I was so saddened to hear of Ronnie's passing. It has been years since I saw him last because of my living in the US; however, I have to smile when I think of him - his sense of humour, his smile. I can still hear his voice. My heartfelt condolences to Lydia, Dino, Kelly, Reagan and Landon and his brothers Dennis and Lanny.

My deepest condolences to all of you. I know he was proud of everyone of you. He was an amazing man and will be missed by many. Aalyn and Ryden made him very proud and they always will and I am sure he will be watching over you both every day. - Posted by: leanne stenning (Friend) on: Jul 18, 2013

Condolences to Lydia and family. I have known Ronnie since our teens. Two things he did not lose, his love for wife and family and his sense of humor. I visited Ronnie several times during the past couple of months and had to introduce myself each time. On my last visit I asked again if he knew my name with a negative answer. I tried a different approach and asked for his name to which he replied quickly "Ronnie Duchon". I then asked for his wife's name and he looked at me with that Ronnie smile and said "Mrs. Duchon." - Posted by: Alf Daher (friend) on: Jul 18, 2013

Lydia, Dino, Kelly, Regan and Landon, I am so sorry to hear of Ron's passing. Although It has been many years since we have been in touch, I have very fond memories of Ron snowmobiling, walking and just spending time together over the years. I just want you to know that I enjoyed every moment with him and still laugh when I think of his humour.
