Ronald Busch passed away peacefully at the North Bay General Hospital on December 01, 2019, surrounded by loved ones, at age 75. Ron, also known to some as Ronnie or Tom, was born February 17, 1944, to William (Bill) and Bertha (Storie) Busch. Ron grew up with 12 brothers and sisters and took pride in his large family and loved them all dearly - Eric, Evan, Eddie, Delores, Del, Dint, Nita, Rick, Noreen, Glen, Clarice and Adwina, along with their respective spouses. Ron married Judy (Boxwell) in 1970, and had 3 children Tracey (David), Jason (Dianna) and Trevor. He had four wonderful grandchildren - Ryan, Ian, Taylor and Addyson along with many, many nieces and nephews. Ron was a home town type of man, living his life in Powassan and was more than content to call it home. He built a home on the North Hill in Powassan, in 1974, where he lived out the rest of his days. When Ron was not working as a machinist or working at his ‘winter wood supply', he very much enjoyed watching and playing hockey, golfing, hunting, camping and gatherings where stories, drinks and good times could be shared. Ron had a very caring and loving heart, he loved to tell stories and have a good laugh, with anyone he happened to be with. He is loved and will be missed by all.
