Ronald Bryan Finch
Ron passed away on February 16, 2020 surrounded by his family and knowing he was loved by many. His warm, caring spirit will be remembered by his cherished wife and best friend Lynne, his beloved children Corey, Regan (Carmel) and Kassidy, his sister Linda Alloway (Brian), brother-in-law Richard Arth (Bunnie) and his nieces, nephews, great and great-great-nieces and -nephews that he adored; they share an abundance of memories of a life well lived.
A celebration of Ron’s life will be held at 2 pm on Saturday, March 14, 2020 at the Elizabeth Finch School (13815 - 160 Avenue NW, Edmonton, AB).
In lieu of flowers, to celebrate Ron’s love of art and literature, donations can be made to the Elizabeth Finch School to support its literary and art programs.
So so sorry to hear. Even though we have not talked for a long time we have many many good memories of time spent with Ron and Lynne while in Kelowna. He will be greatly missed and his sense of humor in all the jokes he has passed on to Gary after moving back to Edmonton were always a joy to see.
Jean and Gary Gylytiuk, Kelowna, B.C.
Thank you so much Jean and Gary. We had so many good times with you in Kelowna. Those memories will live on. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness.
With love Lynne
So sorry that this has taken so long to remember Ron.. A wonderful human being, we go back to football days. I played with the Huskies after Ron and later the Bears and of course times at the U. I also taught school in Edmonton but moved to Victoria in ’75 and lost contact with most of the “guys”.. Loved his art which has led me to pursue my own….more sketching than painting.
I was googling old friends and one that came to mind was Ron. We were neighbours in Edmonton.
My wife then was Jan and my daughter’s name then was Jennifer. Ron was an exceptional talent. Great and humble athlete. He told me he found out he could paint in Hospital doing paint by number. That always amazed me and I used it as an example when discussing hidden talent. I got divorced and left Edmonton and we lost touch. But He was a great guy and I wanted to express to him but sadly I waited to long. I wish that God comforts his family in their time of sadness.
