I was so sad and shocked to hear that Mr. Schurman had passed away. My deepest condolences to Marge and his family. He was a very caring and loving person...an amazing man. I worked for Mr. Schurman at Montreal Shipping. There was never a Montship Christmas party that we were not each others date! He was never without a smile or kind words.

Rest in peace Mr. Schurman. You will never be forgotten.

I remember Mr. Schurman from Montreal Shipping. I often went into his office to chat; about his singing, Nova Scotia and many other topics. I enjoyed those little chats. He was always smiling and it makes me smile remembering those moments.

I would like to send my deepest condolences to his wife Marge, and his family. He was truly a wonderful man.

I remember 'Mr. Schurman' as I called him fondly from our days at Montreal Shipping. No matter what kind of day you were having, he could always bring a smile to your face. Even after I moved away from Montreal, for years he and Marge still sent me a Christmas card. I was so touched.

Rest in peace Mr. Schurman. You are gone, but never forgotten.

Although I never got to really know my distant cousin, I always felt that Ron was a great guy and I always looked forward to seeing him at the Lakeshore Stamp Club get togethers. He will be missed at the club. My deepest sympathies to Marge and the family.

Ron was always such a wonderfully warm and caring man.

It was always such a pleasure to see Ron and Marge at the many Barbershop functions and at our annual Corn Roasts.

I will miss Ron and his glowing smile.

Sincerest Sympathies to Marge and the children and grandchildren.

I once wrote "My brother Ron" in answer to an on-line survey question "Who is the nicest person you know". I meant it then and I mean it now.

Uncle Ron was like another father to me, or at least that is how he treated me. I suspect he treated everyone the same, with an big heart and open arms. I will miss you Uncle Ron. You always had praise for me in what I did in life. Love always your niece Deb
