Parcourez la nécrologie de Ronald Ron Smith Saturday December 9th 2023 résidant dans la province Ontario pour le détail des funérailles
The family announces with profound sadness the passing of Ronald Smith on Saturday December 9, 2023 at 90 years young at the Timmins and District Hospital. He was predeceased by his wife of 60 years Hélène Smith (née Lessard). He is survived by his children Louise Hughes (Mark), Marc Smith and Julie Lacourse (Ray); his grandchildren Jessica Hughes (Austin Wareham), Stephanie Hughes (late Ian Vandaelle) and Emma Lacourse and his great-granddaughter Melanie Piemontese.
Ron was born and raised in Kapuskasing to Hildege (Al) Smith and Exilia (Zélia) Morel. As an adult, he lived in Plantagenet, Kapuskasing and Ottawa until finally settling down in Timmins in 1970.
Ron worked as a bookkeeper for many years and enjoyed his time at the Timmins Board of Education prior to joining Firestone and finally Timmins Tire Sales “Good Year”, where he retired in the late 1990’s. He was an avid snooker player and had a witty sense of humour. He relished his cottage time with the Ouimette’s; fishing with Phil and savoring Marie’s fish and chips. A true gentleman and gentle man, Ron was loved by all who knew him. He spent much of his retirement as a snowbird traveling to Florida, socializing with friends at the Timmins Senior Recreation Center and driving cars for Timberland Ford. He was a man of great faith and a proud member of the Knights of Columbus. We find comfort in knowing that he is now reunited with the love of his life.
The family would like to extend their sincere thanks to the numerous staff at the Timmins & District Hospital Hospice department during his brief stay and all of those who cared for him in his final months.
As per his wishes, cremation has taken place and further services will be planned for the Spring. In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory to the Timmins and District Hospital ICU or the Lord’s Kitchen would be greatly appreciated. The funeral arrangements are entrusted with the LESSARD Funeral and Cremation Centre.
