Devoted husband of Jackie Lanthier (nee Dyment) for 71 years. Loving father of April Macdonald (John, deceased), Bonnie Jackson (Terry), Ron Lanthier (Margaret Shackell), Andrea Torrens (Ron), and John Lanthier (Kim Stanley). Cherished grandfather of 13 granddaughters and one grandson and great-grandfather of 19 great-grandchildren. Born on May 2, 1926 in Montreal to Edith (nee Martin) and Emile Lanthier. Predeceased by his two brothers, Edgar and Spencer Lanthier and his sister Lillias Taylor. Also mourning his loss are many nieces and nephews, who looked to him as the patriarch and only surviving member from his generation. Ron and his family moved to the Town of Mount Royal when he was 16, where he met and wooed the beautiful Jackie Dyment - a love story that has left us all in awe. They were married two years later and started a family while he was taking his CA and going to McGill. In 1950 Ron received the Silver Medal for achieving the highest marks in the Province of Quebec. By this time, he and Jackie were parents of two little girls and he was working for Sharpe Milne and Company. As time went on, and three more children were born over a span of 17 years, Ron continued in his financial career, holding several Senior Financial positions at different companies, including CAE, Canadian Marconi, Webb and Knapp, and Camflo Mines. Well known and highly respected for his sharp financial mind and skill with numbers. While working with Webb and Knapp, he was instrumental in the creation of Place Ville Marie. In 1978 Ron and Jackie moved to Aurora, to carry on his career and to live in an artistic community to support Jackie's passion as an accomplished artist. Ron was able to put time into another of his passions, golf. He loved living close to Westview Golf Club and in his early 80s he beat his age on the golf course and had his first and only Hole in One at the age of 85. Ron was an accomplished athlete, and played semi-professional baseball as a teenager, in the position of shortstop. He loved tennis and ping pong and would beat his opponents while using his left hand. At the age of 86 Ron and Jackie moved to Oakville to Churchill Place, to be closer to family. In November 2014 they moved again and this time to Sunrise Assisted Living at Trafalgar and Cornwall. Ron was a wonderful Father. He had strong values, for love, honesty, integrity. He was kind and caring and very fair. He was generous and giving and the consummate gentleman, well-mannered and highly principled. Dad loved to read and his book case is filled with so many books on the biographies of Presidents and Prime Ministers. Right up to when he had his fall, he loved to share what he had learned from his readings. His mind was sharp and pure and the twinkle in his deep blue eyes never faltered. He was fully independent and self-sufficient and even did his own taxes and monthly Sunrise invoice. But above all, he loved Jackie with an intense and everlasting love that was palpable. The love and respect they showed to one another is a legacy that they leave behind for us all. Dad will be sorely missed by his loving family that extends to numbers too high to count. He will be missed by his Dialysis team and by the loving care givers at Sunrise, and the friends and associates who knew and admired him. We want to thank the nurses and all the care givers who tended so lovingly, over the week he was in the New Oakville Hospital on 5 Centre, and the skilled care of Dr. Massoud and Dr. Benhara. We also want to thank CalaCare for helping give dad that extra support through his last few nights as he rested peacefully in the hospital. The family will receive visitors at the Ward Funeral Home, 109 Reynolds Street, Oakville, on Sunday, January 10th from 2 - 4 and 7 - 9 p.m. A Private Family Service will be held. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation or the Oakville Hospital Foundation or a charity of your choice would be appreciated.
