He loved to go to the rink and watch his sons play hockey in the winter and baseball in summer. One of his favorite things was to entertain people with his stories and jokes, on Saturdays, while he was preparing a good scoff for them.
Ron is survived by his loving, devoted wife and best friend Michelle (Prince), his sons who were very precious to him, Matthew (Bubs) and Max, and his two beautiful daughters, Melissa (Pete) and Keisha.
