He will be missed by grandchildren Sabrina, Matthew and Cameron.
Ron is survived by brother-in-law Walt Ubeika and sister-in-law Lil Ubeika,
Predeceased by parents Alexander and Sophia Shypula.
Ron was an avid golfer, 10-pin bowler, bridge and canasta player and in retirement an enthusiastic home chef. Around K-W, many knew Ron for his homemade perogies, cabbage rolls and soups.
We would like to thank the medical staff of ICU A for the attentive care Ron received. Our family is sincerely grateful to Dr. Rosenstein, nurses and other staff in the 7th floor hemodialysis unit at GRH. Ron fondly referred to his dialysis treatments as going to “work” three times a week. He enjoyed the banter with Dr. Rosenstein and always spoke highly of the staff and his friends in the unit.
At Ron’s wish, cremation has taken place. A celebration of Ron’s life for family and friends will be held on Sunday, April 7 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the clubhouse at Rockway Golf Course, 625 Rockway Dr., Kitchener. A tribute to Ron will be held at 2 p.m.
As expressions of sympathy, donations may be made to the Kidney Foundation of Canada.
