Ron is survived by his siblings Danielle Dingledine (Liam Henese), Marie Poppa, Robert Poppa (Sidonia), Julie (Wayne) Mackey and Suzie (John) Smukavich and nieces and nephews.
Ron worked for many years with L'Arche Hamilton as a caregiver. He had a passion for gardening - he could make anything grow!
The family would like to thank the staff at Haldimand War Memorial Hospital and the Neurotrauma ICU at the Hamilton General Hospital for their excellent and compassionate care for Ron.
