I tried calling my dear Ron Forbes at the last number I had for him in Toronto. When it was clear I had a wrong number I googled his name for Sauble Beach and only then realized that Ron has passed away. I spoke to him several months ago and I was very shocked to hear that he had passed away. Ron was an extraordinary person who had a great sense of humour and a laughter that I will always remember. I will never forget the warmth and empathy he had for animals which he demonstrated throughout his life. Mother nature lost a good friend with Ron's passing. I will miss his friendship and many acts of kindness. During the period I lived on the Bruce Peninsula I counted Ron among the best of my friends and I will miss him dearly. I am very shocked by this news and extend my sincerest condolences to his family and all those people who will remember Ron for the amazing person he was.

So sorry to hear of Ron's passing. He always held a special place in my heart because when we were very young, he was always so kind and thoughtful towards me and I never forgot that. He had a way of making you feel special. That is quite a rare gift. I am picturing him with his dad with animals all around him.
My heartfelt sympathies go out to Ron's family and to Rose. May your many memories of him bring you peace.

We were deeply saddened to learn of Ron's passing. We had only known Ron for a few years but his kind and gentle soul touched us. His love and compassion for animals was greatly respected by Mark and I. If more people cared about other living creatures the way Ron did the world would be a better place. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to Ron's family and friends.

A great friend of over 50 years with so many good memories that will always be with us in our thoughts. It is ironical that Ron and I went on our first holiday trip together to Florida when we were just 16 years old. Yesterday, as I sat by a Palm tree in that same Florida, the phone rang and it was the news of the sad passing of Ron.
I immediately remembered the good times of a couple of teenagers back in the 60's in Stuart, Florida, the many winters as pen pals, and the many good years of summers as best friends at Sauble Beach.
Life has suddenly changed for us and everyone that knew him.
He will never be forgotten by me, especially on August 8th of every year.
Sincerely, John and Myrna

My condolences to the family and friends of Ron.
Although I may have met him only a handful of times and those times when I was just a child, he will always play a part in what my Mother taught me about being kind towards others.
My mother Penelope told me of Ron and his love of animals and how he would take them in and help them (which was something they had in common) and I remember a particular winter when I was little, my mother packed a large Christmas stocking full of little gifts and things for the animals he had taken in. We drove to his home and hung it on his mailbox with a tag that said "From Santa".
When I became of the age to start questioning if "Santa" was real or not, my mother without hesitation said he was real. When I got older she explained to me that he lives in all of us and when we do things for others without expecting a return, that is what Santa is all about. Just like Ron being a friend to those in need, four legged and two legged, and her hanging that stocking; helped me to understand the spirit of giving.
Rest easy Ron.

To: Rose, Madeline and family. I offer my deepest condolences to all. I enjoyed a long talk with Ron a few days before his passing. I still am in shock and will miss seeing and chatting with him anymore. I knew Ron a long time as we worked together on many construction projects. We also did many a road trip around the country looking at machinery, trucks etc. It was an honour and a privilege to have known Ron all these years. Rest in peace my dear friend, till we meet again. with sincere sympathy, Murray Mole

I would like to send my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Ron. I have fond memories of visiting him as a kid with my Dad Murray Mole. He was a great friend to him. I always enjoyed riding in parades at the beach, playing in the sand on the floats with his big old dump truck pulling us along. I am sad to hear of his sudden passing, Rest in peace Ron....Beverly,Greg,Emma & Victoria Simons
