From Jamie Forbes:

We lost another one yesterday. WO (ret’d) Ron Melanson passed away at home with his wife Ann by his side after a brief battle with Bowel Cancer. I worked with Ron at Rockliffe Officers Mess in Ottawa, CFB Cornwallis where he retired and he worked as a Civilian at 14 Wing Greenwood. Him and I were hunting and fishing buddies for a long, long time. RIP my friend.
