I remember so many celebrations and barbeque s at gramma & grampa campbells. Complete with uncle Ronnie and aunty Betty playing euchre and drinking grammas home made wine!
One such visit I remember when we were teenagers we had walked over to aunty Diane’s and I had remarked on the beautiful tiger lilies that grew alongside the road. Uncle Ronnie went into the reeds and picked me an armful to take home with us! I was so tickled!
I had not seen him in more recent times but he will live on in my sweet memories of my youth before we were all forced to grow up.

Our deepest condolences go to Brent, Mandy, Alyssa and Maya on the passing of your Dad/ father-in-law/ Poppa. You all will have the greatest memories of sharing time with him, especially at the lake. (And I remember seeing him smiling occasionally when I bumped into him at the casino).
Sincerely,
Bob and Lee Anne Bilodeau

Brent, Tara and families! My condolences. I have great memories of your mom and dad. We used to play cards together and drove together to church. He always made me laugh. His saying was “ By Gad”. R.I.P.
Hugs to all. Frances

On behalf of my brother Greg Schoenherr and my sister Wendy Normand-Geoffroy and family, I would like to extend my sincere condolences to Tara and Brent and families. Uncle Ronnie had such a great sense of humour and loved to laugh and tell stories. He was very close to my mom Dianne Schoenherr and would always drop by to visit her and tell his stories. Take comfort that he is at peace now and reunited with his wife Betty and his brothers and sisters. Our prayers are with you. Love from Sue Spirak and family

Deepest sympathies to our daughter Mandy and son in law Brent. We admire your courage and dedication these past few years. Ron was truly taken care of by you with love and compassion. Alyssa and Maya were alwaysbamazingly helpful with their "Poppa".

Uncle Ron was so much a part of my growing up in Edwards. Depending on how much he wanted his back scratched, would be reflected in the amount of money he would give you to do it. We quickly learned NEVER to pull his finger....always resulted in a big fluffy -- it was his trademark joke for ages. I thought him owning a race horse was so awesome. Aunt Diane and I would go see and feed the horse every chance we had. Playing cards with Uncle Ron and Grandpa John was one of the loudest and funniest experiences.
Love you Uncle Ron....rest in the hands of the Lord now.
Love from your niece,
Ruth Campbell-Colley.
