It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Ronald Oliver, in
Halifax.
Dear husband of 47 years of Janet (nee Jardine). Father of

Grandfather "Grampy" to Lauren, Erik, Taryn, Raelyn, Nicolas and

Predeceased by parents, Lloyd Oliver and Ila (nee McMillan) and
sisters, Marilyn and Carol. Will be missed by countless extended family
across Ontario to Nova Scotia.
Ron was born in Woodstock, Ont., growing up in southwestern Ontario. He served his country in a 50-year career with the Canadian Military and the Public Service. The Black Watch and Royal 22nd Regiments (Van Doos) took him across Ontario, Que., peacekeeping in Cyprus, England, N.B. and back to
Ontario and Ottawa. The ocean called Ron's name and he retired with
Janet to their dream home in Sydney Mines, Cape Breton.

or Cape Breton Regional Hospital.
