My thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Ron brought much laughter into many people’s lives. He will be missed by all. My sincere condolences.
Jason Simpson
Dad. alot of ppl on here . Thanks for having so many friends giving us so much support. Moved home from T bay yesterday. Thank you everyone.
Tracey Lightfoot
“Shelly”, Jason & Jordan,
All my thoughts, prayers, and LOVE go out to you. Simpy lives on… his humour, wit, INAPPROPRIATENESS (that we all love), and his internal gentle nature will be with you, and all of us for years to come.
One thing that I loved about Simp is that he never left a person unnoticed. Even if it was months inbetween from not having seen him, he always made a big deal about my presence and found a way to make me feel special for being there. (Even if it was him testing the waters with me, seeing how much he could dish out…especially in front of my boyfriend). That’s what I really loved and admired about him. He had a light-hearted nature to him, knew how to make us all laugh, but was so tender and loving on the inside.
The last time I spoke with him since I saw him in person this summer was on facebook. I had posted a status saying “I’m officially an idiot. I’m sick as a dog and running a 10km race today”. All my friends were posting things like “good luck”, and “you can do it”….and the last comment I received, in pure Simpy fashion stated “I always knew you were an idiot”.
Gotta love him.
It was a pleasure growing up with Ron and your family.
Lots of love to you all!
Love, Tracey Lightfoot

Sherri, Jason, and Jordan:

Thank you Ron, for being a friend to so many!
You will be missed, but never forgotten, you will always be in our hearts. This world was a better place because you were here! You are now in a new season of your life, where there is no sorrow, no pain, and you get to see your loved ones who have gone on before you. Until we meet again, so long for now…
God bless you Sherrie, Jordan, and Jason…May Jesus, our Lord and Saviour, comfort you and continue to supply all your needs according to His riches in glory ….
Love as always, Aunt Kathy Simpson…

Dear Sherrie. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I only found out about Ron’s passing yesterday while I was talking to my sister. While my memories of Ron are rather old – it was rather strange to see myself in one of the photos – I do remember many post- baseball game celebrations being held in Ron’s dad’s garage! His infectious smile will be sorely missed by everyone!

Dearest Sherrie, Jason and Jordan …
All I can think of is the laughter and love Ron left behind for everyone to enjoy … it will be a difficult road ahead, but in time, those fabulous memories you have of dear Ron will be what comforts you.
Those things that annoyed you the most over the years :) will be what you find most endearing when you think of him now.
You were so blessed to have such a great man in your lives (even for a short time) … feel blessed and know that he will be by your side every step of the way in YOUR journey of life … you will never be alone.
God Bless and Memory Eternal

I will miss him driving around checking up on us working away on what ever we were doing !! We ar thinking of you all in this difficult time.
Sincerly,
Mike & Marlee Herbert

My memories of Ron were from playing ball and hanging out at the arena watching hockey. He always had a quick dry wit about him when he spoke. He always made me smile when I saw him.
I’ll miss that. My sympathies go to the whole family.
Peace I leave unto you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Ron, I have many good memories of you, from when we were younger, and hanging out around Clandeboye. You always had a big smile and always said something to crack everyone around you up. I will miss seeing you at the Lumber Yard, at Langford’s, when you would pop in for some lumber. We sure did have a lot of good parties “up on the hill”. Our thoughts are with your wife and boys right now, this is such a tough thing to go through, You will be sorely missed Ron, thanks for all the laughs. Don Morgan

Dear Sherrie, Jordan and Jason: Like so many, we are at a real loss for words. As many friends have echoed, Simpy was the ‘best of the best’ – never thinking of himself over others. He brought out the best in all of us and didn’t even realize he was doing it! With our sincerest sympathy.

Ron was very special to us and is going to be missed dearly. Ron had a heart of gold, he was always there for anyone that needed a helping hand, We will never forget him. We will treasure every memory we had with Ron,epecially the year I spent with him..pretty much everyday, I would get a call in the morning, usually around 8:30am Ron would ask “Nat do you have an appointment or errands to run today? or what would you like to do today?” I will cheerish those memories forever. We love you Ron! Take care. The Lingiers (god damn neighbours)

So sorry to hear about Ron’s passing…it has been along time since I have seen him but I remember him from working at Lankin’s gas station. He always had a smile and a teasing way about him. That sense of humour is a quality that few possess and should be treasured always…may it bring you and yours, peace.

We’re very sorry to hear of your loss. Please accept our sincere condolences.
George Mark
Dear Sherrie and sons, Please accept my deepest sympathy at the sudden loss of your husband, Ron. After all the years of working with Ron he could still catch me out when I would come into the shop to give him a bawling out for something and he would be standing there with that silly grin on his face. Then you would realize that, “You got me again, Simpson!” and he would take off before we started a wrestling match. He will be sorely missed. George Mark, Maple Ridge, BC.

My heart is breaking at the terrible news….Sherrie, Jason and Jordan, along with Bonnie, Norm and family…my sincere condolences go out to you all today at the loss of one of Lucan’s most loved man. Ron was a one of a kind guy who lit up a room when he walked in. His humour and actions always left you laughing. I have many fond memories of him which I will hold dear forever. His wit and huge heart are just a few of the many great qualities the old buggar had. I will always remember the encouragement he gave me these past few years when starting my cake decorating business, whether it was a comment of good job, or something rude in Simpy style…I knew that it was genuine and he appreciated it. He will be missed by so many people, but never forgotten either. My heart goes out to you all….one of Lucan’s finest. I will miss you Ron
