Condolences
Isabel we wish to extend our sincerest condolences to you on the loss of your sole mate and best friend . Ron often bragged about how wonderful you were…he was very proud of you and the wonderful relationship the two of you enjoyed. Ron and I enjoyed many a coffee together here in Kelowna and in PD and ( I think ) discussed every topic under the sun. Ron was a very helpful and compassionate person and we will miss him a lot, however will never forget all the good time we had. St Paul writes….” I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith, now there waits for me the crown of righteousness which the Lord will award to me on that day……….”. We mourn our loss however not as those without hope……. Lots of Love, John and Vera
Dearest Isabelle and family….my deepest condolences on the passing of Ron. For many years Ron was a very special friend to my dad and they spent many an afternoon having coffee and philosophizing about life and all issues and topics imaginable. I know that his friendship will be missed and I know my dad looks forward to seeing him again one day. My parents have been grateful for your friendship over the years. I pray you may have peace in this very difficult time.
Ron lost his long battle with cancer and we are very saddened to have lost a brother and a friend. We want to thank Isabelle and all his close friends who were there for him during his time of need. Rest in peace Ron and you will always be in our thoughts and prayers.
Love Murray, Linda and family.

Izzy, I’m so very sorry to hear of Ron’s passing. He was the best neighbour anyone could ask for. He welcomed me into the neighbourhood from day one and was always there to lend a helping hand. I appreciated our conversations and his words of advice. He loved you dearly and always spoke of you in the highest regard. Ron was so very blessed to have you by his side. Sending you much love at this incredibly difficult time.
We know how difficult a time you went through with our brother Ron and his very gallant battle against cancer. We would like to thank you and offer our condolences. We have lost a dear brother and he will be in our memories forever.
