My thoughts are with you Donna, Ryan and Tiffany. Ron was a good man. A good friend. I had the honour of knowing him for over 25 years. To this day your Halloween parties hold special memories for me. Having shared many conversations with him, I know that the three of you were the most important thing in his life. He loved all of you so much and was so proud of his family. May he rest in peace and I truly hope there's fishing in heaven!

Ron was a lovely man. We have known him for many years and watched Ryan and Tiffany grow from toddlers to young adults. Our thoughts are with you Donna, Ryan and Tiffany during this sad time.

We will miss his gentle smile and friendly disposition.

We will very much miss Ron’s love of life and everything that went with it - family, friends, hockey, the Habs, fishing and partying. There is a big hole in our lives, which no one will be able to fill in Ron’s place. Forever in our hearts my friend!

Caribbean Cruise 1998 with Ron and Donna. All of us taking pictures on our first cruise, with Donna snapping away everywhere. We arrive at Cozumel, maybe three days into the cruise, again snapping pictures all over. Donna says to me - can you check our camera, I think something is wrong. I find a shady spot and crack the camera open. NO FILM! I think Donna chased Ronnie down the beach for a mile!!! So funny!!
