I was so sad to hear about Ron’s passing. It seems like just yesterday when we were at Rob’s (Tuey) celebration of life. I have fond memories of growing up in Stacey subdivision, just down the street from the Bellefleur’s. Speaking of growing up, Ron and his friends were my unofficial bodyguards. I still remember getting Ron’s brother Jim in trouble with his mom by playing near the junk yard behind my house. Back in grade one I think, before I started hanging out with Ron’s other brother Tuey. One of the more recent memories with Ron, Donna and family was on the beach at Sauble when Tuey and I crashed their beach party. It was such a great life moment.
Heather and I are sorry that we won’t be able to attend Ron’s celebration of life. We wish your family, a peaceful and memorable day.
Thinking of you…
Al and Heather Tayles

Donna, Brittany, Brent.
Very sorry to hear of Ron's passing. He was a great guy and always fun to be around. When I was a teenager Ron had
boarded horses at my parent's farm on Gregory Drive. Later Ron asked me to build your first home on Indian Creek 40
years ago. Always remember Ron's great sense of humour and his contagious laugh. He embraced life and lived it to the
fullest...just a pleasure to have known him...good memories forever.

This is so well said, John, Thank you so much for such a heartfelt message. He was an incredible friend, husband and father- we miss him so much.
You must know that, even during his last weeks of his life, he spoke daily about how beautiful his home was and how proud he was of it.

So sorry for the loss of a great husband and father.
Ron, you will be missed. Our Parent family will never be the same without you. Your attendance at family gatherings were always enjoyable and lighthearted because of you. Your humour, intellect and historical facts added to our conversations were always appreciated input.

Ron and I spent many hours doing battle on the squash courts back in the days when we could do such things. Good conversation over a beer afterwards. We were also work cohorts at Fram, et al. Always quick with a smile, he was a great guy.

Donna and family,
We are so saddened by the passing of Ron. Our hearts go out to you Donna. I loved his sense of humour - that’s what I remember best in those days gone by. He would tease me all the time and then begin that laugh of his. We had some good times.
Please accept our condolences and may you have many, many fond memories of Ron.
Lots of love and hugs to you,
Pete and Joan
