Am just finding out, was really saddened to hear this. I'll remember Ron as a great curling skipper and teammate. Taught me a lot about the sport, and was lucky enough to win a men's league championship with Ron at the helm. I'll also remember Ron for his involvement at the Legion and from summers at the golf club. My condolences, and we'll miss ya Ronny.

Cathy Al and family are thoughts and prayers for your loss at this time. May God give you comfort and peace. Karen and Francis Sterling and family

From our family to yours - our deepest condolences on the passing of Ron. He was such a larger than life presence in my childhood. Always laughing and had the best Dad jokes. When our parents got together for cards or anything I just remember them laughing all the time. Such a great way to go through life. He was the MC at our wedding and it looked like he did it for a living he was that great. He was wonderful, funny and he loved his family so much. I know what a immense loss this is for your family and we are sending you all of our love at this really difficult time.

My deepest sympathy for the loss of Ron. Please be strong and remember Ron as the Loving Man that he was and will continue to be in his new path. Ron will always live on in every ones memories. Condolences and Love Dave

My condolences to the family. I surely enjoyed curling with and against Ron. Our winning the provincial championship and going to the Dominions in Ottawa were the high points of my curlimg career. No matter how poorly we played in front of him the "skipper" always had a smile on his face and encouraging words: "we"ll get"em next end!". He was one of the good guys.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you all at this sad time. Another angel got his wings may you Rest In Peace. Much love Steve and Esther xo

Ron was a wonderful neighbour when we were growing up. He always had a warm welcome for all the kids/teens who visited his home on Essa over the years. He usually had a corny joke to share followed with a smile, Good memories. My thoughts, prayers and hugs go out to all of you.

So sorry to hear of your dads passing Cathy. Lots of fond memories with him at the Legion. Hugs to all of you. Patty
