Ronald Recchi Obituary
Ronald Recchi passed away peacefully at home in Valemount, BC on November 27, 2017 following a year-long battle with cancer.
Ron was born and grew up in Kamloops, BC where he enjoyed playing hockey, softball, fishing and hunting. His parents Louis and Nellie raised Ron, his brother Mel and sisters Angie and Darilyn in their house on Lorne Street and the area around the Red Bridge and Pioneer Park was Ron's stomping grounds growing up. He was a hard-working father who was serious but could never resist the opportunity to have a laugh (and a rye or two) with friends and loved ones whenever the opportunity came about.
Ron's job brought the family to the Prince George area for a few years in the late 70s then to Valemount in 1980 where his boys grew up and he and Sue have lived ever since. Ron loved the outdoors and continued to hunt every season and in retirement he added golfing to his outdoor activities. He stayed close with his family and many friends based in Kamloops even though they'd lived away for many years. Ron still considered Kamloops his hometown.
Ron is survived by his wife Susan, sons Darin and Marvin, daughters-in-law Summer and Dawndi and grandchildren John, Rachel, Hazel, Sammy, Charlie and Evelyn. His sons are grateful for the devoted Dad he was, the work ethic he instilled in them and the love of outdoors that he passed down. His grandchildren will cherish the many fond memories they have of their Nonno.
Per Ron's wishes there will not be a service.
