Ronald Mak Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 31, 2023.
Ronald "Ron" Tai Woo Mak, 73, of Manchester, NH passed away on August 25, 2023, in Lebanon, New Hampshire. He was born on January 2, 1950 in Hong Kong. He moved to Hawaii completing high school there before moving to Canada, and later on, New Hampshire. Ron is survived by his loving wife, Alice, his daughters, Heather and Claudia, his sister, Yvonne Ling, and four nieces and one nephew. He was preceded in death by his son, Kyle Mak.

Throughout his life, Ron embarked on various career paths, showcasing his versatile skills. He worked as a stockbroker, restaurant manager, tax advisor and retired from the Post Office in Nashua, NH after 20+ years of service, demonstrating his adaptability and dedication to his work.

Beyond his professional pursuits, Ron found great joy in his hobbies. He was an avid bridge player, traveling across the U.S. and Canada to participate in tournaments. Ron's passion for the game extended beyond his own enjoyment. He spent countless hours teaching others and sharing his knowledge, fostering a love for bridge in those around him.

Ron will be remembered not only for his accomplishments but also for his kind and giving nature. He touched the lives of many through his generosity and willingness to help others. His warm smile and sense of humor will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

In this time of loss, we extend our deepest sympathies to Ron's family and friends. May they find comfort in cherished memories and the support of one another.

Ron was my regular bridge partner for many years in Nova Scotia. His infectious enthusiasm for the game and for life was a great influence on all who new him. He was all in for his friends and was a good, good man.

Rest in peace my friend.

Dear Alice Heather and Claudia, Our family is very shock and sorry about your loss. Ronald was one of our favourite cousins. We have lots of fond memories of growing up together in Hong Kong. He was our teacher in playing Mahjong, bridge, hiking............etc. It was really a blessing we have such a cousin. He will be missed and remembered forever.

Hey Ron,
I remember when I first arrived at your house, the fish out of water. The first thing that you did was make sure I had a beer in my hand. And you even took it in good grace when I made fun of American beer :D
Your hospitality and welcoming manner are what stick in my mind. I'm sure you will be missed by all who knew you.
R.I.P buddy, I'll raise a can in your memory.

Dear Alice, Heather and Claudia. I am so sorry about your loss. Ron was my childhood family friend from Hong Kong and we have known each other for over 60 years. I have fond memories of us visiting each other, going to the beach, sharing meals....... I also ran into him unexpectedly at the University of Ottawa, Canada in September 1968. My last encounter with Ron was in late 2019 when he was attending a bridge tournament in San Francisco. He will be missed. RIP my dear old friend.

I'm so happy you all got to share a family vacation in Hawaii recently. I know that will be a cherished memory in the future.
Condolences to you all.

As a bridge player and friend, Ron was one of the finest people I have ever known. His friends at the Great Bay Bridge Club in Portsmouth remembered him at the game this last Monday, and we paid tribute to Ron with a special table that included his "Houseman" chair" that Ron was very proud of. Ron was full of life and always glad to see you. He will be dearly missed.

Dear Alice, I am sad to read that Ron has passed. I worked in Nashua and shared interesting discussions about the P.O. which he was passionate about. Hugs to you and your family.
