Passed away at home, surrounded by family, on February 21. He was 78. Ron was married to Eileen (Sim) for over 57 years, most of those living in Hickson. They were blessed with 2 children -Angela (Mark) Wygoda, and Darryl (Michelle). He also leaves 5 grandchildren and 1 step-granddaughter. He was also survived by 3 sisters and 2 brothers.

Ron’s main interest was sports and he tried his hand at a lot of them. His favourite being softball which he played, coached, and umpired for many decades. To show his love for the game of ball, he took a ball, a bat, and his glove “Big Blue” with him so wherever he ends up, he can get a game going. He tried his hand at golf for a long while but a couple of years ago, his health said, “Leave them there clubs in the garage Old Man”.

After harvesting and donating any organs of value or still working, Ron was cremated. Anyone wishing to make a contribution in Ron’s memory, please consider Woodstock General Hospital, or Hickson Fire Department of which Ron was a member for several years.

By the way, some of you may have already guessed – I wrote this myself while sitting in the hospital. Bye all!

The family would like to extend our deepest gratitude for the personal and supportive services provided to all of us by the Palliative Care Team.

Honouring his wishes, no formal services will be held.

Memorial donations can be made through Brock & Visser Funeral Home, Woodstock, ON.
