June 29, 1949 – July 7, 2019 We are sad to announce the sudden passing of Ron at his home in Inwood. He was born and raised in Teulon where he attended school, was a proud Boy Scout, and enjoyed sports. After graduating from Red River College Ron worked for the Bank of Montreal in several Manitoba towns, but lived and worked most of his life in the Teulon area. In his early adult years Ron spent many hours refereeing hockey, umpiring ladies’ softball, golfing and curling. In recent years he enjoyed his “music corner” listening to his collection of old time country and rock n’ roll. Watching westerns, old movies, and sports on T.V. was a favorite pastime; especially the Bombers and CFL, curling, golf, and the Jets. He was a voracious reader; mostly history and biographies. Ron is survived by his mother, Ev Olsen, sisters Karen Nedotiafko, and Darlene (Rod) Waldbauer, and nephews Jamie (Jen), and Cameron (Brooke) and families. He was predeceased by his father, Harry Olsen, and his brother-in-law, Darryl Nedotiafko. Ron is also survived by his wife, Brenda Olsen of Teulon, and stepchildren, Chris of Teulon, and Cindy (Steve), granddaughters Dominique and Abby, all of Calgary. The family is respecting his wish of a private internment. R.O. loved to reminisce, please take a moment to share a story.
