Affectionately referred as Zozep by his late father and Giigwiss by his brothers and sisters. He loved and cherished his only daughter and grandchildren so much and enjoyed spending his free time with them. He especially liked watching Brandon play hockey, never missing a game. Ronnie was a hard worker and skilled carpenter; he was always there when you needed him. He was an avid photographer of his own caliber. He loved playing pool and cribbage with his best friends Gail and Ronnie Animikwaan (aka R1). He will be sadly missed by his many nieces and nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews who called him Zhizheh. We will miss his many gete aansokinan (his old-time childhood stories and adventures). Ronnie will also be deeply missed by his many dear friends, cousins and inlaws who have so many wonderful memories of him.
