Condolences & Memories (4 entries)

  • I can't believe it has been 23 years since you had to go. You would have loved spending time with the grand kids as they grew up and watching how each of them turned out. Seeing the sports they played and observing the attitudes each of them possess would have made you laugh. They would have loved their Grandpa Ron. I miss you every day Dad. - Posted by: Craig Krahenbil (Son) on: Jul 17, 2024

  • Kraner, you were my mentor in broadcasting. You would be proud that I'm now 21 years clean and sober. I hope the family is doing well. Love Daniel MacKenzie - Posted by: Daniel MacKenzie (Co-worker) on: Nov 07, 2023

  • Ron was my best friend during my later teens and early adulthood. We shared many adventures and a lot of laughs, he had a great sense of humour and was a really funny guy at times. I lost track of him when I got married and moved to Nova Scotia. We also shared a love for the music of Roy Orbison that I still have to this day. - Posted by: Ingemar Bjornson (Childhood best friend ) on: Sep 10, 2020

  • I didn't know him, but the way I hear the stories and how they affected my dad and family, makes me really wish that he was still here today. Miss you Grandpa, -Liam - Posted by: Liam (Grandson) on: Jun 21, 2015
