Ron was in the Royal Canadian Air Force for 33 years. During his time with the military he travelled around the world and was stationed in B.C, Ontario, Quebec and Germany. He retired as a Sergeant in the mid 1980's, when he found a home in Sylvan Lake. He then owned and operated the Sylvan Lake Fas Gas for 10 years and went on to work for Short Stop (Parkland Industries) for another 5 years. Ron loved the outdoors. He hiked and hunted, walked his dogs and taught them to hunt and retrieve birds. Ron liked to keep busy whether he was helping Joan in the garden, or just going to wash his truck.

He is survived by his loving wife of nearly 57 years Joan Catherine, his daughters LeeAnn (Dave), Tammy and son Darcy (Stacy), seven grandchildren: Dana, Collin, Jennifer, Kyle, Michelle, Brandon and Austin and a great grandson Calder.
