Ron Bolin, resident of Beaverlodge, AB, passed away on Saturday, December 4, 2021, at Rio Grande, AB, at the age of 67 years.

Ron was born on February 26, 1954, in Beaverlodge, and raised on the family farm in Rio Grande. He went to school in Beaverlodge and Elmworth, AB. Ron was a farmer, truck driver, harness maker, and enjoyed breaking horses to drive.
