After retirement he did odd repair jobs, grass cutting and snow removal. He would always drop everything to go help anyone who needed it. He could fix almost everything. He enjoyed baseball and golfing, bowling and badminton and he loved to talk!! He particularly enjoyed spending time with the three amigos being Mike, Dave and Les. Visits from Renee, Frank, and Trent were a very special time for Ron providing laughter by singing, dancing and talking about childhood memories. A special thanks goes out to Mike, who spent countless hours, at all times of the day visiting Ron and chatting up old times and yes Mike, Ron got the final prank on you. A special thanks to Nikki, for her spa days, and to Sonny and Roseanne and all the staff who cared for him. Visitation will be held at the McKinlay Funeral Home, 76 Main St. E., Ridgetown, on Monday October 26, 2015 from 2-4 pm and 6-9 pm.
