SCHINDEL, Ronald DOUGLAS

Jan 4, 1936 - Jan 3, 2021

After courageously and successfully battling numerous serious health challenges over the recent years, he finally succumbed to yet another battle with cancer. Ronnie passed away peacefully on January 3, 2021. He will be missed immensely and forever by his surviving family and friends. Ronnie was such a gentle easy-going man who was generous, humble and kind and everywhere he went he made friends and impacted lives.

Ronnie is predeceased by his loving first wife Virginia of 43 years, his parents Bill and Sophie Schindel and his beloved dog Bunny. He is survived by his wife April, her family, and his daughters: Linda, Robin (Sam), Cindy (Karl) and Arlene (Ed) and grandchildren: Jennifer (Keston), Andrew, Adrian, Ronnie, Julianna and great granddaughter Kyah. Brothers: Allan (Marlene) and Harley (Dianne). Ronnie and his brothers Allan and Harley were born and raised in Vancouver to parents Sophie and Bill Schindel. He was a longtime Picture Framer-Hand Carved and Magnum Frames with Jimmy by his side until he finally retired in 2010.

There will be no Memorial service at his request. A celebration of life will be held later when it is safe to do so. An Online Obituary page will be created for Ronnie at: https://online.justcremation.ca/obituarie s where condolences and comments can be posted, and where information will be posted on the celebration of life event.
