Even though it was Lilian who actually worked at our day care, Ron was always a part of our family. He was our Santa for so many years. I will always remember his wonderful smile and great attitude. It's sad that one so happy had to suffer, but, I know he is at peace now with David. Rest well "Santa". - Posted by: Frances McQuiggin (friend and past co-worker of Lilian's) on: Sep 12, 2012

It is with a very sad heart that I have to write this. Uncle Ron was truly a great man and he was like a brother to my Dad. I will always treasure the hunting trips and the times we spent camping at Selkirk Park. On behalf of the Nowe family I want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. - Posted by: Guy Nowe (Nephew) on: Sep 12, 2012
