Ronald Eric Smith

Ron was predeceased by his parents Eric and Louise Smith and on March 19, 2020, by his beloved wife Evelyn Smith. Ron completed his plastering apprenticeship in 1952 and created beautiful, plastered ceilings. With the start of his young family, he changed careers. He was employed as a Mail Carrier with Canada Post for 33 years before he retired. During the years of raising his family, he was a member of St. John’s Lodge and the Scottish Rite. He was an Usher and Captain at Tiger Cat Football Games and a long time Green Bay Packer fan. After retirement he did a lot of travelling to England, Yellowstone Park, the Caribbean and went on several cruises to Alaska with his wife Evelyn. Fondly remembered were the many family parties including picnics and camping trips. Ron was a gentle soul with a smile that will be missed by many. A child of God has gone home.
