Ron is survived by his wife, Rose; daughters Katherine (Mark) and Jana; son Alan (Rory); step-daughter Tara; nieces and nephews and grandchildren. He was predeceased by his father, Sydney; mother, Lillian; and his wife, Carol.

Ron was a talented man who seemed to excel in just about everything he turned his hand to, including carpentry, mechanics, music, poetry and art. He was an athlete, having been drafted to the WHA, as well as being a curler, playing softball, football, skiing, and hunting with rifle and bow and arrow.

Ron was a food broker prior to moving to Invermere and managing the Public Works Department. He had a lopsided grin and an easy laugh that will be sorely missed.

Rest in peace, Ron. You are now free from pain.

A memorial was held for Ron on July 13th, 2013.
