizations like the Miramichi Golf and Country, Chatham Curling Club, Chatham Recreation Council, and St. Andrews United Church where he served as Elder and Clerk of Session. He also was very active in the New Brunswick Dental Society, having served as president from 1970 - 71. When he retired in 1992, he noted his greatest joy during his career was working every Thursday morning with youngsters who could not afford a dentist.
A member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #3, he proudly honored the ultimate sacrifice of his fallen comrades by resolutely reading aloud their names on Remembrance Day. A Veterans’ Service was held at the funeral home on Wednesday evening, conducted by members of Branch # 3, Royal Canadian Legion.
Clint's family greatly appreciated the care he was given during the last stages of his life by the Extra-Mural and Miramichi Regional Hospital staff, Dr. Rambaran and Dr. Losier. They also are deeply grateful to June Dickson, Patti Brennan and Reverend Charlene Maguire MacKnight.
