So saddened for your loss. Stan and Ron had been friends for many years. Brings back so many good memories. Oh the good old days. Often wondered if you were living in Winnipeg. My prayers are with you and your family. Rose Carman. - Posted by: Rose Carman (Friends) on: Dec 28, 2024

Ron always had a story or an opinion to share with me when I was making a sales call. He was a proud north ender. We had a great time at the World Series in Toronto and recently I ran into Ron picking up perogies at St. Nicholas Church. My sincere condolences to Joanne and family.
