Condolences to you and your family
Our deepest sympathies to Heather, Amanda, Jason and Jeremy. I worked with Ron for many years starting at Westinghouse and we carried on for over 20 years in Fergus together. Car pooling and fabricating metal together. Ron was a farmer at heart. Our car pooling together taunt me a lot about the dedication of being a farmer. Birthing and chasing cows at all hours of the night and in the fields until the headlights on the tractor weren't bright enough any more. Ron often shared stories of his kids, driving the boys to their hockey games and having family bar-b-ques. No matter long little sleep he would get, he never missed work and few could work harder than Ron, even with a bad back. He never complained. I continue to commute to work, often remembering Ron on that road we travelled for 20 years. His world now is pain free and peaceful.

Ronnie was one of the kindest and most humble guys I knew. He had the biggest heart and a beautiful smile on his face all the time. I was lucky enough to have known him all of his life and the pleasure of being his aunt.
