CONNELLY, Ronald Douglas
1947 - 2015
With great sorrow and regret we announce the passing of Ronald Douglas Connelly on Jan12/2015 at the age of 67, after a courageous battle with Cancer. Ronald was born in Drumheller and his travels took him throughout Alberta and BC, but he had always returned to his roots here in Drumheller. Ron worked in the oil patch, the mills in BC, and locally at Riverside Packers and the Town of Drumheller. Ron liked the outdoors and always looking to get out there and hunt or fish. Ron was an easy guy to talk to and made many friends over the years. Ron loved to have friends over and BBQ and maybe have an arm wrestle. He is survived by his companion of the last 23 years Carol Sergeant. His three sons from his marriage to Val Springer, Robert (Cheryl) Connelly, Craig (Missy) Connelly, and Keith Connelly. Grandkids Cole Connelly, Tiffany Endersby-Connelly, Cherish Bennett-Connelly, David Bennett-Connelly, Alyssa Bennett-Connelly. His sisters Beth Hanson, Bonnie Tobler, and his brother Richard Connelly. Nephews Barry Hanson, Brent Hanson, Dale Hanson, Kevin Tobler, Corey Tobler, Christopher Connelly and Michael Connelly. We want to thank the Drumheller hospital for the great care they took of our father, brother, grandfather, and spouse. We are waiting for spring to have a service so that we may all join him for a last BBQ, the details to be published here at a later date. In lieu of flowers, those who wish may make memorial donations to Drumheller Health Complex (Cancer Clinic) 351 9 Street NW, Drumheller, AB T0J 0Y1. We would like to thank Alternatives Funeral Home for their handling of the final arrangements.
