After retiring, he joined the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires and continued working until just five weeks before his death. Ron was an active volunteer with the Western Canadian Aviation Museum where his knowledge of aircraft was a valuable asset. He enjoyed leading tour groups where he could share that knowledge. His first love was aircraft; his second love was golf and the many friends he met who could join him for a round or two. His wife used to offer him a blanket so he could Just stay there on the Golf Course if he wanted to. Ron and son, Ross, spent many hours hacking the little white ball around and had several trips together to Westhawk Lake. The favorite line was, YELL FORE, SHOOT SIX, WRITE DOWN FIVE!
