M.G. Daly Funeral Home Ltd. Maynooth, Ontario

Robert Ronald Dafoe, predeceased by his beloved wife & best friend, Erma Dafoe, loving father of Tamara (John) Kavanagh of Bancroft and Terry (Sue) Dafoe of Bancroft and loving grandpa of James, Christina, Courtney, Matthew, Emma, Hunter and Tayla. Ron passed away doing what he loved, in Newfoundland on a Moose Hunting trip. Our family is deeply grateful for Wayne Everall, who stayed with Ron at the hospital, during his passing and brought him home to us.  Ron was a life-long resident of the Bancroft area and owned and operated Birds Creek Lumber Products for many years, while raising two children with his wife Erma. Ron and Erma were married almost 55 years and spent many of their days travelling throughout Canada and the United States. Ron enjoyed hunting, fishing, riding his motorcycle and spending time with those closest to him. Ron lived a very fulfilled life embracing time with family and friends and was always ready for new adventures. Ron will be deeply missed by his family and friends. A Graveside Service will take place on Saturday, November 20, 2021, at Hillcrest Cemetery (York River Drive, Bancroft)  at 12:00 Noon.  All are welcome.  A Celebration of Ron’s life will follow at The Bancroft Curling Club (63 Newkirk Blvd, Bancroft).  Due to COVID-19, strict visitation restrictions (mask wearing, social distancing, and contact tracing of guests) will be in place. The family would welcome donations to either Hospice North Hastings, Box 875 Bancroft, K0L 1C0 or to the Canadian Cancer Society in lieu of floral tributes.  Arrangements entrusted to M.G.
