Ronnie spent his 42-year career as an Electrician working for T.D. Chiasson Electric, Provincial Electric, Univex Canada and his last 25 years before retiring, working with his brother Bob at Bond & Coolen Electric.

Ron’s retirement was well spent doing what he loved which was spending time with his family. Whether it be the Timmy’s breakfast run with Chris and Jim, a dog run with Darrell or working around the “Bond Compound” helping out with many building projects that have been completed over the years along side his good friend Byrt; as well as any repairs that were needed. He was the maintenance, snow removal and yard property guy; the man to call whether it was to go on a parts run for C & D Bond Forestry; a bike hauled home because it broke and couldn’t finish the run; from school shuttle to a chauffeur, Ron’s service was always A-1. He was there for all of us when we needed him.

Ron enjoyed Florida vacations with family, Nascar races with his friends and several trips to Newfoundland with his brothers and Uncles.
