To Joline & Jennifer & family:
My deepest condolences to you and your family. Ron became a great friend as a HBI Member. I will always remember many a golf scrambles not to mention serving on the Board together for several years. He was the first to voluntarily serve for two consecutive terms as President which the association was very grateful. I always wished I was as good a golfer as Ron was in his early days. Great man raised a great family. He will be missed.

I was saddened by the news of Ron's passing.
Always with a smile when I was mowing in Ashipin.
My prayers are with Joline and the girls.

Whenever we think of Ron, positive "vibes" come forward.
He always had a smile, a genuinely sincere attitude - he made you feel important. How could you not want to spend time with someone like this? His soft and gentle ways yet his firm conviction about his beliefs. A person you wanted to spend time with because he was always enjoyable to be with. He will be missed yet thought of often. A blessing to know him...
