After moving to Regina in 1953, he started working at Sears where he had a long and successful career working his way up to Merchandising Superintendent for Western Canada. He spent his final working years as the Manager of the Sears Clearance Centre. Ron married his sweetheart in 1955, and they recently celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary. Ron enjoyed vacationing at the family cottage at White Bear Lake, and later at Regina Beach. He was an active member of Faith Baptist Church.
