    Sincere sympathies to Betty Lou and family on Ronโ€™s passing. I remember Ron loved fishing when he lived in Denfield, and he went fishing often in the local creek.

    My sympathy to your family on Ronโ€™s passing.
    Iโ€™ve missed seeing him in Lucan.
    Ron would always greet me when I was downtown Lucan and weโ€™d speak for a little while to catch up again.
    Iโ€™ll raise a cup of tea in Ronโ€™s honor as I know he really enjoyed drinking hot tea.
