I am so sorry for your loss. Ron will be greatly missed. It’s a sad time when we lose the one we love and cherish. May God fill your emptiness with hope and comfort from his promises found in his Word that soon there will be no more sickness and pain, the former this have passed away. (Revelation 21:4) I pray that these verses will bring comfort during this most difficult time.
I worked with Ron cleaning sewers when he worked for the City. He always said I couldn’t quit until he retired. My condolences to the family.

Glenda, Dean, and families:
We would like to extend our sympathy to the Sangster family. Ron fought a very hard fight. It seems like not to long ago I saw him driving his chair downtown. Cherish the memories! We enjoyed having Glen and June as neighbors for years.
