Real sorry to hear of Ron's passing. Although time fails one's memory I believe that it was either 4 Sigs. in Soest or the Regiment in Kingston that we served at the same time. I was an R & TG Op. before designation was changed to Rad Op. Subsequently I became a Comm Research.
Best wishes to Ron's family.

It was a pleasure to work with Ron and I especially enjoyed his stories and sense of humour. He will be missed by many at the City of Burnaby. Condolences to the family on your great loss.

We were shocked to hear of Ron's passing, and to find we lived not far from each other.
I remember Anna and Ron from Germany...they were great people and Ron always had a story to tell.
Our deepest sympathy to all of the family and, Anna you have your memories, hold them close to your heart.
May God help you through this trying time.
