​
Ron had an interesting life and touched the lives of many during his 72 years - born April 29, 1948.
 
Ron was a very talented house painter for many years and always enjoyed his clients.  He loved to fish, ride his mountain bike, read his many, many books, his artwork and his awesome attempts at photography.  Music was also an important part of his life and brought him so much enjoyment and peacefulness.  When we visited we would listen to John Michael Talbot - one of his very favourite artists. As a man who loved the Lord, he had a special way of smiling and making us smile through all his trials and tribulations.  He was loved by all of his caregivers as they expressed how much joy he brought to them. 
 
Ron is the loving step-father of Jessica Wagler (Keith) and father of Kevin Lang.  Proud Papa of Ty and Madyson Wagler.  Beloved friend (ex-husband) of Laurie Wells (nee Bartlett). We will all miss him dearly. He is survived by his mother June Lang, sister Brenda Silverson and predeceased by his father Frank Lang and by his sister Susan Lang.
 
The family would like to thank all the wonderful staff of The Village at University Gates for their kind and gentle care and for being with Ronnie when we could not.
 
Cremation has taken place and a private family Celebration of Life will be held.
