Dear Ron French Family,
Our sincerest condolences to you.
We are saddened to learn of the passing of Ron. He was always such a happy guy.
Ron grew the best corn in the Bolton area. Many years ago, I remember taking two dozen of Ron’s corn, on the plane, to Vancouver, to Kelly (Ron’s daughter)
I was going to BC. to visit our our son, Kevin. Kelly, was also living in BC, and craved some of her “Dad’s home grown Corn”!
So, I called Ron, and he gladly delivered the corn to our home, and off we flew to Vancouver, Corn and all!
Kelly really enjoyed, her Dad’s corn that was sent to Kelly, with his love!
Great Memories!
Rest in Peace, Ron.
Hugs, Barry and Sharon O’Sullivan
Mount Forest, Ontario.

Dear Barb and the whole family
