Condolences & Memories (10 entries)

  • I was deeply saddened to find out about Ron's passing. Although we haven't had contact for several years and I always cherished you as a dear friend. We had many great times together in Thompson raising our young families there. With our families at our sides, we survived the tornado in Regina in the mid seventies. I know you were a great husband, father, grandfather and friend to so many people. You touched us all and will be sadly missed. God Bless you and your Family. From Fred, Bev and the Girls... - Posted by: Fred Lebedoff (Brother in Law) on: Apr 09, 2014

  • I have not connected with Ronnie since our childhood days. Playing on the tractor. Feeding the calves. Those nights of talking instead of sleeping in the attic of the farmhouse. Picking rocks by hand in the field. Ronnie taught his "city" cousin about enjoying the farm. Climbing to pick crab apples on Uncle Mike's farm across the road. The original Jablonski farm. Good memories. Good days. Good cousins. - Posted by: Nick Joblin (Cousin) on: Feb 26, 2014

  • Always referred to as uncle Ronnie. Whether it was visiting us on Christmas, seeing him during hunting season or running I to him at a random family event, you could always count on him to have a playful sarcastic comment followed by his boisterous laugh. I can remeber many a time being at a social and able to hear his laughter over the noise of the crowd and the band. As time passes I will think of him with fond memories and share some funny stories with my kids. Rest in peace uncle Ronnie. - Posted by: Dwayne Deneka (Cousin / ) on: Feb 18, 2014
