We have very fond memories of Ron growing up together in the church
(Calvary Community). Ron was quite but there was something about
him that made it so easy to get along with him. We remember several
sunday nights after church service everyone (youth) coming over,
playing pool and games, and oh ya we also had to watch the Montreal
Canadians play hockey. Thanks to Ron and Ferd our mother (Gertrud)
has never been the same. You have managed to pass on that "Hockey
Fever". With our deepest sympothy we are so sorry for your
loss. We pray that the Lord draw you even closer to Him through
your grieving and that Ron's death would be used in a mighty way
to reach those that do not know the Lord. Our thoughts and prayers
are with you and your families. The Wistuba's (Werner, Gertrud,
Monica, Carmen and Darlene)

From Catherine Klasios (Strong daugher #3) <avenuediner@sympatico.ca>
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are
with you all and your families. It is so hard to lose a brother
and son, I know now more than ever from our recent experience with
John's death. The Boy Next Door... Ronnie and I spent many years
playing together as kids, he lived 3 doors down from us on Watson
Avenue. Many times the handsome Mireault boys walked by our front
window on the way to school, the Strong girls peeking out to see
which one it was. I'll always remember the boy next door, little
Ronnie with his big curly hair. Ronnie and I were the same age,
the same grade and his birthday was 2 days after mine. One of my
memories are of playing in our basement at the old house and Ronnie
holding the otherside of the door tight, locking me into a pitch
dark room, laughing loudly from the otherside, then running quick
as he could, up the stairs and out the door home. I remember the
toys he hid under his bunk bed and playing many afternoons on their
family room floor, as our mom's compared notes. The guys would
head to our house to skate on our homemade ice rink or play hide
and seek between the neighbourhood houses. The Mireault's doors
were always open to us and Mireault kids knew that they were welcome
in our home. Thanks for the wonderful childhood memories and keep
Ronnie's spirit alive, tell the funny stories, speak of him often
and of course we will never forget those great memories on Watson
Avenue, and the boy next door. Catherine.

Dearest Mr & Mrs Mireault, Miki & Bruno & to all rest
of the family, Will & I would like to express our deepest sympathies
at this time for the great loss of your beloved son, husband, father & brother
Ron. Last night we called Miki & Bruno from Manila, Philippines
and prayed with them. We sensed that Ron is with Mitch in Heaven
and that they are rejoicing in the presence of Jesus together.
As Christians we too can rejoice even though we grieve their loss,
because we know that we shall one day, be re-united with our loved
ones that passed before us. Oh and what a wonderful day that will
be! "Eye has not seen, or Ear heard the wonderful things God
has planned for those that love Him." So with that said, We
pray the God of all Comfort would surround you with His Holy Presence,
and that You will have the deep knowing of His love for you & your
families at this time. Our church here in the Philippines will
be interceding for you & all your family, you are in our hearts,
thoughts & prayers. God Bless & Keep You, Will & Lynn
McCulloch

To all of Ron's family and friends, I just wanted you to know
how truly sorry I am for your loss. I lived across the street on
Watson from Ron and his family(his sister "Aunt Jan" was
the BEST babysitter ever!) Quite some time had passed and while
at a pool party I looked over and saw Ron, (what a small world)
he was all grown up and so was I. We shared stories about family
and friends and Watson Street! He was very proud of his family
and couldn't say enough wonderful things about them! Thinking of
you, Cindy and Family

Dear Shelley, I'm not sure if you'd remember me, but I dated Cynthia
off and on for three years and Ron installed my home alarm for
me. I was very sad to hear of his passing and you and your children
are very much on my mind these days. I haven't seen or talked to
Ron in quite some time, but he very often poped into my mind and
I was hoping all was well. In fact, just last week, I was wondering
how he was doing with his illness. I will always remember most
the lengthly conversations that I had with him. He was very open
and friendly and I appreciated the ease at which I got to know
him. I know he is watching over you and your three children and
someday you'll see eachother again.. God bless.

To The Mireault Family, I now live in BC and Esther emailed me
to let me know about Ron. My heartfelt condolences to the entire
family. I saw his picture in the Windsor paper, which I usually
look at the website each day, and he has grown up from the boy
I once knew. I know he's in heaven but he was still much too young
just like my nephew Jeremy and your Mitch. I still think about
Mitch from time to time. I pray God's comfort surrounds your family
and He replaces the hurt with the great memories you must have.

To the Mireault Family I worked with Ron at Consumers Distributing
for a number of years, and we also both went to Riverside. He was
such a warm and loving guy, so easy to talk to. About six years
ago he did some work for my mother, Tina Buffon, and they got along
great as well. Whenever I ran into Ron, it was a pleasant experience.
I do believe his spirit lives on, and he is watching over you all.
You are in my familys' thoughts and prayers. Pauline Cheslock

Dear Shelley and kids, dear Mr. and Mrs. Mireault sen., dear Ferd,
Beth and kids and of course dear all of the entire fantastic Mireault
family, whose hospitality I have been enjoying and that felt like
one of the most wonderful presents in my life throughout the last
23 years. 1982 was the greatest year in my life, and that is when
I first met Ferd and his Brother Ron. After being informed of Rons
passing away a few days ago, immediately so many moments spent
together with Ron came up to my mind. Although knowing about his
illness for the last few years, it is completely unreal and unbelievable
that I will not have the chance to see him again. Pain and grief
occupy my heart, but there is also room for some big smiles when
thinking of these great funny moments that Ron was responsible
for.I remember these funny questions about Germany in 1982, Ron
being 17 years old, myself being a 16 year old exchange student
still not liberated from puberty pimples. To be honest: before
I came to Canada for the first time, my idea of your great country
was about as broad as Rons idea of Germany (Yes, Ron, the invention
of refridgerators and electricity had already entered Germany in
1982, and it wouldn't make me a rich man to bring a TV back home).
Ron would always make fun of the sound of our German language,
and it was so funny to listen to his idea of imitating it, I couldn't
stop laughing. I remember his extremely long sentence of no sense
German, and at the end he would say "in other words : Hi" Hi
Ron, I'll miss you ! These many times that I had the chance to
come back to Windsor, it always felt like coming back home. Although
Ron and I didn't spend a lot of time together, I enjoyed these
times so much because Ron and everybody else made be feel like
being a member of your great family. Ron, I'll miss you. Thank
God, 6.000 km of geographical distance are no distance for thoughts.
No limits. My deep thoughts are with you and your family. Ron,
since you and I had such a good laugh about my language, here is
some German for you: Ron, ich werde Dich sehr vermissen. Meine
Gedanken und Gebete sind bei Dir und Deiner Familie, fuer die Dein
Abschied so einen grossen Verlust bedeutet. Du wirst uns fehlen.
Mit tiefen, herzlichen Gedanken an Dich, Dein Freund Chris

Dear Shelley, Stephanie, Mitchell and Matthew. We are so sorry
to hear that Ron, dad, passed away. It just seems like yesterday
we were in Petrolia at a baseball tournament having a bon fire
and Ron making drinks for everyone. He always had something good
to say about all the kids on the team. I will miss talking about
baseball to him. Adam was taken back when I told him as well as
were Janelle and Brian. He always made a point to get to know everyone.
Janelle remarked how sad she felt when I told her. She said, "he
was so nice to us -- he made me a hot dog". Adam got very
quiet, just like Mitchell would - they're so much alike. Brian
doesn't really understand but knows he's Mitchell's and Matthew's
dad. It's the little things we will all cherish and remember. Your
family did a wonderful job talking about Ron at the funeral service.
That is Ron to a tee. Many people will miss him. He was a good
husband, dad and friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Shelly and Family:
Please accept our sincere condolences on the death of your husband
and father. Jesse and Jordan will never forget his kindness when they
visited you at the cottage.....Ron was a special,
beautiful person who not only paid attention to his own family but
took in a couple of orphans to enjoy and share in their fun at the
beach. They have fond memories of those times.
We know how difficult the times ahead will be and our prayers go out
to you all at this time. Love to all, Richard,Beth,Jordan & Jesse

To the Mireault family,
I am so sorry to hear of Ron's death. Although I did not know him,
I can see that he shared a lot of the same characteristics as his dad
and his brother Ferd who I met in August 2004. His good looks, his
love of the Canadiens, and the importance of family is evident. My
sympathies to his wife and children, his mom and other family members.

Ron and I met when we were ten years old. Ron was born on May
31, 1965 and I was born on June 1, 1965. We were instant friends.
We spent so much time together. The thing I will never forget is
his smile and his laugh. Ron helped me through my father's death
at age 11. I did my best to comfort him when his brother Mitch
died the next year. Ron and I spent many hours fishing, watching
or playing hockey or goofing around after youth group at Calvary
Community Church.
The last time we talked he was happy and busy with his young family.
We spent almost two hours catching up. That was the last time we
talked. My thoughts and prayers go to his wife, children and the
rest of his family. Ron had a way of brightening up my days with
a smile, a joke or his laugh. He will be with me always.
As the song says:
"If we never meet again, this side of heaven, we will meet
on that beautiful shore"
