1945 – 2023
Ron was born in Lethbridge in 1945 to Dr. Irvin W. and Dorothy (Hardy) Moynihan and passed away on April 11, 2023. In his boyhood he lived in Vancouver, Ottawa and Calgary. Ron graduated from the University of Calgary with a BSc in Chemical Engineering. His work took him to many parts of the world which he and Margaret felt fortunate to see.
For many years Ron was a valued member of Holy Nativity Anglican Church and made many contributions to the life of the parish and the Anglican diocese of Calgary. Throughout his life Ron’s faith was strong and deeply held.
His smile lit up his face when he would start to spin a tale – often liberally seasoned with his unique brand of humour and always drawn from his bottomless well of random knowledge. Ron was a long time member of the Calgary Philatelic Society, a devotee of the British Roadster, a dedicated learner of military history and geography, and an optimistic golfer. Ron’s eclectic endless curiosity remains with us all.
Ron is survived by his wife Margaret (Morgan) Moynihan, his daughters Janet Moynihan (Yvette Claveau) and Susan (Robin) Harder and three treasured grandchildren (The GBHGroup) Georgia Harder, Ben Claveau and Henry Harder. He will be missed by many members of the Moynihan, Hardy, Morgan, Harder and Claveau families.
Ron was predeceased by his much loved parents, and his dear sister Leslie (Moynihan) Rathbone.
He was a good man. May he rest in peace.
