RICHARD RONNESETH Obituary
Richard lived a rich, full life. Born in Edmonton, he lived most of his life in BC, the last 46 years on Vancouver Island. Richard worked for the CN Railroad for 20 years, then had his own company building houses and later formed a real estate company with his wife. In retirement, he volunteered at the Royal Canadian Legion helping to build a war museum and also as an auxiliary community police constable.
Friends and relatives describe Richard as a compassionate man, one who was bright, fun, supportive, with a strong sense of fairness, humour and appreciated by all who knew him. He always made time to listen. Richard will be truly missed. Celebration of Life will be held August 30 in Duncan at First Memorial Chapel at 1 pm.

Extending our condolences to Richard's family. He was a Community Policing volunteer and contributed time in the Citizens on Patrol program where he was the "extra eyes and ears" making our communities safer. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

I was so sorry to hear about the passing of Dick (Mr.Ronneseth). I have many happy memories of times spent with the Ronneseth family over the years particularly when I was young and they lived near our family. He was such a kind and gentle man. He will be missed. My deepest condolences to Lois and to the entire family. Love, Linnea Abbott (nee Lindberg)
