Jean:
It is with much sadness that I learn of the death of Ron. During the past several months, Ron displayed a tremendous amount of courage while on dialysis. Whenever in his company, he never complained and was always upbeat. In many instances, he attended meetings and events of the Director’s Staff when it was obvious that he was not well.
I will miss Ron, not only as a fellow Staffer but also as a friend. He always placed the concerns of his fellow man above those of himself. Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend the Masonic Service on Tuesday evening or the funeral service on Wednesday as I am in Nova Scotia and will not be returning to London until January 8th.
Phyllis joins me in expressing sincere condolences. Jean, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Jean,
I was sorry to hear of Ron’s passing. My father-in-law Ross Prince, called to tell us. My mother, Betty Cotton (Somerville) also called to tell us.
I remember Ron driving me to work several times in my youth while working for SH Myles, when Mom or Fred couldn’t. It’s been at least 30 years.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. Please don’t hesitate to call me if there is anything I can do or anything you need. 666-1114
Warmest Regards
Chris Prince
