Many would have known Ron from being a Long time resident of Goderich as well as a long time employee of (Champion) before moving on to Marsh Industries where he retired as a Machinist.
After a long day at work you would most often find Ron at the Goderich horse barns looking after his horses or enjoying his weekly night at the tracks.
Ron also enjoyed the outdoors and was an avid hunter he always enjoyed his annual moose hunt with his buddies or a day at the firing range in his younger years.
Our family would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for the attention he received from all the doctors and supporting staff at AMGH. And also would like to thank all other support workers and the care he received at Maitland Manor.
