Ron loved his family, his friends, his big brick house and his antique vehicles. He proudly served the City of Medicine Hat Fire Department as Deputy Fire Chief for Inspections until his retirement in 1994. He participated in car shows and parades with his antique cars and rode with the MHVVC Club on the Web ladder truck often. He enjoyed camping with his van at Rattlesnake and flying to Arizona for little winter holidays in recent years. He attended his grandchildren's events and sporting activities and enjoyed helping out at Jeff and Renee’s acreage. Coffee at A&W was his morning routine. His home was his passion and he kept it just the way he wanted it. Sadly, he succumbed to a functional decline in health.
