Ronald proudly served 32 years as a Hamilton Professional Firefighter. He was a Tyke Hockey Coach and Referee from 1970 to the 1990’s with the Hamilton Huskies Hockey Organization. Ron will always be remembered by his contagious laugh and his ability to make friends anywhere he went. He was a huge supporter of his grandchildren’s sports and could always be heard from the stands rooting them on. Dad’s sense of humour and sense of family will live on throughout his children and grandchildren, we thank you Dad.

Special thank you to the caregivers at The Village of Wentworth Heights, especially Carrington Neighborhood staff.
