RON FRANKLINJuly 18, 1955 – November 30, 2015 With great sadness the family of Ron Franklin announces his passing at home on Monday, November 30, 2015, at the age of 60 years. Ron leaves behind his soul mate, Robin, his wife of 36 years; and sons, Jesse and Tanner of which he was both extremely proud of. He will also be lovingly remembered by his mother Doris; siblings, Charlie (Kathleen), Gwen (Jim), Kathy (Gordon) and Doug (Linda); as well as lots and lots of cousins; nieces; nephews and his very special circle of long-time friends. He was predeceased by his father, John; and brother, Ken. Ron’s career choice took him into the car business, starting out at Carter Motors for many years, then opening his own car lot, Access Auto in 1994. Ron lived for the deal, he was everyone’s go to guy. He always knew someone who could help you out, we’re all going to miss that. Ron enjoyed fishing, hunting, camping and recently RVing, with a month long trip to Alberta this past July, meeting up with friends Ron and Elfriede from British Columbia. He was an avid pool player all his life, enjoying many years with the Veterans English Billiards and Snooker leagues. This spring he was awarded the Sportsmanship trophy from UNAF #283 Men’s Double Snooker League. A celebration of Ron’s life will be held on Saturday, December 5, 2015 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. in ANAVETS Unit 283, 3584 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba.
