CARTER, Ronald F.  – 

September 8, 1932 – October 26, 2023

“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint (Isaiah 40: 31).”

Peacefully, at Queen’s Garden Long Term Residence in Hamilton, where he was cared for with exceptional dignity and grace during his final days.

Ron leaves behind his wife of 41 years, Deborah Gray; daughter, Leslie (John Skain); and sons, Bradley (Lesley McLean) and Sean (Nicole Drimmie); along with seven amazing grandchildren.

He is survived by his brother, Allan (Sonia); sister, Norma Linton; nephews, Graham, Randall, and Fraser Linton and their wonderful families; along with mother-in-law, Barbara Gray; and sister-in-law, Carolyn Richards.

After retirement, Ron kept busy driving a school bus in Oakville, which opened up a new world of friends and fun.

In his sixties, he took up gourmet cooking and even got his motorcycle license to keep up with his wife.

Ron was a long-time member of Knox Presbyterian Church Oakville and enjoyed Knox Waterdown in later years. An abiding faith in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ sustained Ron through life’s trials, giving him an optimistic, easy-going nature.

Ron will be dearly missed.

A celebration of life will be held on Sunday, November 12, starting from 1:00 p.m. – 4 p.m. at Antrim Glen, 1264 Concession 8 West, Flamborough. Please contact the family for more details.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be given to the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides (www.dogguides.com).
