Ronald Masse

Ronald Masse of Bainbridge Island died at his home in early August. He was 56.

He was born Aug. 9, 1947, in Lowell, Mass., the son of Arthur H.R. and Estelle C. (St. Arnaud) Masse of Tyngsboro.

He attended elementary and high school in Lowell, and he later attended the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

He served in the U.S. Navy, part of that time as a member of the Ceremonial Guard. He enjoyed working in the graphic arts and fine-printing trades, and he made many friends in those disciplines over the years.

In addition to his parents, he is survived by a brother and a sister-in-law, Richard Masse and Andrea Dudley, as well as a nephew, David Masse, of Pelham, N.H.; several aunts, and numerous cousins.

Burial will be in Massachusetts at the end of August. Donations in his memory may be made to a local homeless shelter of the donor’s choice.
