His career as an educator began in 1949 at Assiniboine School. He held numerous positions in the St. James Assiniboia School Division including teacher, Vice Principal, Principal and Superintendant of Schools. He retired in 1982 as Deputy Minister of Education for the Province of Manitoba.

He was especially looking forward to his annual hunting trip with his family, for which he was currently planning. Ron touched and influenced many lives and exemplified hard work and commitment to the community. He was an unselfish and caring individual.
