AUGUSTA – Ronald Omer Gotreau, 76, passed away on Sunday, Jan. 21, 2024, at Togus Springs following a brief illness. He was born in Augusta on Oct. 23, 1947, a son of the late Rita (Dube) and Raymond Gotreau.
Ron attended St. Augustine’s School and graduated from Cony High School In 1966. In 1968 he was drafted in the US Army, where he served in the Vietnam War.

In his early retirement days, he enjoyed his time working at Regal Cinemas and driving cars for Moody’s Collision.

Ron loved spending time playing three card poker at Oxford Casino, or hanging at the Calumet club playing cribbage or calling numbers at Bingo on Sunday and Wednesday afternoons. However, his favorite time was always spent with his family.
Ron is survived by his wife of 53 years, Jeannine (Fecteau); two daughters, Andrea Dyer and husband James and Susan Fossett and husband Danny; and his only grandchild, Ryan Fossett. He is also survived by his siblings, Gerard, Lucielle (Mills) and Kenneth.
