Ron grew up in Chatham where he enjoyed involvement in sports, particularly hockey and baseball. He was honoured for his sportsmanship and skill many times. Ron enjoyed lifelong friendships through his participation in sports, his employment with Frederick Transport, Canada Post, driver with First Student bus, volunteer work with Bibles for Missions, Loads of Love and church involvement. His greatest joy was sharing his love of the Lord through everyday conversation, particularly over coffee and donut.
