Ron enjoyed working as a heavy equipment operator for many years. Tearing down the grain elevators across Alberta and Saskatchewan were a highlight for him. Ron thoroughly enjoyed many fishing trips, especially going to Kitimat and the Queen Charlotte Islands. Ron spent many years in Golden, BC before moving to Didsbury. While in Golden he played hockey for the Golden Rockets and made many friends while playing. Since retirement Ron enjoyed spending time with family and friends, tinkering in the yard and of course watching the Pittsburg Penguins and the Toronto Blue Jays.

The family would like to thank Dr. Brunner and the incredible nursing staff in the acute care unit at the Didsbury hospital for their excellent care in the past couple of weeks.
