My family has many, many fond memories of Ron and his family. We knew him through the Orange Lodge (Junior Band) and of course the many years he played Santa and kept my kids believing. He will be sadly missed. You kids had a ONE IN A MILLION dad! Roberta - Posted by: Roberta Bullee (Walker) (Friend) on: Nov 07, 2016

My condolences to all of Ron's family. I knew Ron for many years. He drove bus with Winnipeg Transit the same time my dad Peter did. He was always a good friend, neighbour. You could always see him walking the streets of Weston. He always had or made the time to talk with everyone he met. He will truly be missed by many, that have had the honour to know him. RIP my good friend. - Posted by: Denise Funk (Friend) on: Nov 05, 2016

The Alexanders moved into the house across the lane about the time I was born. While we were always welcomed into their home, the real conversations occurred in the lane. The men shared their love of fishing and repairing cars, the women shared stories about kids and family over a hot cup of coffee. It was a time of real community, when neighbours looked out for each other and helped when they could. Ron and Marg are back together again, and we will miss them terribly. We are grateful for their life time of friendship and memories, and extend our deepest condolences to Brian, David, Sandy and Laurie and their families. - Posted by: Cindy and Lloyd (Friends and neighbours) on: Nov 05, 2016

He's a fellow bus friend, he helped star transit heritage. He's a perfectionist that wouldn't back down on quality. - Posted by: Pat Rogoski (friend) on: Nov 04, 2016
