When Ron wasn't involved with his family and / or working, he could usually be found hunting or fishing or spending time building his computer. You are my Father I will not look at this as a goodbye. I will not allow the sorrow of this event to destroy me. I will embrace what you have taught me through the years and carry that with me. You have not died. You will forever be a part of my life, and through me you will forever be a part of my children's as well. We are your legacy. I am proud to have had you in their lives. I hope they inherit your charm, your good nature, and your charisma. I know with your influence they will grow to become good people. You have raised me to the best of your ability and for that I want to thank you. Thank you for being kind, thank you for being stronger than you know, and most of all, thank you for loving us. You have inspired me to live life to the fullest, and never back down. I will not be taken over by the anger and frustration of your loss. Instead, I will remember the days when I was young and you were my hero. I will see you in my dreams. There you will forever be healthy and strong. In time, I hope to embrace your freedom, freedom from the pain, and freedom from the weight of your illness. Sorrow is inevitable, but I will face this with the same courage you did, because I am you, and you are my Father. A special thanks to the staff at the Teulon Hospital, Teulon, Manitoba for all of their exceptional care.
