Ron always loved spending his summers at Round Lake. He enjoyed camping, boating, fishing, swimming and hill climbing. In addition, he was a crib and Sudoku master. Ron was a practical joker with a great sense of humour. He was very artistic and an enthusiastic gardener…weeds beware! Ron had a long career working in construction as a concrete-finisher, dry waller and painter.
