I am saddened to hear of Ron's passing. My time with Ron was a few short years in the 1970's on the curling ice. I remember Ron as a skilled curler and a fierce competitor. We had many games than brought out the best in the both of us on the curling ice, and I am happy that I had those occasions to compete with Ron, and sit down after the game for a beer and re-tell the game shot by shot. Although I left competitive curling in later years, I was happy to see Ron kept up with his competitive zeal, as I know he loved the game of curling with a passion few exhibited.
I did not know much of Ron's private and family life, but I can say that in the way he loved the game of curling, he could only love those dear to him even more. My sincere condolences to Ron's family, and I thank you for being able to share this story.
