Peacefully, with dignity and faith, Ronald was called to be with his Lord on Thursday, February 11, 2016 in his 86th year. Predeceased by his beloved wife Barbara of 42 years. Cherished father and father-in-law of Susan and Brett Polawski, and Charles and Michele Holman, of whom he was extremely proud. Adoring Grampa of Carl, Ben and Matthew. He is also survived by brother Jack (Lelia), sister Arlene (Susan), and sister-in-law Marion Dakin, and his nieces, nephews, and their families.
