I hope the family gets this message. Just typed one and it disappeared. Have to start again. I just heard of Ron's passing. I was very shocked. My Sympathy goes out to each of his Family. It's an even more difficult time to have a loss of a Family member while in this Pandemic time. You have to Communicate this way, which seems so sad. Each of you are in my thoughts through this time of loss of Ron. Ron and I knew each other for many years. Our parents were good friends years ago. We always use to chat about our teenage years growing up when our parents were members of ANAF Imperial Unit 229 on York St. across from Free Press. Ron loved my Mother. And she thought a lot of him as well. It will seem so strange when we are able to gather again not to see him sitting with his regular group on a Friday evening at 229. I will miss him teasing me, our chats, our hug & kiss each time we met up. He always put a smile on my face each time. I also was asked by Bob Chimney to express his condolences to each of you. He is thinking of each of you as I am as well. Know he grew up around all your family. I cherish the memories I have of Ron and hope your many Memories of him will help to heal your sadness during the days ahead and give you all peace. Sincerely in my Thoughts. An old Family Friend Judi Helle (nee Howell-Harries)
