It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, Ronald Joseph Todd, affectionately known as Grampy to many who knew him on Dec. 6, 2015.
Ron was born in Toronto, Ont. on Oct. 19, 1926, and was predeceased by his parents Joseph and Lillian (Hartley) Todd.
He made his career as a Journeyman Electrician IBEW Local 1852 and was well respected by his fellow workers. He enjoyed many hours making wood crafts that he shared with all his family and friends. He was a member of the North Sydney Senior Citizens and Pensioners Club where he greatly enjoyed all of the activities, especially the dances.
