Ron was a talented Mechanic and had a passion for working on cars, motorcycle's, anything he could get his hands on! He was an avid Harley Davidson enthusiastic and absolutely loved Camaro's. He was especially fond of and dreamed of owning and restoring a 1972 Camaro! Ron also had a very big love for music, Whether it be sitting around a bonfire with his kid's or his Friend's he would be found playing around on the drums, guitar and even the bass. Ron's biggest love was his Family, he was an amazing husband, Father, Grandpa and Friend. Ron loved spending time with his Grandkids more than anything, he was so proud to be thier papa! He was strong, stern and honest, but most of all he was loving! He was always willing to lend a hand, give advice and always the one to tell you the hard truths. Ron not only was a loving person when you got to know him, if you weren't Family, but his strength in how he fought for what he wanted, he gave it his all, not only in life, but in his battle for Cancer, fighting until the end with all his Family by his side. A special thank you to the nurses and staff at the Rose Arbor House Of Centrica for thier support during our loved one's final days. He will truly and dearly be missed. We love you, forever.
