  • So sorry to learn of Ron's passing. I have many special memories of working with Ron at Transit, then how he also "looked out" for my Grandmother when they all lived in the same complexes on Bolton Bay. He had a smile and chuckle that will never be forgotten. - Posted by: Dan Kirk (Transit Friend) on: Jan 29, 2013

  • Sorry for the loss. Kool guy always enjoyed the visiting when we were kids and Uncle Ron and Auntie Stell always entertained us with the pool on Smith St. Or the introduction to superchannel and kool movies since we were in the country and had 3 channels. And Auntie Stell's chocolate chip cookies. I had never seen a cleaner Ford Tempo in my life. Glad he went happy peacefully and had a full stomach.
