I wish to extend my sincerest condolences to Ron’s entire family. I was greatly saddened to learn of his passing. Ron was one of my best friends at Stanstead College, which we attended in the 1969-70 school year. Everyone called him Rusty in those days, and when I told Rusty that I had decided to attend Dawson College in Montreal the following school year instead of returning for Grade 12 at Stanstead, to my great delight Rusty decided to do the same and we had another great and fun school year together at Dawson. Although Ron and I gradually lost touch in the 1970s as I moved from city to city due to university and my career, I have never forgotten Ron and how much fun it was to be around him and what a great and true friend he was. I consider myself fortunate to have known him and, most certainly, my life was enriched because of it.
