Ron had many talents and “jobs”, but his favorite job was being a grandparent. Especially being a great-grandfather to his blessings. He received his education at St Philips and Lebret, then Yorkton Regional for Carpentry. Ron met Doreen in 1969 and together they raised two sons and two granddaughters.

His many jobs included being a coach to the Cote Junior B hockey team, which he loved. He always talked about working for the Department of Highways. He also owned and operated Kamsack Billiards for 5 years, but his biggest passion was construction and cement, he taught his sons and grandsons the trade. Ron was a MacGyver, a jack-of-all-trades. He set on council for 2 terms. He loved playing his guitar and trying to sing along.

He also had many wives (The Whitehawk Sisters), they all had their own special stories about him, also can’t forget his “honeys” at the dollar store. He was known for parking his truck on main street and falling asleep, and having people checking on him just to make sure he was “OK”. He was a true Toronto Maple Leaf fan, win or lose he stayed faithful. He had special nicknames for his grandchildren and their friends. The colony will miss him taking all the Sarcan from the yard and going door- to-door asking for cans and plastic.
