Rest in peace Ron. I think I only met you once. You and Myra were with your Toronto friends Dave and Gayle at Bellissimo's Pizzeria some months back and I was called over to your table. Dave said to me 'I believe this gentleman is a cousin of yours'. We confirmed it was true. We had a nice chat. I think you were out of the hospital for a day to have dinner with your wife and friends and Myra was staying with them. We became friends on facebook and I wanted to visit you, but I think you were maybe too ill and lacked strength. There is no doubt you were a very special person loved by many. Sending condolences, hugs and prayers to all your family.
