My sympathy goes out to all of Ronnie,s family. I too will miss his friendhip. He and Alden were such great buddies over a lifetime - I heard the stories of their "shenanigans" as they reminisced over coffee - and he was always "Uncle Ronnie" to our Dean, Tracy and Trevor. There is joy in the memories but also in knowing he'll have no more pain or heartache.
May you find comfort in your memories for he was very special.

Rest well in the loving arms of those who went before you. The world has lost another gentle soul. His kindness and decency as a neighbour throughout my childhood will always and forever be held dear to my heart and in later years his ready hello and smile and our chats over the backyard fence about this funny thing called life will be sadly missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Pat - although I never met your uncle, I know he must have been a wonderful man from the way you spoke about him. May you find peace in the days to come knowing God has welcomed him home...and he has been reunited with those that went before him.

Some of my greatest memories include "Uncle" Ronnie. In the past few years I have had many incredible conversations about his time and my time in the Elevator trade. I will truly miss him.
