He was an avid stamp collector, enjoyed poetry, travel, the dance club, curling and family events where his laughter, kind words, gentle smile, singing and playing of the fiddle will be dearly missed.

A special thanks to Dr. Harris and the health care teams at Concordia Hospital, for their excellence in cancer care.

I am greatly saddened with the passing of my eldest brother Ron, but knowing that he is now resting in peace gives me some comfort. He was a fighter and I was very proud of him. I will especially miss his fiddle playing, but know he is up there, now playing again with our Dad. - Posted by: Lucy Robertson (Brother) on: Aug 02, 2013

Ron was a very dear friend of mine and a respected work colleague from the late 1960's onwards. We first crossed paths in my Inco days when Ron was a Mines Inspector. Ron was a true mining professional and Inco Thompson always respected Ron's opinions on the safety of our underground mining operations. I later had the pleasure of attending Ron's government retirement luncheon where many of his peers paid their professional respects and farewells to Ron. The world is a poorer place without you Ron.
