September 27, 1949 - March 25, 2023

Passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Saturday, March 25, 2023 at the age of 73 after a long and brave journey with IPF, a double lung transplant and cancer.

Ron was the beloved husband of Sandy and loving father of Danny (the late Sheri), Dorothy (Eric Giguere), Debbie (Colin Boucher), Emma (Tim Shilson), Jack and Kendra (predeceased 1993).

He was a proud grandpa of Daniel, Racheal, Abby and Joey and will be missed by his large extended family and many friends.

Ron was the eldest son of Bruce and Blanche Zuber who raised a large, rambunctious family of 7 children.

They were an Airforce family who moved often during his childhood.

Ron was a true family man who loved to spoil his wife and spend time with his children and grandchildren , whether it was coaching their sports teams, taking them camping or just playing Barbies or throwing a ball around.

Careerwise he was a true and loyal IBMer of nearly forty years.

He was passionate about curling, baseball, golf and playing cards.

A perfect day for Ron would involve having fun with his family followed by a curling bonspiel and a rousing game of euchre with his brothers and sisters, whom he adored.

Above all, Ron was a kind and generous man, truly one of the “good guys” and we will miss him always.

Funeral Mass will be held on Friday, March 31, 2023 at St. John the Evangelist Parish (903 Giffard Street, Whitby) at 1:30pm. A Celebration of Life will follow at the Whitby Curling Club (815 Brock Street North, Whitby) from 3pm-6pm.

In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation or the Lung Transplant Program at Toronto General Hospital would be appreciated.
