Dear Susi and the Hodgins Family, Kurt and I were heart broken to hear of Ron's passing. I have so many great memories of Ron: Christmas afternoons at your house in Byron playing Pong on the Atari, going to the races as a teenager, visits to the race track in the back of your old house, afternoon parties on the grass, and Sunday night dinners at Auntie Helen's and Uncle Murray's. Not to mention all the great stories of heard second hand about Ron and dad's adventures that usually included the English boys and Dennis. Every time I saw Ron, I was always welcomed with a giant smile and a warm hello. He never failed to ask about what I was I to, he was like that, always interested in everyone's lives. I was very disappointed to not be able to make it to the service. I imagine there were a lot of great stories to be told on his behalf. I would have loved to have heard them. He had so much love for you Susi and his family. That was one of the things that made him such a wonderful person. We will miss him. Sending you love form San Francisco, Shel and Kurt

Dear Susi, Tim, Brian, Matty and extended families: Sincere condolences to you and your families at this sad time. As alluded to by many in prior condolences, I have nothing but fond memories of spending time with the Hodgins family whether at RMC, Port Franks or hockey rinks throughout the London area. Your dad was/is the best. No finer a tribute to Chubs is the great family he and Susi raised, that will carry on his legacy and values. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
