Ron believed he was a well-paid tourist, driving all over North American for H&R, Trans X, & other companies throughout his 40-year driving career Yanke Transport, honoured him for driving 4 million accident free miles. Ron was forced to retire due to illness. Ron loved his motorcycles... so much so that he wrote 3 of them off! A serious bike accident side-lined him July 2016. His sister moved him to Lethbridge to oversee his care at Good Samaritans West Highlands. Esophageal Cancer was the next bump in Ron’s life journey. Thank you to West Highlands, the Palliative Team for all their care & medical assistance and Access A Ride – his favorite new ride.
