Our condolences to the family. Ron will be greatly missed but remembered forever. He was a great golfer, very community minded, smart and forever caring. He helped my Dad recover from a big hurdle in life with a kind gesture of putting a “General’s Tree” sign on a tree. Hugs to you all.

Condolences to the Thomas family and to our Six Nations community on the loss of Mr. Thomas. He recently joined our SN book club to talk about lacrosse. I’m glad I got to tell him that me and my brother were his biggest fans when his lacrosse games were televised on channel 11 about 55 years ago. I’m going to miss seeing him out and about in the community.

Condolences to all the families. He will always be remembered. I remember the days when he was a teacher at J.C. Hill school in Grade 7, my marks improved. Always greeted people and was kind. No more suffering now. From Bonnie Davis and family.
