Tribute
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of
Ronald Kenneth Charlton
February 8th, 1932 to November 17th, 2021
The true measure of a man
is shown through his life’s
journey, in the lives he’s
enriched and the legacy
of kindness he has given
along the way
Ron was born in Vancouver, B.C. and lived there until the family moved to Rock Creek, B.C. April 1947. He lived in Rock Creek on the farm for 72 years until July 2020 when he and Ann had to make the move to Mariposa Gardens Care Home in Osoyoos due to health reasons. We tried to keep them on the farm but just couldn’t get the care needed in the Rural Community.
Ron will be missed by his wife Anna (Wellman) they were married on September 6, 1961. This year they quietly celebrated 60 years together.
Two Daughters: Cindy Crusch of Airdrie, Alberta and Barbara Charlton of Kelowna B.C. Grandchildren: Sarah Forest (Brad) of Airdrie, Alberta, Justin (Vanessa) Winstanley of Greenwood, B.C. Becky (Wilf) Lindquist of Rock Creek, B.C. Alicia Kitchen (Jeff) of Warburg, Alberta, Craig Kitchen (Morgan) of Vanderhoof, B.C.
Great Grandchildren: Tyler, Braden, Nate, Cianna, Corbin and Maelyn.
One Brother Stan Charlton (Jane) of Summerland, B.C.
One Aunt, many cousins, nephews, nieces and friends.
Ron was predeceased by his Parents, Les and Gertrude (Armstrong) Charlton of Rock Creek, B.C.
Ron was 15 when the Family moved to Rock Creek, B.C. where they Farmed, Logged and had a small Sawmill. Ron also did Television and Radio Repair. Ron was instrumental in getting the first Television signals to Rock Creek and surrounding areas by installing battery operated reflectors on several mountains. Rock Creek, Bridesville, Westbridge, Midway, Greenwood. Some were easily accessible but others were quite the challenge! A 4×4, snowmobiles, Tractors and often hiking to get the new charged car battery up the mountain.
The phone would be ringing off the hook when the TV went out on Hockey night!
Ron also spent many years volunteering at the Rock Creek Fall Fair looking after the PA system and helping with parking.
Ron ended up losing his left eye several years ago after multiple surgeries to remove skin cancer from around it.
Ron was a Kind, Caring, Wonderful man who was loved by all.
A Celebration of Life will be held in the spring of 2022
