Ron was born on November 6, 1947 in Melville, Saskatchewan to Teresa and Vince Malach. He married his wife Joanne Platana on September 19, 1997.
Ron began his career in the insurance industry over 40 years ago, working with Allstate before opening a private brokerage, South Edmonton Insurance, with his business partner. As co-owner and operator Ron was able to split his time between his rewarding professional life and rich personal life. He sold the business in 2016 and was enjoying his retirement by golfing with friends and his wife, travelling, walking his dogs, tending to his yard which was his pride and joy and spending time with family.
He was an avid golfer, at one time belonging to the Glendale Golf and Country Club before joining the Windermere Golf and Country Club in 2003. Ron coached baseball with Confederation Park Little League for over 10 years and positively impacted many young lives. He curled with various clubs, most recently the Saville Centre.
In recent years Ron was a board member of the Crystal Kids Foundation and volunteered his time for many activities. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Crystal Kids Foundation.
