All of us who were in Ron’s life knew what an avid outdoorsman he was. His happy place was deep in a forest, surrounded by nature with Sharon by his side. Together they traveled the width of Canada, capturing breathtaking photos, videos, and the best travel stories! Ron’s love of his many pet companions was inspiring – his last furry friend, Kyra, was always near his side to share snacks and treats.
The family asks, in lieu of flowers, please donate to a furry friend charity of your choice in Ron’s name. The Family would like to thank the Kirkland Lake Homecare and the VON for their excellent care of Ron in his home. Your daily visits were a great support to him and his family. Thank you
