Dear Swirsky Family We always enjoyed chatting with Ron at the old Fitness Institute. Loved his stories about growing up in Newfoundland and his joy about being a grandparent. We fondly remember him.

My condolences to Ron's family. Ron and I were next-door office neighbours at Ryerson for a number of years and worked together on many projects. I have fond memories of stimulating conversations on a variety of subjects, some of which took place during shared subway rides that were always enjoyable in his company. He was an intelligent, passionate colleague, a dedicated Ryersonian, and a good friend. My sympathy to you all.

I just learned of Ron's passing away from the N.P. a few minutes ago. We attended Rabbi Eisenberget''s Shabbat morning Minyan for years. Ron was first a real "Mensch"who thought critically and independently. He was a devoted and proud Jew. He was also a strong and informed supporter of Istael. I will miss him.
