MCCULLIGH, Ronald Douglas, 69, passed away on February 9, 2020. Born March 7, 1950 in Chatham, Ontario. Later living in Mitchell, Ontario attending Mitchell District H.S., he was active in both sports and drama.
Following high school Ron worked at a local lumberyard before joining the London Police Department as a cadet. After graduating from the Ontario Police College, his career as an officer was cut short by a car accident just north of Mitchell.
Since his dream of staying with the L.P.D. could not be fulfilled he attempted to find happiness in many other fields, including; security, management, insurance and finally long-haul truck-driving.
“May God hold my family in the palm of his hand.”
Ron is being remembered by his children, Andrew, Deidre (Gord), and Shawn (Sherri). As well as his grandchildren: Samantha and Alyssa, Cassandra and Lucas, and Braedon, Dustin and Alyna.
His sisters, Carol Allen (Chuck) of London and Catherine Staffen (Larry) of Mitchell were his ports in bad weather.
Ron is predeceased by his parents Sylvia McCulligh (nee Davis) and Ellwood McCulligh.
