Stephanie and family, we were so sorry to hear of Mr. Torraville’s passing. He was a very soft spoken and kind gentleman. Both himself and your mom came to our home in Avondale several times with The Kenny’s Pond group.. Always a pleasure to see him. You’re in our thoughts and prayers .
I knew Ron only through correspondence with genealogical work on the Torraville family. Ron didn’t hand out information lightly – he made me work for it, then congratulated me on research well done. Thanks Ron, I learned a lot from you. Wish we could have met.

I had the pleasure of working with and learning from Ron in TD Bank’s investment division in the 1970s. He was one of that generation that built TD to be the great institution it is. I fondly remember him and his wisdom.
To Stephanie, Phil, and all the family,
So sorry to hear of Ron’s passing. He was indeed a fine man, in the true sense of the word. His marriage to your mom was a new lease on life for both of them, and I’m sure you will have many happy memories for years to come. Jean and I send our thoughts and prayers.
