Ronald M. Johnston, in his 82nd year, of Hagersville, passed away peacefully on April 18, 2020 at Anson Place. Ron was born in New Toronto to Borden and Laura Johnston on August 10, 1938. Survived by his devoted wife of 62 years, Celestine and three children, Cathie (Gerry) Manning, Paul and Susan (Brad) Dunn. Dearly loved by 5 granddaughter’s and 6 great-grandchildren. Preceded in death by his sister Joan Burman, brothers George and Raymond Johnston and infant grandson. Survived by aunts and uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. Family was the most important thing in his life. Ron was an avid reader and was able to share this passion with others during his years working on the Oakville Public Library Bookmobile. The family of Ron wishes to extend our sincere thanks to Dr. Drijber and to the many wonderful staff that cared for him during his time there. Words cannot express the gratitude we have for the caregivers who have shown such love and compassion to him and the family. A mass in celebration of his life will be arranged at a later date. Arrangements by Hyde & Mott Chapel, Hagersville. www.rhbanderson.com

I had the honour and pleasure of knowing Ron at Anson Place. I could usually get a laugh from Ron during my day shift. I enjoyed speaking to Celestine when she visited Ron. We had a lot of good discussions on dementia and how a person changes. They were a very devoted couple. My deepest condolences to Celestine and family.

Words cannot describe the pain my heart feels without you here. You filled my life with so much love and showed me that a strong marriage and family is all that matters. I cherish the memories and hold you forever in my heart.
Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day.
Unseen, unheard but always near;
Still loved, still missed and very dear.
All my love Grandpa,
Sean, Candace, Isla and Benjamin
xoxo
