Rejean Ronal will also be missed by his brother Donald and his sister Louise (Adrien Veilleux); and many brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces and many friends. He was predeceased by his parents Honorius Blouin and Regina (Boulanger), brothers Jocelyn, Rene and Andre, sisters Mariette, and Carmelle.
He was a wonderful dad and happy grand-pa. Everyone loved to spend time with him. He had a jolly personality with a definite smile to a laugh, always ready to help, giving, understanding, caring and attentive. He loved much and was loved much.
At the age of 17 Ron took over his father’s cobbler shop and operated it for 13 years. During those years, upholstery became the main source of revenue. From 1970 he worked as an Attendance Counsellor for the Hearst Board of Education. Went back to school and got certification from the Ontario Ministry of Education. Served the Hearst Board of Education for 17 years as an Attendance Counsellor while maintaining industrial upholstery as a side line. Resigned from the Hearst Board of Education in September 1987. Moved to St. Catherine ON to join his Brother Rene as a General Insurance Broker. In 1988, he applied for an Attendance Counsellor’s position that was advertised by the Sault-Ste-Marie Board of Education, got hired and worked for the Board until retirement in July of 2000. Retirement was filled with building wood projects and doing repairs and upholstery. He was a passionate sports fan, especially hockey, biking, skiing, and dancing. He loved gardening, reading and walking.

Chère Chantale et famille,
Un proverbe dit : “Les jours se suivent et ne se ressemblent pas”.
Il me semble que ça dit bien ce que vous vivez, dans ce départ imprévu et subit. de ton papa. Je viens de lire sa notice biographique et je te reconnais bien dans son dynamisme et sa joie de vivre.
Au nom de Françoise et Lorraine et des ursulines que tu connais, je tiens à te dire que nous participons à votre peine, à votre choc sans doute, à votre désarroi peut-être. Mais je suis sûre que son héritage de joie et de force dans les changements maheurs de sa vie, peut vous rassembler encore autour de lui. dans sa mort mais surtout dans sa vie éternelle. Avec toute notre amitié et notre prière, Les trois d’Amqui par Diane Foley osu
Chère Chantal,
Je désire te présenter mes plus sincères sympathies suite au départ de ton père. Mes prières t’accompagnent, ainsi que ta famille. Je ne l’ai pas connu, mais je sais que tu as hérité de son sourire qui semble communicatif. Que toi et ta famille puissent goûter à la paix donnée par le Christ !
Chère Chantal, je veux t’offrir mes sympathies pour le décès de ton père. Je les offre aussi aux membres de ta famille. Sois assurée de mes prières en ce jour difficile pour toi. Ton père a un beau sourire, je te revoie en son sourire et ta joie de vivre. Tu es chanceuse.
Avec mon amitié,
Yves Pelletier, prêtre
