WOOTTEN, Ronald John - It is with sadness, that the family accepts the passing of Ronald John Wooton, on August 19, 2019.
A resident of Scarborough, he is survived by his beloved Meraj, his spouse of 25 years, stepson Aamir (Junbo), his daughter Karen Wootton, grandson Joshua, sister Lynda Grant (Bob) and brother Kenneth. Predeceased by his daughter Kimberley Wootton and his parents Harold and Isabella Wootton.
Ron was born in North Bay and worked for Bell Canada for 31 years.
In 2012, he was the recipient of the Queen Elizabeth Jubilee medal for his community involvement over many years, as well the Urban Hero Award in 2013.
He was the family handyman, tutored by his father. He could fix or rig up anything to keep it going.
Always respectful, sentimental and a person to be counted on. His fight with cancer finally ended as he set sail into the sunset and smiled back at his family and friends.
