Schultz, William Ronald “Ronnie”, age 79, of Halifax, died on July 6, 2016, in QEII Health Sciences Centre. He was a son of the late Ronald and Helen(Henn)Schultz. He was predeceased by his wife, Phyllis Jean(Martell)Shultz. Ronnie was a well-known figure at the Midtown Tavern where he worked as a cook for 32 years and made many friends. A dedicated and hard-worker, he was known for the delicious meals he prepared and friendly service. Ronnie was fondly remembered by the patrons long after his retirement 15 years ago. Prior to that he worked at the Dresden Arms for seven years and also worked at the Halifax Fish Plant and as a cook on the tugboats. Ronnie loved to travel with his beloved late wife Jean; their favourite trips being Hawaii and a tour of Europe. Later in life they enjoyed going on day trips throughout the province. He enjoyed playing cribbage and cards and made many friends at McKeen Manor and Northwood. Ronnie will be fondly remembered and missed by family and friends. To the owners of the Midtown Tavern, Ronnie had this to say(with a smile), “Keep the good food coming.” He is survived by his niece, Darlene Terrio, as well as several sisters and brothers-in-law, nieces and nephews.
