A lifelong resident of Squamish Ron spent his early days in the Pacific Coast Militia Rangers before working on the railroad, then spent a three year stint in the Air Force. His career shifted to the logging industry and he founded Ron McCormack Log Hauling. Ron’s passion for logging continued until his final days, when at the age of 91 he was still removing stumps and riding his tractor mower around the yard. In retirement Ron could be found walking the dyke with his other passion, his dogs. He also spent his time travelling with Carmen to their favourite hotspots and when at home he could be found collecting and sorting cans for donation. Ron greatly thanks those who participated in helping him donate in excess of $30,000 to BC Children’s Hospital and Canuck Place.
Ron’s family would like to thank the staff at Squamish Hospital for their care and attention.
