Condolences

Hi everyone: We have wondering how you have been this past year. We missed an opportunity to join you for Christmas dinner, when we were visiting with your Mom. Please, next year for sure. My mom and I enjoyed every moment of Ron's memorial last year. There was so much I did not know or had forgotten. All the gathering of his life stories was so thoughtfully put together for us all to hear and visualize, thank you. When driving home after Ron's memorial, Howard said to me "how could such a quiet man lead such a colorful life?" I said, "he was a lot like our daughter, Hannah" He then understood. Your dad remains dear and warm in our hearts. Cindy, Edna and Howard XO

Joy, Wendi, Sandi, Kathi and Ronnie and Family: We are very sad to hear about your dear dad passing away. We were talking last night with my Mom about his ability to always bring lightness and fun to a room. I always had an eye out for your Dad, when in his company. You just never knew when he was going to pull a fast and funny. I think of him and his relationship with your Mom and how they stayed such wonderful soulmates, a role model to everyone. Your Dad was a unique man in the sense that he was so adaptable to what came his way. Very uncommon for someone from our parents generation. His youthful soul will not be forgotten. We hope that the fond memories that you share as a family, will give you strength. Regards, Cindy Mott, Howard Mott and Edna Harris

I was fortunate to know Ron back in the 60"s. My husband and I spent many good times with Ron & Joy in the Sgts.Mess at the Dundas Armouries. When my husband died suddenly, Ron was there for me and my family. I will never forget the support and love he gave my boys and myself. I'd like to think that Ron and Don are reunited in heaven where all good soldiers go.

I only met Ron once or twice he was a person a had an instant liking to. It is said that you are who you surround yourself with and i know Sandi, Tony and Joy well enough to know that Ron must have been as intelligent , generous, and funny as those three. I remember many beauiful Stories of Ron and the light that shone when sandi and joy would talk about him i also remembering that these stories described a great visionary...a man with high expectations that seemed to meet his goals. Great respect and love is what i hold for the Cross/Clements family. My heart hurts for you today but remember the spirit never dies but lives on with you forever...bless your hearts my dear friends.
