He will be missed by his grandchildren Madison, Hunter, Tatum, Richard and Robert. Ron has reunited with his son Tom who tragically died in 1995. His generosity was endless as was his love for his family. Ron was born and raised in Toronto. He moved to St. Catharines in 1954 where he founded his company known today as Kane’s Distributing Ltd.
