It is with sadness that the family of Ronald Ingram announce his passing on Monday, February 6, 2023 at West Lincoln Memorial Hospital. Left to mourn is his wife of almost 65 years Lorna Ingram (nee Brodie); his daughter Lorraine & Ron's card shark partner Garry Gibson; son Kenneth; his grandchildren Kristy (Dave), Stuart, Ryan (Kerstin) and Amber and his great grandchildren Ethan, Jared, Austin and Brodie.
Ron is now reunited with his beloved daughter Karen who predeceased him in 2014.
Ron was proud of his service in the Royal Electrical Mechanical Engineers (REME) and continued his camaraderie with fellow veterans in many Legions throughout the years.
In 1967 Ron, Lorna and their two young daughters immigrated to Canada from Scotland and the gang was soon joined by Kenneth, our first Canadian.
Ron, the consummate gamesman loved his chess games with Tom, especially the games he won and the euchre games with his partner Garry. The wins came with bragging rights which he savoured.
Singing in various church choirs, acting and writing for the stage for Little Theatres in Bramalea and Oakville were his passions. We could always tell when he flubbed a line or went off key because his family was his live-in audience.
Ron will be missed by family in Scotland, friends in Florida where many fun winters were spent, and along with friends here in Canada who became like family.
Thank you to all the doctors who helped to care for Ron through his cancer journey and the staff at West Lincoln, especially nurse Paul for his compassionate care during his final hours.
In lieu of flowers the family would appreciate you making a donation to the Salvation Army.
Fare thee well, thou first and fairest! Fare thee well, thou best and dearest!
Arrangements entrusted to STONEHOUSE-WHITCOMB FUNERAL HOME, GRIMSBY, 905-945-2755.
