In Celebration of

Ronald A. Hubert

August 11, 1931 -  April 3, 2024

Ron left his home on this earth April 3, 2024. He left with the complete assurance that he would be with his Saviour, Jesus Christ forever.

At 92, Ron was predeceased by his parents, Nicholas, and Mabel. Born in Kitchener, Ron grew up in North Bay where he gained an early appreciation of outdoor sports and the beauty of nature.

In 1950, Ron moved to Toronto to attend university and met Shirley at Kingsway Baptist. For 69 years, their marriage was based on love and forgiveness. They trusted God to lead them through life’s circumstances.

Ron and Shirley have four children: Jeannie (deceased 1960), Paul (Joan), Greg, and Sally (Max). They have three grandchildren: Alexandra (Adam), Nicholas (Jaclyn), and Zachary, along with two great-grandchildren (Oliver and Emilia). They also have 2 step-granddaughters, Fiona and Rebecca and great grandson Atticus.

Since 1968, Ron loved to spend time on Boshkung Lake in Haliburton. Sailing, canoeing, swimming, golf, stonework (minus the nails that were lost on 3 of his children), tree maintenance and winter skiing were his joys.

He was adventurous & sports minded – he was proud at 65 years young taking skiing lessons in Whistler and continued to always ask how the Leafs were playing & did they win.

He spoke with purpose, always found something in common with those he met, loved his John Grisham novels, and had a quiet sense of humour.

Ron had two employers in his 46 years of work. He enjoyed the challenge of negotiating collective agreements across Canada with Canada Packers. He was a proud Eaton employee. As VP of Employee Relations, he was known for ensuring the fair and dignified treatment of all.

Friends may call at the Turner & Porter Peel Chapel, 2180 Hurontario St., Mississauga, (Hwy. 10, N. of QEW) on Tuesday, April 9, 2024 from 10 a.m. followed by a Funeral Service in the Chapel at 11 a.m. A private family interment will take place at Park Lawn Cemetery.

The family thanks the nursing & PSW staff at The Shores of Port Credit for their gentle and compassionate care.

Our sincere condolences to his family and friends on the death of Ron....

Ron and I worked together at Eaton's for several years... in his employee and labour relations work he maintained stoic calm, firm resolve, fairness, and loyalty to the firm.... how he did all that and the way he did it was amazing to watch!

I still share stories with others about how much Ron taught me during the time we worked together

Best regards, Tom Gladney.

I was a guest at the Old Mill on the occasion of Ron and Shirley's 50th(?) anniversary. Given that chance to reignite a long-lost cousin relationship, I fell into easy conversation with the couple and was invited to spend the weekend at their cottage later that August. Vicki, Donna and Barb also attended this first meeting of the four female cousins since we were teenagers. We marvelled at the beauty of their location on the lake and at the work that they had poured into their summer home. Ron was still so youthful in those days, skiing and occupied with water sports. Shirley, as always, in my memory, was beautiful, fragile, delicate while speaking in a gentle voice. I still have the picture of the four ladies sitting on their deck - it sits on my kitchen counter so I can easily recall that halcyon moment when we rediscovered family bonds. Love to Shirley and children in their grief. - Joy
