Predeceased by 2 brothers: Dwain Arbuthnot (Sharon of Renfrew) and Stuart Arbuthnot (late Lou). Also survived by his loving nieces and nephews. Ron could build or repair anything. Creative, handy, incredibly wise and willing to help anyone, Ron will be long remembered as a fine businessman and a supporter and contributor to his community. Most of all Ron will be remembered for his love and devotion to his family. Ron and Connie moved to Renfrew in the mid 1960’s and the Valley quickly became home. His motto…if your mind can perceive it…you can achieve it.  Always happy racing cars and flying planes. He will be missed.
