RONALD ALBERT FORCIER

I was just thinking of Ron a couple days ago. It must have been a subconscious recollection of the time of year. To paraphrase Magnus Magnusson quoting from Old Norse, cows die, kinsmen die, so a man must also die. But he is never dead as long as friends remember him and tell stories of his life. Friends remain who will keep Ron alive in our memories a while longer.

Thinking of Ronald and his family these days,a true gentleman. May he rest in peace.

Ron was such a delight to know and work with. May God hold you in the palm of his hand and may I have the pleasure and privilege of meeting you on the other side.

A great legal mind and someone who was always willing to share his vast knowledge. May we meet again on that distant shore, my friend.

So earnest and enthusiastic. So warm and engaging. Such a broad palette of interests. Essentially irrepressible. Sui generis. I will miss you much, my friend.
