Dear Ron, Brother, Brother in Law & Uncle,
Although we did not say a proper goodbye, we will forever treasure our wonderful memories of growing up together, your love of singing many of Al Jolson songs, the words I'd walk a million miles for one of your smiles, which we will all miss so much.
God bless till we meet again.

My sincerest sympathies to Ron's family and friends. I just learned of his passing and regret that I couldn't pay my respects in person. During my years at MCC, he always made me laugh and he gave generously of his time and skills whenever I needed his help. I remember him fondly and will keep him in my thoughts.

Sincere sympathy to the Crosbie family. I remember Ron coming into the library to do repairs over the years and he was always pleasant and smiling.

I hope Ron knew that his co-workers at MCC would have done anything for him. But Ron was not the type of person to ask for anything. He would just keep us all smiling and laughing all the time. I will miss him. Goodbye mate.

Our sincere condolences to all of Ron's family. We are proud to have known him and Rita and everyone can take comfort in knowing that they are together again. Ron's humor will stay with us for many years. Each time we sit down to play poker, Ron's many stories will be revisted over and over. We were so lucky to have known such a wonderful and caring person with a real "pawkie" sense of humor. Rest in peace Ron and Rita. You will be remembered.

So sorry to hear of Ron's passing. My sincere condolences to all of Ron's family members. He was such a delight to work with at MCC--always joking & full of fun. I so enjoyed knowing him.

I
worked with Ron. I had a few beers with him one St.Patricks day at the
Dubliner Pub in north Phoenix. The kareoke was a bit loud to carry on a
conversation. Ronnie said about the kareoke, that he could take it or
leave it...that is unless he was the one singing. Ha!Ha!
I'll sure miss his colorful personality and friendly smile.
Best regards to the family we've lost one-of-a-kind. Knowing that
Ronnie was a 'full house' kind-o-a- guy.
Sincerely,
Ken C.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
In life there are certain people who stand out from the rest.
Uncle Ron.
He could fill a room with happiness
His eyes sparked with vibrancy
His smile warmed the coldest of days.
These are the memories I have of him now and for always.
I feel honoured to have known him - and felt his kindness and his love.
May God bless him and his family from Heaven above.
Love Marysia and Ed Gorski

When you’re little and your Grandparents get visitors
It’s usually boring…
Then there was Uncle Ron
The man with the magic vanishing cigarette or pound coin
With the bright smile and laughing eyes
For all the laughs, magic tricks and time you spent with us when visiting England
Thank you
Uncle Ron and Aunty Rita
Our favourite visitors at our Grandma and Grandad’s
Always full of fun and so kind
May your love for each other, life and laughter be remembered and comfort the family and friends you leave behind
Love
Victoria, Danielle and Joseph Gorski

Dear Anita, Karen, Steve and the rest of the Crosbie family,
We are so sorry for the loss of your dad.
Your dad had a gentle spirit and always a twinkle of fun and humor in his eyes. Your parents were such a cute couple with lots of love. I always remember so much laughter at our house whenever "Rita-n-Ron" dropped by.
As for us kids, I think your dad was our favorite of all our parent's friends. Most adults would just ignore the kids, but your dad always had a funny joke or magic trick to show us, and he was always so kind and funny.
He was a wonderful man.
On behalf of the entire Boyle family, we are so sorry for your loss and you will be in our prayers.
Love,
Liz Boyle-Ponczko

As much as you will miss him, we hope that you can take some comfort in knowing that he has gone on to be with many who love him and will be so happy to see him.
Our love and prayers go out to all of you.
Love Carol, Steve and Reece

Uncle Ronnie was a wonderful person with a terrific sense of humour. When dad & mom passed away he took it upon himself to keep in touch and check on us. I will truly miss his telephone calls.
No one could do magic tricks like him. He had a special way with children. They absolutely adored him.
My thoughts are with Anita, Karen, Steve and the Lespron Family. This is a really sad time for all of you. I'm sure the loss you are feeling is enormous. Hang In There!
May you have the strength to live up to your dad's expectations.
May he rest in peace and be happy that he is finally with his love - Auntie Rita.
Love
Katherine, Ross & Tim
