    Bonnie & Family

    We are deeply saddened by you loss. Ron was a kind, good natured man who always made everyone feel welcome. I will fondly remember his “MacGyver” skills. He was always ready to fix things, even if they weren’t broken.

    Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

    Len:
    I am so sorry to hear of the death of your brother Ron. He had such a long battle with his illness. I didn’t know Ron well but each time he came to the office he would speak of you with such pride. He truly was proud of the wonderful work you do at the church. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you. ~ Peg

  • David and Joan Dombowsky says:

    Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We have fond memories of visits with your extended family the couple of times we travelled through Kelowna. May God be close to all of you during this difficult time.

  • Donna Hildebrand says:

    Ron’s willingness to provide assistance and share knowledge gave us (as recipients of his largess) the ability to be far more effective than we could have been on our own. We will miss his generosity, his pleasant manner, his happy disposition and his funny stories. We are very sorry for your loss. Donna and the staff from PACS.

  • Yvonne Kent (nee Palmer) says:

    Bonnie, Shelley and family: May you only grieve for a short time and then be able to smile and celebrate Ron’s life. Gone too soon but I’m sure touched the lives of many.

  • Nicki and Roger Hokazono says:

  • Allan Poulton (London, ON) says:

    So sorry to learn of Ron’s passing. My condolences to both his family and friends. I got to know Ron from attending several work-related training sessions in Western Canada over the past several years and remained in contact with him after my retirement a few years ago. Ron was such a good-natured and fun-loving guy … but sincere and dedicated, too. He will be missed. “Well done!!!” Ron.

    God Bless

  • Gary Baird says:

    Dear Bonnie, Daniel & David,
    My deepest sympathies at this time of Ron’s passing. I enjoyed working with Ron for the last 25 years and we shared many discussions about yours and my family. Ron was always so cheerful and helpful during our career together; and I know how helped both you folks and the KFC.
    My very best regards,
    …Gary Baird

  • John Stanger says:

    I’m so sorry to learn of Ron’s passing. It’s hard to imagine that someone who always seemed to be so alive is now gone. Although we worked in different parts of the country, I got to know Ron at our meetings, during our telephone conversations and through e-mail communication. I was always so happy to see him. His omnipresent smile and easy laugh were always welcome. His knowledge and ideas were relied upon. His dedication to our work was infectious. My sincere condolences to his family, his many friends and all those who loved him. He is, and will be, greatly missed.
