<div itemprop="description">BRYCE, Ronald Campbell (Ron)<br /><br />passed peacefully away in his 95th year on Tuesday, July 21, 2015 at The Waterford senior's home in Tsawwassen, BC. Ron was born on August 8, 1920 in Saskatchewan, where he lived in various places with his close and loving family including three brothers, Hugh, Arthur and Alistair (all deceased), and sister Muriel (now Pritchard). <br /><br />He studied mechanical engineering at the University of Saskatchewan, interrupted by his service in the Navy during WWII, then returned to study Business Administration and Industrial Relations at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. Ron worked for Ontario Hydro for most of his career, with a short time at Atomic Energy of Canada (AECL!). <br /><br />He was married to Mary (Fidler), who he met on a tennis court, and with whom he had four children, Bob, Bill (deceased), Marilyn and Katy, 11 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren. He took early retirement from Ontario Hydro and bought a farm near Chesley, Ontario, from where they began to travel to Florida for the winters. <br /><br />Ron and Mary moved to Tsawwassen in 1988, where he was an active member of St. David's Anglican Church as well as the Lawn Bowling Club and the Legion. Throughout his life, he was also a keen (and competitive) curler and tennis player and loved to be in the outdoors, fishing and camping. Due to his great sense of humour and the ability to laugh, especially at himself, Ron was an asset to any gathering. His love of singing, which he shared with his whole family, brought much joy, and sometimes tears. He participated in choirs, both in his places of residence in Canada and in his winter home in Estero, Florida, and could always be counted on to contribute a rendition of Harry Lauder's &quot;She's the Lass for Me&quot;. His Scottish heritage also made the appreciation of a wee dram a must, and was the only medication he took for most of his life! <br /><br />We raise a glass of cheer to celebrate this kind, generous, tolerant and wonderful man, Ron Bryce! <br /><br /></div>
