Very sorry for your loss. I always admired Pork's dedication to his family. I remember his girls never left home without a safety pack in the trunk of their cars. Also, his desire to provide a positive role model for his nephews and of course his love for his wife, Sharon. May he rest in peace.

Last month I volunteered to assist with the Forest curling clubs Christmas float. (My grandson is enrolled in the learn to curl program offered there).
As fate would have it, I also made several new friends in the process.
We were a small but determined group of parents and grandparents with high expectations and great energy. Last year's float had set the precident, so we knew we had to atleast equal that effort. It was a daunting task to say the least!
The first day was planning day and that was my first encounter with Ron. A group of us were all sitting around a large table at the shop. Exchanging ideas and concepts on how our Christmas float was going to look. Lights, garland, trees, music, even videos... we all wanted it to be spectacular!
With everyone’s creative juices flowing, we were well on our way to something very special. I remember every once in a while, Ron would chime in with some funny little remark, (in an effort to keep things light I suppose) and I remember looking across the table and saying, "l like this guy, we are going to get along just fine!"
The following day (with a little rest and inspiration), our group set out to create this year's Christmas masterpiece, under the caring and watchful eye of Ron. Everyone on the team (laser focused), knew what needed to get done. We were a well oiled machine!
Ron was there throughout the entire process, he took a great care and pride in what we were doing.
Throughout this process (for me personally), I knew I wasn't just building a float, I was building new friendships.
My time with Ron was brief, but it was time with him doing what he was passionate about. Being with family, friends and giving back to the community and I am richer for the experience.
Each of us chose to make our marks one way or another in our communities and Ron is certainly no exception. Each time I attend the Forest parade it will have a slightly different meaning for me. Cherish the time we have together with our family and the friends that we make along life's journey.
My deepest sympathy to the entire Shipley family
