Ronald Reid

Mr. Ronald Reid, a resident of Kenora, Ontario, passed away on March 12, 2017 at his residence.

Ronald is survived by his loving wife of 48 years Heidi, children Willy (Patti), Sherry (Harold), Clint (Heather), grandchildren Lael, Jackie, Ashley, Scott, Craig, Brett, Josh and Faith and eight great grandchildren. His sisters Lorna (the late Hughie) and Linda (Tom) as well as several nieces and nephews.

Ron is predeceased by his parents Ernie and Marge Reid.

Ron was born in Kenora where he resided and worked most of his life. In high school he realized he had a passion and talent in playing the saxophone which led to him being in the band the Twilighters.

He started his work history helping his dad with the family owned moving business, Kenora’s Transfer. From there he worked for Suncrest Pop and Canada Dry as a distributor, Lakeland Dairy and Dryden Paper Mill, then he went to his lifetime career of working in the bush which brought both his sons into working side by side with him until Ron’s retirement.

Retirement saw Ron and Heidi move to Black Sturgeon where upon they met and made close friendships with many of their seasonal Manitoba residents. One very special relationship was made with Dean Goodsmanson, and also Wally & Penny, Danny & wife, Bruce & Lori, George & Jenny.

Ron spent his remaining years with his wife enjoying the solitude and peacefulness of lake life.

Celebration of Life will be held on Monday, March 20, 2017 at Brown Funeral Home & Cremation Centre at 1:00 p.m. with reception to follow also at Brown Funeral Home & Cremation Centre.
