RONALD J. SMITH
1934 - 2019
Ron loved life. He was blessed with a cheerful and completely natural disposition. What you saw, you got and people liked him for it. Ron's many medical issues were born without complaint. He always looked at the bright side.
Ron worked at CNR for 38 years, retiring in 1989, giving him more time for golf. He won four Winnipeg Canoe Club championships and later joined Elmhurst. His last years of golf were played at River Oaks with friends he called "The French Connection."
Many happy times were spent in Palm Springs getaways with Marge and Bill, David and Pat and close friends. Son Guy and Mina also came to Palm Springs making special memories.
He was predeceased by his parents;
brother Charlie and his wife Anne; and sister-in-law Marge.
He is survived by his wife of 61 years
Bertha; son Guy (Mina); brothers, Bill and David (Pat); and his nieces and nephews. Cremation has taken place and a private
Celebration of Life will be held.
Flowers gratefully declined. Those wishing to do so may donate to a charity of one's choice.
A big thank you to the nurses and aides at Victoria General Hospital, 4th floor south. Your compassion and care were truly
appreciated.

My condolences to Bertha and family on the passing of Ron! ”Smitty”, was well liked by everyone who knew him and a great golfer and pal back in the day!! Ron was also an usher at our wedding, which seems like a century ago now and good memories abound from that era! Ron made his mark in life as a good person with a great sense of humour and humility and will be sorely missed. - Posted by: Don Corner (Friend) on: Jun 29, 2019
