Dear Florence & Family I’m so very sorry to hear you of Ronnie’s passing. Bryan and I spent a lot of time at the farm in our early married life. We played many many games of cards. Although Bryan is no longer with us. He would say without hesitation that there was no finer of a friend than Ronnie. My most memorable gift that Ronnie had You was speech Oh how he loved to talk! You would be in your car all ready to leave and he would lean in on the drivers side window and keep hanging on while you were backing up and it would take you a long time to leave because he had still had one more thing to say! May God bless and comfort you all in your difficult times ahead. With Love Grace Franz - Posted by: Grace. Franz (Cousin ) on: Dec 21, 2019

I am sorry to hear of the passing of "Ronnie". He was a great man. I enjoyed spending time with Ronnie, having a cup of coffee & sharing fond memories. My family always had a great time, when we visited with Ronnie & Florence, & their kids, on the farm. My kids all learned a lot about how a farm works. Ronnie always welcomed us with a smile & took the time to sit & visit. The kids often spoke about how Ronnie fed the kittens right from the cow's udder and made them all laugh. They loved watching him feed the piglets. They learned a lot about how to care for farm animals with respect. Ronnie will be missed tremendously. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the service as I am in Kelowna, BC at this time. My family will be thinking about you all tomorrow. - Posted by: William "Mac" Franz (Cousin) on: Dec 20, 2019
