Parcourez la nécrologie de Ron L MacDonald August 24 1936 March 24 2024 résidant dans la province Colombie britanique pour le détail des funérailles.
It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the loss of a wonderful man, – our father, Ron L. MacDonald, who passed away March 24 at 87. He is survived by his two daughters, Cheryl (Ian) MacMillan and Kathleen (Richard) Hill, his two beautiful grandchildren, Andrew and Rachel, and his first wife and love, Myra Faye MacDonald. Ron is predeceased by his father, John (Pete) and mother Opal, brothers Gerry and Ricky, and his second wife, Jeanne Stannard.
Raised in Victoria, Ron attended SJ Willis (class president in grade 8) and Mt. View High School. He excelled in baseball and boxing, almost obtaining his golden glove. To help the family, he had to start working at a young age, delivering papers, picking fruits & vegetables at local farms and feeding rabbits. At 12, being slight in stature, he proved himself strong enough to work at the old Jam factory on Quadra St., lifting 100lb bags of sugar. At 14, he started working at MacDonald’s Furniture. He continued working there while putting himself through college, majoring in mathematics and at 24, became director of sales and marketing. After 3 years at UVic, while being a member of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, he took the Real Estate Course which then led him to a 3yr course at UBC for Commercial Appraising. He then received his RIBC and F.R.I. Designations. In 1974, he became the youngest Real Estate office manager in Canada. Ron always told us that ‘knowledge gives you confidence’ and his extensive knowledge enabled him to have an impressive real estate career.
Ron had a love for helping people, and a mind to make things happen. He was involved in many high-profile transactions and developments. His honesty, integrity and loyalty to his clients were second to none and was how he met many of his closest friends. At 86, he sadly hung up his license after 55 years and after many of his latter years working with his daughter.
Ron was our father, our mentor, our supporter and our friend and we will miss him immensely, until the day we meet again.
There will be a COL mingle with light refreshments on August 9th, at UVic’s University Club at 6:30pm. Please RSVP to ronmacdonaldscelebration@gmail.com by June 30th.
In Lieu of Flowers, consider donations to the Alzheimer Society or Ronald McDonald House.
