Passed away suddenly in Brockville on February 3, 2024 in his 85th year. Beloved husband of the late Rona Ann Quackenbush (nee Shipman) for 64 years. Loving father to son John of Chase, BC, and daughter Carolin Albers (Rick) of Iroquois, ON. Special Grandpa to April, Hannah (Johnathon Ferguson) and Heidi, and great Grandpa to Ashton. Dear son of Eli and Evelyn Quackenbush. He is survived by his brother-in-law Mike Parker of Victoria BC and predeceased by his sister Marilyn Ann. He is also predeceased by brothers- and sisters-in-law Jimmy and Dimples Shipman, Irene and Bob Parker, Jessie Shipman, Garnet and Bernice Shipman, and Leora and Bill Froome. He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews, and his dear friends from River Road.
Born in Ottawa ON, Ron grew up in Millars Corners alongside his sister Marilyn and parents. He married Rona in May 1960 and built their home on River Road in Kemptville where they resided until September 2016. Ron was employed at the Ministry of Transportation where he drove snow plow for 29 years. Upon retirement he took up driving fertilizer spreaders for Harvex and odd trucking jobs for the township. He was an avid gardener, bird watcher, and renowned for the beautiful woodworking pieces he created in his workshop. He was a man of wisdom and always seemingly had the answer to anyone’s question.
Upon Ron’s request, there will be no service. Special thanks to St. Lawrence Lodge in Brockville for the wonderful care given for the past month, and to Kemptville District Hospital’s care for three months prior. For those wishing, donations to the Heart & Stroke Foundation are gratefully accepted.
