So sorry to hear of Ronnie´s passing. I´m sitting here listening to a cassette tape from the Bath hotel. Grande Trunk Western played there frequently. So sorry Diane. Ronnie was a special talent. And GTW was the best band I ever played in. Former drummer Doug Vargo.

Dianne & family,
Ron will be deeply missed by many, for a quiet person he has touched so many hearts. He will be with all of us in so many good memories. I remember the original Octoberfest in the mud room. Sitting on the old buckboard with a small group, singing, laughing, having a good time & always bugging Ron to play "Henry the pig farmer". I can still see his eyes roll, he would shake his head & say to all of us "I don't know why you all like this song so much" but he would play it anyway. We would all laugh & sing like crazy having a great time. Keep picking Ron!
