Obituary of Ronald Talbot

TALBOT, Ronald (Ron) Samuel Leo Joseph

On Friday, June 19th, 2020, Ron Talbot passed away at the age of 71. The loving father of Andrea Talbot and Lynal Jones, Kristen and Paul Picard and Rhonda and Drew Middleton. Proud Pepe to Madison Picard, Parker Jones, Payton Picard, Reegan Picard, Nash Jones, Carsen Middleton, Navaya Jones and Griffin Middleton, each one given their own special nickname by their Pepe. Devoted partner to Marilyn Knight. He is survived by his many siblings; Gloria (Ken) Price, Linda (Al) Jackson, Gary (Kathy) Talbot, Neil (Cheryl) Talbot, Deanna (Jurgen) Rauser and Donna (Louis) Ouellette along with his many nieces and nephews. Ron was preceded in death by his father Samuel and mother Madeline Talbot. Ron was born September 28th, 1948. Raised in McGregor, Ontario, he was an electrician and plumber by trade. Over the span of his career he had the good fortune to be employed by Wilf Shepley and Son, Ridsdale Plumbing & Electrical, SKD and Chrysler. Ron had a true talent for woodworking. After his retirement from Chrysler, he spent many hours in his garage crafting wonderful pieces of furniture for his family. Ron was also an avid reader and loved listening to music. He enjoyed sitting in his chair with "his little buddy"; his miniature pinscher Jackson. Thank you to all who offered their care and concern during this difficult time. A celebration of life will be planned at a later date. "Don't weep for how the flower looked as its petals fell in the last days; rejoice for how it brought beauty and joy to those who knew it while it bloomed."
