I got to know Ron and Sandra when I started seeing my now-wife, Debbie. Ron and Sandra were staying with her while deciding on their next home. I later got to play a few sessions with Ron. He was truly a good human being, with a sense of decency, a wonderful sense of humour, and great bridge ability. He will be missed by all who knew him

I am so sorry to hear of Ron's passing. I had the privilege to be his first secretary when he started at the WCB legal dept. He was truly a great guy ...

Sorry to read of Ron's death. We went to Kits, UBC and UBC Law school at roughly the same time and played a lot of rubber bridge at UBC. He turned out to be the best player by far of our Brock House regulars.

I am so sorry to hear of Ron's passing. He graduated in 1959 and he will be remembered when our Law Class of '59 holds its Reunion in May of this year.
