RONALD (RON) BURDEY It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Ronald Mitchell Burdey on Saturday, October 28, 2017 at Thorntonview Long Term Care Centre in Oshawa at the age of 83. Son of William and Mary Burdey, Ron was born March 23, 1934 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He was the loving husband and best friend to his wife of 62 years, Beatrice Burdey (nee Koblensky). Ron will be forever remembered and loved by his children, Mitchell Burdey, Janet Albinet, Sue Williams (James Doig), and adored by his grandchildren, Jesse and Josh; Anna and Jack; Kristin, Alex and Shane; along with his great-grandchildren. Beloved brother to Stan Burdey (Laurie), Pat Winter (nee Burdey) (Gary, predeceased), and Ken Burdey (predeceased) (Helen), brother-in-law to Lisa Wurm (Frank, predeceased) and "Uncle Ron" to his nieces and nephews. Ron retired from Consumers Gas after 36 years of service. He loved to play golf, travel, enjoyed spending time with family and friends and got a great sense of joy out of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Ron was a proud man with a great sense of humour and he taught us all well. He will be missed dearly. A Celebration of Life service will be held at a later date at Mount Lawn Funeral Home, 905-443-3376 to honour and celebrate a wonderful man. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Thortonview LTC or Alzheimer Society of Durham Region. Memories can be shared at www.mountlawn.ca
