Ronald Alfred McCutcheon

Born in Carman Manitoba on October 3, 1951, Ron accomplished many things -- in his early life he acquired his heavy duty mechanic license and worked in northern Alberta for Caterpillar, later he got deeply involved in being a high school basketball coach, which led to him then becoming an assistant and for one year the head coach of the national champion Brandon University Bobcats basketball team. His love for teaching led to him getting his teacher certification and he enjoyed teaching younger people in high school. In addition to his work life and his involvement in sports, which included being a key leader of the Edmonton Oilers fan club at one point, Ronald enjoyed several hobbies that included fishing, camping, rock hunting and working his placer claim in Northern BC. Ron was full of life and enjoyed teasing and laughing.
