He worked at Joe Emes sawmill, his dad's sawmill in Middlebro, MB and Maliki Ont. He also helped develop Buffalo Point, MB and worked at Sandilands Sawmill in Sprague, MB.
Ron enjoyed hunting, trapping and ice fishing. He was not one to venture too far from home, but he loved when his family and friends would come to visit, have a cup of tea, and tell stories. He also enjoyed spending time in his garden, feeding his birds, pet crows and squirrels.
Ron grew such a love for his special little girls/dogs (Mindy, Sassy, and Molly) – they were his world. His favorite saying about them was "They have so much love!"
There will be a private Family Service held on July 14, 2022, at 1:00 pm at his home in Middlebro.
