Ron was born and raised in Calgary attending Crescent Heights High School. He entered the trades and became a welder, working his entire career with Exchanger Industries. After High School he met and married Cheryll Black and they had three boys. About five years after the marriage dissolved, he met and eventually married Gwynyth Shephard, a relationship that lasted until her passing last summer. Ronald loved simple pleasures – the great outdoors and especially camping
