Ron grew up in Treherne MB and spent many years working at Bill’s Esso. He enjoyed his time working on cars, playing practical jokes on people and he certainly enjoyed a good argument. Although Ron could be stubborn and head strong, he had moments of kindness and generosity. We will miss his stories, and memories that he shared with us. Bye Ron (Boo)…and keep them on their toes in the next life…

It's amazing the things you realize when you lose someone: you get mad at yourself for not saying the things you could've a million times, you take for granted the days spent doing nothing when you could have been with them. Anyone can be taken, at any time in our lives, but we always wait until they're gone to say the things we never had the courage to before.
