    Dear Ruth and family, I was saddened to hear of Ron’s passing. I always enjoyed chatting with Ron as he was a positive and happy individual. He will be missed. May the memories of all the good times you have had with Ron bring you comfort and joy. Talk about him often so he will remain a part of your life even if he isn’t there physically. My thoughts are with you.

    I had the extreme pleasure of working with Ron at South Huron District High School and he made every day enjoyable. His sense of humour was always spot on and we would often trade jokes and stories. He knew how to tell a good tale. Ron made everyone in his presence feel special and he was one of the reasons why I looked forward to coming to work. He went out his way to make sure that if I needed something for my classroom, it would be found, fixed, or replaced. Ron was just a great man. My deepest condolences to you all and I hope that the love and support of your family and friends and the many good stories about Ron will help you all through the difficult days ahead.
