He slipped peacefully away surrounded by his children. He is back in the arms of his one love, Jean who passed only a year ago, December 4, 2009. He will be sadly missed by his children and grandchildren, Ron and Andrea Williams (Louis, Kevin and Katherine) of Edmonton, AB, Jenifer McLennan (Matthew and Jasmine), Wenda and Todd Heaton, and William Williams of Coquitlam, BC. Ron will be also missed by his sister, Phyllis and Walter Blahut of Winnipeg. Her children, Myles and Linda Blahut of Winnipeg, MB, Val-Marie and Andy Parnel of Calgary, AB, and Leslie and Jason Patterson of Belleview, ON and many grandnephews and nieces, will miss their Uncle Sam. Ron served many years as a reservist at HMCS Chippawa. He was retired from 40 years at MTS Telephone Systems and was keeping himself busy by travelling to and from Vancouver visiting the family. He was used to time on the road, after retiring from MTS, Ron drove vehicles all across the country for Winnipeg Auto Auction. He sure loved to drive. Ron will be missed by all at the Royal Canadian Legion on Marion Street in Winnipeg which was one of his favourite hang outs. He was a regular in the crib tournaments at the Legion. Ron wanted no funeral but family and friends to celebrate his live with an OV or an Old Stock beer. Ron and Jean will remain forever together as their children place their ashes in Active Pass, off the south eastern point of Vancouver Island. We will miss you dearly mom and dad.
