- WALSH, Ronald Edward
Age 94 of Lockhartville and Camp Hill Veterans’ Memorial Building, QEII, where he passed away on Tuesday, November 27, 2018. Born in Avonport on October 25, 1924, he was a son of the late Seymour Douglas and Clara Belle (King) Walsh. Ron proudly served during the Second World War with the North Nova Scotia Highlanders, seeing front-line action with Company A throughout France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. Ron worked at Minas Basin Pulp and Paper for over 25 years and then he pursued carpentry until retirement. He believed in a hard day’s work and took much pride in the home he built, especially his gardens and lawns. He stayed a kid at heart and enjoyed nothing more than joking around with his grandchildren. Ron was predeceased by his wife of 70 years, Greta (Smith); brothers, William, Charles, Henry, Victor and twin, Donald; sisters, Jean Starratt, Madeline Colby, Hilda Sherman, Alice Walsh and Iris Whitman. A very special thank you is extended to the staff at Camp Hill, especially those on 4th floor Westwood Wing, for their excellent care and support shown to dad. A graveside funeral service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Ronald may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Nova Scotia or Lockhartville (Stoney Hill) Baptist Church, Lockhartville.
