RONALD DAVID MACPHERSON

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Ronald David MacPherson, beloved Husband, Dad, Grandpa, and Great-Grandpa. Dad passed away quietly at Autumn Care Home in Regina, SK the morning of January 31, 2018 at the age of 90 years.

Dad was born November 4, 1927 in North Battleford, the eldest child of Robert Stanley and Gretta Sara. Dad spent his early years on the farm in the Scentgrass area and had many fond memories, which he loved to share with us. Although he contracted polio at 11 years old, he never let it slow him down. Whether he was travelling to BC for work or playing at a dance with one of his “country” bands, Dad never let his disability get in the way of living life.

In 1955 Dad married the love of his life Theresa Mandin whom he cherished. Their early years were spent in North Battleford with a big move to Prince Albert in 1959. Together Dad and Mom raised four children, Robert (Bob), Archie (Dale), Ronda, and Charlene. During Dad’s years in PA he worked for Saskatchewan Transportation Company until his retirement in 1987. Dad loved playing his guitar with the “family band” and also was an accomplished wood carver.

Dad is survived by his loving wife Theresa; son Bob (Carlene); daughters, Ronda (Paul), and Charlene (Trevor); brother Archie (Simone); sisters Olive and Georgina (Bill); brother-in-law Jack; sister-in-law Sheila (Bob); as well as numerous grandchildren; great-grandchildren; nieces and nephews. Beloved son Dale predeceased Dad in 1979.

There will be no service at Dad’s request. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to March of Dimes for post-polio research. To leave an online message of condolence, please visit www.speersfuneralchapel.com
