Ron Reitsma Obituary

(July 7, 1941 - July 5, 2020) Ronald Andrew Reitsma, beloved husband, father, brother, grandfather and uncle, died on July 5, 2020 of a heart attack. Ron was married to Ann (nee Winkel) for 40 years and was a loving father to Ruth & John Arthur, Clint & Joella Reitsma, Ross Reitsma, and treasured grandfather to Ben, Anna, Jude, Levi and Zach. He is also a cherished brother of Martin and Trudy Reitsma, Gary and Audrey Reitsma and Jean and John Vanderkooy. "When peace like a river, attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll, Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well, with my soul." Due to the restrictions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, a private family service will be held on Friday, July 10.

I met Ron and Ann through work and we all naturally carried on as friends. I will greatly miss our friendship breakfasts and fun conversations about Real Estate, Politics and investing. We had some comical conversations that kept Ann laughing that is for sure. Rest in peace my friend.

I am very sorry to hear about Ron's passing. Ron and I worked together for many years. We used to make a point of having coffee together with Ken. A lot of information was shared between the three of us. I moved north after retiring and lost touch with Ron. I will always cherish the friendship that I had with him.

Met Ron 34 years ago when we both served on church council. Kept in touch ever since. Was well informed on current affairs and we had many discussions about politics, business & religion. Great guy & easy
to talk to. I'll miss him. RIP Ron.
