Ron passed peacefully January 10, 2021 after a courageous battle with cancer. No one loved life more than Ron.
He is mourned by his devoted wife Gillie, his grandchildren Crystal, Shandi and Gregory Mattice, Christopher, Cassandra and Brynn Edgar as well as his great grandchildren Braelynn, Alyssa and Myla and his step sons Dean and Tom Edgar.
He is missed by his brother Bob and sister Sharon Lewis (Bob) and his extended family. His friends, Euchre players, Art Club and all who knew him, remember his good humour and enthusiasm for any social occasion
Ron worked as a sales rep for a variety of food and drug companies, he loved golf, refereed football, fund raised with service clubs and loved to travel. He led a full and comfortable life.
I would like to thank the wonderful people at Hospice Simcoe for their kindness and care in Ron’s final days.

Posted on: Wednesday, January 20, 2021I am sad to hear the news about Ron. My condolences go out to all his family. I Ron and I took confirmation lessons together 65 years ago but then our lives changed and we lost touch. I didn’t know his middle name was my Dad’s, Ron’s uncle.

Posted on: Saturday, January 30, 2021I’m curious how his two real flesh and blood sons have been left out. He spent the last 40 years living a wonderful life with everyone who mattered to him, hence Greg and Grant Mattice get forgotten and ignored . Yes he was my father and the dad I never had. Everyone was more important than his own sons. I hope your in heaven and have to explain yourself and your sins. Theres no foriegn exchange students to take priority over talking with your son . You got through life never having to explain yourself to me and never once in my 53 yrs did you ever say you loved me….so long
