On Sunday November 8, 2020, Ronald K. Smith passed away at the age of 87 with his wife, Rev. Catherine Anne Stone and his children, David and Cynthia by his side.

He was the Vice President of HV Chapman and worked for MSL International before starting his own business, Ronald Kenneth Smith Consulting Limited. Ron spent many years volunteering for the Rural Outreach Centre, acting as the treasurer. He enjoyed fly fishing, spending time outdoors, boating and cottaging, and listening to opera. Ron tragically lost his first wife, Denyse Gosselin to cancer in 1975, but found love again ten years later in Catherine Stone. He leaves behind his two children, David (Betsie Campion) and Cynthia (Andrew Schulze) and his four grandchildren, Austin (Maggie Hitchon), Avery, Alex, and Denise.
