Ronald Joseph Puskas

Bob Kemp Hospice with his loving

wife at his side at the age of 71.

Survived by his loving wife Joanne

(nee Stayshyn) Puskas. Dearest son

of the late Maria (nee Cebarj) and

John Puskas. Will be sadly missed by

his brothers William (Bill), John

(deceased), Stephen and Christopher

(passed away when they were

babies) cause: whooping cough;

nephews Dennis (Bev/wife), Ronald,

Bob (Shelley/wife) Kuzyk, Blake,

Andy, David Puskas; nieces Kim and

Jill Puskas. Also has many greatnephews

and nieces. Growing into

his teen years, Ron had a dream of

going into the Air Force.

Unforeseen, his father passed away

instead. Ronald’s career began at

Greenings making a grand total of

$35.00/ weekly. He proceeded by

donating $20.00 to the family

coffers. The rest was for Ronald. He

eventually was hired by Dofasco and

was in his 31st year when Ronald

retired then started another career

in security. He was there for ten

years. Ronald and Joanne met in the

Barbados in 1966 and love bloomed.

Returning to Hamilton they

continued their relationship and

married August 2, 1968. Time went

quickly and 44 years passed. Now it

has come to this, the obituary of a

quiet man and a loving husband.

We were not blessed with

grandchildren but were blessed with

a strong love for each other. Ronald

Joseph Phillip was a very special

individual. He never spoke of his

accomplishments or showed off.

Ronald just did things quietly and

got the job done. He was an avid

fisherman and enjoyed the

outdoors. He loved to putter around

his house, adored all the pets we

had treated like children. When

hard times came Ronald was my

steady rock. Always there. The end

of the road has come. Ronald did

not deserve the disease and the

complications that came with his

cancer. It sapped him of strength

and left him weak as a baby kitten

meowing for comfort and arms to

rest in. So God reached down and

picked Ronald up in his arms and

took him home to peace. Love you

sweet heart forever and ever. Now

for his guardian Angels at the Dr.

Bob Kemp Hospice. I had lost hope

in finding compassion that these

special people gave to Ronald. They

made the road easier for Ronald and

for me. Also with greatest thanks to

Dr. Adrian Hornich and to the

Juravinski staff for all their

compassionate care shown to my

husband, Bernadette (Berny), Beryl,

Bonnie, Brenda, Christie, Doreen,

Erin, Jennifer, Johanna, Mary,

Maureen, Michael (Mike), Sarah,

Terri, Vivian K., Vivian P., and

Yvette. Cremation has taken place.

Memorial visitation for Ronald

will take place from the Markey

Dermody Funeral Home, 1774

King St. E. (at Kenilworth) on

Tuesday, June 5, 2012 from 12 noon

up until service time at 3 p.m.

Donations to the Dr. Bob Kemp

Hospice, to the S.P.C.A. or to a

charity of your choice would be

appreciated.

I will love you for all eternity

Ronald. You were the reason I lived.
