It is with heavy hearts that the family announces the peaceful passing of our beloved dad and grandfather Ron at the age of 86.
He was son to the late Ron and Mary Davidson. Cherished father to Deborah Basawa (Ray). "Grandpa D" of Rayann Simon (Erik) and William Basawa (Courtney). He is predeceased by his siblings Lois (Bob), Dianne (Jim) and James. Uncle of Lori Carmichael-Vandermoer (Tony) of London, Ont.
