Ronald was a true Maple Leaf’s and Blue Jays fan; he loved tinkering on many home projects. He worked plowing snow in the winter and mowing the lawns in the summer. After a day’s work, he managed to come home with scrapes, cuts, bruises and bumps on the head. When ever needed he would lend a helping hand to friends, family and even strangers.

The family would like to thank the staff at extra mural for all the care they provided to Ronald.
