Ron injects his surroundings with positive, happy energy. I met him through, Latifa’s (my wife’s) excellent friend and classmate Nadia. In the years since, he was there for me in at very important and critical time when I needed a close confidant. The time I spent with Ron was much too short. My feeling of loss is poignant and profound. To Nadia, family and friends, I trust that Ron’s nature and essence will help us remember him and support each other in the years to come.
With much love and support, Peter and Latifa

Sergio DePinto
We were shocked and in absolute sadness having heard the news of Ron’s passing. An offering of words cannot adequately express the sympathy we wish to convey to Nadia and her family, Maura , Nicole and Blake, and their respective families. Ron was a long time friend who shared his trials and victories with us. He was an open book who gave from the soul to all that knew him; a man who never hesitated at the opportunity to help others. He will always have a place in our hearts and will not be forgotten for his good works.
Our deepest sympathies for your loss.
Sergio, Nella and Michael DePinto

Felix Tan
My wife – Nikki – and I are shocked and saddened by Ron’s sudden passing. Words just does not seem enough to express our sorrow.
I first met Ron when he and I went on a retreat together during high school. Fate had our paths cross through Nadia who is my friend and classmate through our Master’s Program. From my earliest memory of Ron from our days on retreat to recent memories with Ron and Nadia as a family, Ron had always been a positive impact on those around him and I always thought the world was a better place with him in it. His loss will be deeply felt.
To Nadia, and both her and Ron’s families, Please accept our.support and deepest condolences at your loss. Our prayers are with you.
Felix and Nikki Tan

My deepest sympathy to Ron’s family. His passing is a tragic loss.
Ron and I were not close, but the times we shared were always memorable. He was unique. Ron’s intense focus was always cut with a sharp humour that was the basis for many aching belly laughs.
