Very sorry to read that Ron had passed away. My sincere condolences.
I first met Ron while working at Royal Trust back in 1965 and while there was a gap in our relationship for a number of years, I was back in Calgary in the late 80's, so was around for his retirement.
My fondest memory of Ron, was one day 1966, when he and I went up to Banff to play golf. Back in those days the Banff Springs Hotel would close after labour day, so the crowds were gone from the course and green fees were reasonable. We were first on the course that really nice day. We came to a hole with a water hazard and as it was calm were able to see the bottom of the hazard and it was loaded with golf balls. As the water wasn't that deep, this prompted Ron take off his shoes and socks, roll up his pant legs and wade into the water and toss out a lot of golf balls. All pretty good balls too!
