To my Aunt Niece, to my cousin Mark, and to all of the extended Joseph family, my family's deepest condolences are with you. My uncle Ron was a wonderful, loving, caring and amazing uncle who always had a smile on his face and a zest for life. He will be sadly missed this year, and many more, at our annual Christmas Eve gathering by all of us. I'm sure we will raise a glass in his memory! May he Rest In Peace.
Sorry to hear of Ron's death. My condolences to the family. I first met Ron working in the cell block at the London Police Service as a Cadet. Ron and I had many talks, he offered great advice and always had a smile on his face. RIP Ron.
Special memories of being excited to visit Uncle Ron's and him saving all his Red Rose Tea figurines for me and letting us drink all the bottles of Pop Shoppe we could. And of Mom and Dad ( Sheila & Bob) being at their best and the most happiest when around Uncle Ron and Aunt Bernice. For having this man in your life, Aunt Bernice, Mark & Debbie and Brad, you were truly blessed. Xo Stephanie

Dear Family: I am so sorry to hear of Ron's passing. I worked with him at the London Police Force and enjoyed doing so. He was a good and happy worker. I remember one time he wanted Togo out for New Years but hand no one to stay with all the families children who were staying over for the Christmas Holiday at a hotel and I told Ron I would be happy to go to the hotel and sit with all the children so he could enjoyed his New Years. I was so glad to be able to do this for Ron as he was a great person and the children were wonderful. May your memories help you through this trying time. God Bless. LJJ

My sincere condolences to the Joseph family. It has been my pleasure to have worked with Ron throughout his lengthy career as a London Police Officer. His quiet and friendly attitude was admired by all of us.
Bernice and family , It came as quite a shock when we learned of Ron's passing. You both were great neighbours when we all lived on Duffer's Road in Bluewater Golf and Campground. He was a gentleman and will be missed by all who knew him. Sending our thoughts and prayers. Dudley and Sharron
Deepest sympathies to Ron's wife and family. I have known Ron for over to 25 yrs sharing similar passions, golf & camping. We shared the same pew at 8:30 mass at St Michael's having good conversations about our shared interests. I'll miss you Ron! RIP
. Bernice and family. We have many years of memories, wonderful, fun memories. Ron was so dear to so many of us. Truly a gentleman, but then we can remember a couple of "camp fires" with Jack, and Merv. that remark could be questioned. Please know that my love, sympathy and prayers are with you and the family.

Dear Bernice and family. I wish to extend my sincere condolences to you and your family. I'm so sorry to hear about Ron's death. I have very fond memories of you and Ron and the times we spent together with Grandma Emma. Please take care and I wish you all the best. Sincerely, Doris Zettel.
My condolences to the Joseph family. I had the honor of knowing and working with Ron while we were employed at the LP Services. Ron was one of those guys you could count on being comfortable around with his constant smile and appealing humor. Not many people own those attributes. I'm certain his demeanor was the same off duty. Ron was blessed with a long retirement and a loving family. Will think about you.
Bernice and family. I am sorry to hear of Ron's death and am thinking of you with love and prayers at this sad time. Take care of yourself Bernice, we have golf to play someday.
Bernice. I am so sorry to hear of Ron's passing. He was such a wonderful man. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers in your time of sorrow. Nancy St. Pierre
Bernice, please accept our heartfelt condolences. Ron and you were both the best neighbors, but also good friends. Our entire family still plays one-eyed jack on the beautiful board you made for us. Our oldest two boys also remember the cake you delivered in the flower pot that looked like dirt. The two of you created many memories for us as a young family. Thank you.
