We offer our sincere condolences to Janet and her family with the news of Ron’s passing. We both knew Ron and Janet through different contacts through the years: Gladys knew Ron through the friendship of her and Ron’s parents. Their parents visited each other, and they played together as children. We met Janet through high school and often crossed paths again with Ron at the University of Manitoba. Len worked at the Manitoba Telephone System in the Engineering Department and had many working contacts with Ron in the Finance Department. Ron was the source of timely financial information needed for responses to communication regulators. Our deepest sympathies, Len and Gladys Lewkowich - Posted by: Len and Gladys Lewkowich (Friends schoolmates and coworker) on: Dec 08, 2018
