It is with great sadness that we, the family, announce the passing of Ronald ‘Ron’ Assoun, 76, of Sydney. Ron peacefully passed away with his loving family by his side on March 1, 2017 at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Sydney. Born in Sydney on November 1, 1940, Ron was the son of the late Reginald ‘Reg’ and Helen (O’Day) Assoun.
He worked for the Halifax Metro and Sydney Transit Cape Breton as a bus driver for many years. Ron was known for his great sense of humour, definitely one of a kind. He loved going for long walks in the woods and driving on the four-wheeler with his sidekick Rosie. Ron was very kind hearted, caring and a giving soul always wanting to help others.

Besides his parents, Ron was predeceased by his son, Troy and brothers, John and David.
In honouring Ron’s wishes cremation has taken place. Visitation and memorial service to celebrate the life of Ronald ‘Ron’ Assoun will be held at Pier Community Funeral Home, 1092 Victoria Rd. (entrance on Church Street) on Saturday, March 4, 2017.
