After a long, valiant battle with complications from diabetes, Ronald James Conway Cooper of Rockland, Ontario, passed away peacefully in the early morning hours of December 13th, 2021, surrounded by his family.
He is lovingly survived by his wife of 46 years, Jane, their favourite daughter and son-in-law, Angela and Johnathon, their favourite son and daughter-in-law James and Sara, and their favourite granddaughter Cassara. He is also survived by his mother Cecile, brother Tom (Nancy), and his niece Sarina (Francois) and nephew Shaun (Hillary), as well as many other cherished extended family and friends.
