Dearest Ron My sweetheart, my friend. We are molded together by the Grace of God. I miss you so. Your words of encouragement, wisdom, strength, your drive and your Love. Our walks,our picnics, our fishing trips, our special celebrations, our talks. I miss your phone calls and emails, to check to see how my day was. I miss your voice, your touch, your smile. I miss all of you. I miss you being close at hand. My heart aches for you. You were dedicated to all, before yourself. Loving you always,and forever, Jeanette xoxoxoxo

Dearest Ron,
I am in absolute shock at your passing.
You were like my Dad-away-from Dad.... I’ll never forget our weekly dinners to watch The Apprentice and to watch the Canucks lose most of their games. You had a wonderful sense of humour and were always so positive about things in life, you even talked positively about death, which we had many, many in depth discussions about. I remember how gentle and kind you were to my girls, even when they were being little monsters and we were missing parts of our shows ;) You helped me through some very personal problems that I never would have made it through without your guidance and advice. You were always there for me... any time of any day.
My biggest regret in life so far has been to lose touch with you over the last few years. There are not a lot of things in life that I regret because, as a result, I’ve learned lessons from them. This has been my hardest lesson learned and one I wouldn‘t wish on anyone. Life is too short and it was most certainly too short for you.
I pray that you are in that happy place you so looked forward to and that one day, I will get the chance to sit and laugh with you again.
I love you and will miss you,
Tanya Oliveira

I grew up across the street from Ron and I have many fond memories of him from when I was about 8. He always talked to me with the utmost respect, like he valued my 8 year old opinions. He once paid for me to take a ride on a mechanical pony because he saw that I couldn't take my eyes off of it. I also remember him chewing on toothpicks and chiding him that he should only do that in his house and not in public. I am so sad that he has left this earth so young but it seems like he was ready to go to a better place.

Message from Todd Hooge

I'm so sorry to hear that Ron passed, and in shock. He taught me the meaning of the word "grace." He taught me how to convert adversity into a happy thought.

I will miss our deep conversations about life, and playing the "conga bongas" to the Bee Gees together over a nice glass of wine after a big dinner. I hope he can find time to teach some people up there how to play those things by the time I get there. I look forward to that session.

From a beautiful song by U2, called Grace:

"What once was hurt
What once was friction
What left a mark
No longer stings
Because grace makes beauty
Out of ugly things

Grace makes beauty out of ugly things"

I miss you Ron. You'll always be in my heart.

Love,
Todd

Neighbours on Cortes...JOY

this is from Ron and Denise Wolda here on Cortes Island....

Dearest Ronnie - I am so sad and so touched by what you, and Ron's family,
and especially Ron himself, have said here. I met him briefly but remember
so well that there was a very unusual openness and beauty about him. He
loved my To Honour Joy CD. That was the context of our only conversation and
from what has been said in this Blog I see that he did truly appreciate the
power and importance of JOY. Now he is experiencing it fully!
Blessings and all my Love,
Denise

Ron Trainor Memorial email notice

Hello dear friends and family,

For some of you in this email, who do not yet know, Ron Trainor passed away last night after a tough battle.

I have opened a blog, Ron Trainor Memorial, in Ron's name for everyone to post any thoughts about Ron.

Ron did not want a funeral so this is the best way for us to express ourselves and to honour the memory of a man who touched us all so deeply. Everyone who met Ron could feel his genuine warmth and appreciation of getting to know another unique human being. He just radiated a specialness that all felt in his presence.

We will all so dearly miss this remarkable man who has touched each one of us so deeply.

All my love,

Ron Bazar

Last night to Carey and Ronnie

oh Darling Carey and Ronnie I am so sorry to hear this news.

I knew when I saw him that it would be soon and I am so glad for him that his suffering is over.
I know he was ready and was at peace for he truly believed in his next journey to meet his loved ones on the other side.

All my love and from my daughters Namchi and Kaima too.

My Mum shared Ron's birthday of October 14 and she too sends her deepest condolences to the family.

Blessings to you and all your family.

With love in my heart and deep sadness at the passing of a most remarkable and courageous man.

Ron Bazar
