Dear Janet,
We are very sad to hear of your father’s passing. We send our deepest sympathies and trust that you will find solace in your memories of your Dad.

Although we live some distance away, we fondly remember our visit with Ron, Doug and family some three summers ago. We shared good memories of our times in Ocean Pond before departure in 1980. An excellent visit as we entertain another in the near future. RIP Ron and our condolenses to the families.

After just returning yesterday morning from a trip out of the province I was sad to read of Ron’s passing. I worked with him in government for years when their Federal office was located in our Department. I can honestly say that he was one of the most kindest, decent man that I have met..as well as having a great sense of humor! He brightened many a Monday morning going to work with his happy attitude. I know how much he will be missed by his family and friends. God bless
Janet and Family,
