I am very, very late with this! I just discovered Rons passing and am sad. Sad that I had lost touch with a friend and good person. Ron and I went to University of Western and had many memorable times. I could always count on Ron when life got bumpy which it always does. The reason I was thinking of Ron is because he carved a totem pole for me which I still have at a cabin in BC. I was looking at it and remembering all those late nights at the Wheat Sheif Tavern in Toronto. Thought I would try to look him up but am late. I still have those memories. If this makes it to his family and kids and they want to contact me that would be special.

So saddened to hear about Ron Munro from a former colleague. He was an outstanding sales manager and taught me about customer psychology when I was a western rookie sales rep at Nelson in the early 90's. I still remember his 10 commandments of committee selling! He was honest and gave constructive feedback to his sales people. I was surprised and moved at the last day of our Nelson sales conference when he sang a beautiful song with his guitar. Ron was such a presence and a force in this world. I am sure that he is content and at peace in the next world.

I worked with Ron at both Nelson Canada and again at McGraw Hill Ryerson but didn’t realize then that there was a whole other side to Ron: the musician, gardener and carpenter. I am grateful I had the opportunity to know both sides of Ron and from him I have learned that happiness comes from pursing the things that bring you joy. My deepest condolences to Megan, Scott and Ron’s family and friends.

My deepest sympathies to Ron's family. Ron hired me at McGraw-Hill and I enjoyed his direct approach. I was the lone "Finance" person in his sales and marketing division. He immediately made me feel part of his team and I credit him for teaching me the sales side of the business. May you rest in peace, Ron.

We are all sadden my the loss of a great ambassador for all of Dufferin County, Mr Ron Munro. A great mentor for many of us, through business connections, industrial missions and new economical adventures both in tourism and industry. He was best known as a friend and a great community volunteer and we, the Town of Shelburne family are going to miss Ron's input and guidance. Ron served as an Shelburne EDC member up until this past year. He was a leader, finding a positive way to get real answers and real results. To Ron's family, we pass our most sincere condolences and our heartfelt thanks for sharing this great man with the community. By way of tribute, we had a moment of silence in Ron's honour at our Council meeting last night. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of mourning.

I am deeply saddened at the loss of a great community friend and Chamber of Commerce colleague. As Ron's Vice President and then as he was my past President I always knew I could count on Ron for insight and knowledge and come to a conclusion together that was in the best interest of all those involved. I know he always had the best interest of his community at heart and wanted everyone in it to be successful.. Rest in peace my friend. You will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Megan and Scott at this time.

Ron has been an invaluable advisory and friend to me during the development of strategic plans for Grand Valley. He did drag me into politics which is concerning, but his insights and wisdom were critical on a number of occasions. I have lost a friend and colleague which deeply saddened me. My prayers are with the family during this time.
