Black Watch friends:
Regret to report the passing of Ron Clare two weeks ago in Abbotsford, BC.
Ron served in Cyprus with our Second Battalion (A Coy) on their final tour in 1969/70 and remustered to Cook on return.
Have not been able to locate an obituary however Ted Keddie has provided the following:
Ronald Matthew George Clare
Born Dec 28, 1949 in Halifax N.S.
Died Sept 16, 2020 in Abbottsford Hospital, BC
Ron served in A Coy 2nd Bn Black Watch in Cyprus (1969/70) and shortly after disbandment he remustered to the cook trade where he served more than 30 years before retiring as a MWO. He once said of that "Not bad for a little ole boy from Halifax". Ron worked the rest of his life as a cook in a government facility. Ron leaves behind his wife of 52 years and son Matt, Dwayne and Pamela and many grand children
With thanks to Ted Keddie for the foregoing.
R. I. P.
