He was soon to become a world traveller, working in many different countries from the high Artic to South Africa, the Sudan and many provinces throughout Canada. Ron was happiest when Joyce could travel with him – especially the times they lived in South Africa, Montana and a short stint in the Sudan.Ron was always a family man, through and through.

His homes on Sesekinika Lake and Kenogami Lake were a testament to his love for providing country living for his family and his love for gardening & the many years of growing flowers alongside his bride. He loved his music, sitting listening outside his workshop, and family times were of the utmost importance.
