Condolence: Dear Andrea and Rebecca: Your Dad was the best Greeter the Newmarket Walmart ever had! He was always a smiling, welcoming face to shoppers and he knew just what to say to make someone smile and how long to chat without delaying a shopper. We became acquaintances through our common bond as parents of twins and because you and our twins went to school together. Many times I would run into Walmart after work to grab a few groceries and your Dad would tell me Dan had just been in and asked him to tell me not to grab milk, bananas or peanut butter as he had just been in and gotten those. It always made me laugh at your Dad's ability to remember all these details and his willingness to take the time to do this. We sometimes chatted over our parental difficulties and our hopes for all our childrens' futures. He was a wonderful man who will be sorely missed. Cherish the times you had together and listen to his words of wisdom he impart to you while you were growing. He loved you both dearly.

Condolence: Dear the thickett family, I am sorry to hear about Ronald, he was a great dad, son, and friend. I use to enjoy going to work at Newmarket Walmart because he was always laughing and funny but knew how to get job done. he use to tell me about how many to carts in the store and joking around to make the day more pleasent. you will truly be missed and loved, you will be lost Andrea and Rebecca but remember my saying, ITS NEVER GOODBYE ITS SEEYOU LATER!! rest in peace only friend Ronald Thickett you old friend Luke

Condolence: Dear Andrea and Rebecca, We knew Ron as a wonderful caring cousin who was dear to our hearts. The shock of Ron’s passing brought home that when we love someone there is never enough time and our time with Ron was way too short. You two girls knew him best and it was clear he was an amazing father. We knew him as a sweet and kind cousin. He would take the time to call my mother on his birthday and wish her Merry Christmas. I don’t believe Ron knew the scope of how his gentle upbeat welcoming way touched the lives of so many. I have many treasured memories of evenings spent with Ron, enjoying a good meal and catching up on each other’s lives. Robert and I also enjoyed attending the theatre productions with which he was involved. Ron was well loved. He was very giving to others, and no matter what life threw at him, he always had a sunny disposition. This is the Ron we remember and love. He will be greatly missed. You’re in our hearts and prayers, and especially at this difficult time.  Love, Gail and Robert

Condolence: Dear Andrea and Rebbeca: Your father's passing has brought great sadness; but also wonderful memories. We met through Terr's cousin Diana and enjoyed many visits to the cottage. As Uncle Ron to our boys, he was kind, caring and compassionate. His Peanut Butter Pie, hammock, paddle boat and flag shirt each evoke stories. May you find comfort and peace in your memories. Our Sincerest Condolences. Terri and John Heacock

Condolence: I am sorry that something like this has happened so fast! Rebecca and Andrea I am sorry for your loss. He was an amazing man. I will be here to support you at this hard time. This worth family sends our love at this hard time ❤️ R.I.P RON aka daddy #2

Condolence: Rebecca and Andrea, it is with my deepest sympathy to hear from Karen Davis of the loss of your Dear Father "Ron" I have wonderful memories of Ron from the late 70's & 80's when once we were neighbours. Ron was a trooper who made the best of any situation. Envisions of his smiling face, expressing his sense of humor and very thoughtful nature will always be remembered; along with the great parties he hosted. You have been blessed to have him as your Dad who loved you deeply. My thoughts and prayers are with you both and the family. sincerely, Julia

Condolence: So very sorry to hear of your loss. I enjoyed playing Scabble and Words with Friends with your dad on Facebook. You both lit up his life, and were his reason for being. Hugs all around. He will be missed.

Condolence: When we were children Aunty Grace always had a birthday party for Ron, Frank and I were the eldest and we always complained to our Mother that we did not want to go with all the little kids. Mother said he was your cousin and we had to go. When we were older we understood the reson why. We will miss you Ron. With deepest sympathy . Love Danny and Elaine.

Condolence: When I had lost touch with Becca and Andrea, the only thing that kept me in the loop was seeing the smile on Ron's face when I happened by Walmart. We would stand and talk to each other and catch up for about 20 minutes every time. He was never a dull man and always did what he had to do. He was always looking at the big picture and honestly, I had admired that. Rest in peace good sir.

Condolence: It is a great lost to everyone who was touched by Ronald appearance. He made me feel welcome when I started working with him and we would share many conversations about his family and friends. I feel lucky to know him and I hope everyone else feel that way. Take care Ronald.

Condolence: I may have only met him one but when I met him he was a sweet and funny man! Definitely a role model to Andrea and Becca! We will all miss you! R.I.p.

Condolence: The very first Board Meeting I attended at NSC, I sat in the wrong chair. Everyone said you'd better move and I asked why? I got the answer and said if they ask me to move I will. Sure enough, when they waltzed in, I was asked to move. Your father pulled out the chair beside him and said, come sit beside me. I'm so sorry you young ladies are having to deal with this, but remember how much he loved you and the role model that he was indeed.

Condolence: So saddened by the news of Rons passing. I have so many fond memories of the Thickett family on and around the soccer fields. He will be missed by many. My thoughts go out to Rebecca, Andrea and the rest of the family at this time - thinking of you ladies xoxo

Condolence: I am extremely saddened to hear of Ron's passing. He has been my dear and cherished friend for many years, having met at Suncor back in 1990. I have always admired and been inspired by his composure, strength, determination,integrity,fortitude,intelligence and marvellous sense of humour. His love and dedication to his daughters knew no bounds. I shall miss you immensely Ron. You are one admirable fellow. xo

Condolence: Having known and worked along side Ron, the news of his passing has left all of us who have known him very sad. Ron was a strong community supporter and volunteered for many years for the Newmarket Soccer Club. His passion to give back to his community was tremendous and truly did what he did for "the kids". His love for his daughters was unfathomable and could always be seen on the sidelines cheering them on...no matter what the weather. Ron, you will be missed but know that you did make a difference in the lives of those of us who knew and loved you.

Condolence: It was a shock to hear of Ron's passing. I have many fond memories of Ron, especially as kids when both our families would get together. Though we have met only occasionally as adults, he and I played Scrabble and exchanged messages on Facebook to keep in touch. I remember him as a gentle, kind, soft spoken man. Dearly loved by many in his life, you'll be missed my dear cousin. May you rest in peace. Love, Lynn

Condolence: Sorry to hear of Ron's passing. I have known Ron for years. He was a very kind and gentle person. I will certainly miss him. Rebecca and Andrea, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Condolence: Ron came into my life 50 years ago as we were about to enter High School. You could say we grew up together and then went our separate ways for some time but he was always in my thoughts. When we reconnected it was if we had never missed a beat. I became Ron's courier for Jiff peanut butter, how he loved his peanut butter. I am going to miss our chats and yearly catch up dinner at the Spooonful.

Condolence: Ronnie was our cousin and he was always such a very kind and gentle soul. We may not have seen each other over the past few years, but you will always be in our prayers. May you rest in peace. With love, Peggy and Stephen
