GILSON, Ronald Arthur

In loving memory of Ronald Arthur Gilson who passed away peacefully at the Temiskaming Hospital, October 14, 2005 at the age of 60 years. Beloved husband of Shirley Gilson (nee Browne) for 42 years. Left to treasure his memory are his children, Susan Gilson of Innisfil, Robert (Sylvia) of Redbridge and brothers, Ernie and Richard. He will be lovingly remembered by his grandchildren, Robbie, Mariah, David, Kaitlyn, Richard, Amanda, and Steven Gilson, Kayla and Shannon Vaillancourt and Jennifer Irwin. Ron was predeceased by his parents, Millage (Bud) Gilson and Lucy Rose (Gilson) McNaught and sons, Ronald Richard and Allen Brian. Ron will be fondly remembered by his many nieces, nephews and his many friends in the area. Ron was actively involved in the mining exploration business for many years and loved to be out in the field prospecting and staking claims until his health problems prevented him from doing so. He loved hunting and fishing and enjoyed playing the guitar and having a sing song. Ron was a very generous person and he touched many people's hearts and will be sorely missed by the mining community. There will be a Celebration of Ron's Life held at his home at 12 Martin Drive in Cobalt at 2:00 p.m. on October 22, 2005 for friends and family. The family would appreciate any donations to be made out to the Temiskaming Hospital's CAT Scan Foundation in his memory. Ron's ashes will be buried at the Silverland Cemetery with his sons. The family would like to thank Dr. Sears, The ICU Staff and the Palliative Care Nurse at the Temiskaming Hospital for their excellent care and compassion during Ron's hospital stay. Bless you all.
