  • Notes 
    • HAFFNER, Ronald Kenneth

      Our husband and father was a wise man who touched the lives of many people and so it is with great sadness that we said good-bye on Wednesday, April 7, 1993, at K-W Hospital, Kitchener.

      He was born in Kitchener 58 years ago, a son of the late Milton and Luella (nee Montag) Haffner.
      Ronald was a member of the Holy Family RC Church, New Hamburg, where he was a member of the Council of Catholic Men and had been a former member of the Holy Family Separate school board. Ron had taken over his father's business, Haffner Motors Limited, New Hamburg and operated it until his death on Wednesday.


      Ron resided in New Hamburg with his beloved wife and best friend, the former Elsie Ruthig whom he married April 21, 1951. Dearest father of Judy and her husband Ron Becker of Waterloo, Debbie and her husband Keith Yantzi of Baden, Sandy and her husband Terry Broda, Ron Jr. and his wife Shelley, Randy and his wife Faith, Rick and his wife Karen, Kathy and her husband Dale Barton, Rob and his friend Leanne, all of New Hamburg. Cherished grandfather of Corey and Jared Becker, Heath, Ryan and Nick Broda, Jamie, Devin and Jordan Yantzi, Rory and Erin Haffner, Lucas and Kyle, Kara and Kasey Haffner, Lucas and Sophia Haffner, Mathew and Sydney Barton. We love you Candy Grandpa. He is lovingly remembered by his sisters, Margery Brown and her friend Al and Mildred Binkley and her friend Ken, all of Kitchener; brother-in-law, Joe Weber and his wife Neida of New Hamburg, mother-in-law, Isabella Ruthig of New Hamburg; sisters-in-law, Janet Miller and her friend Bert of Waterloo, Mim Miller and her husband Doug and brothers-in-law, Karl Ruthig and his wife Pat, Bob Ruthig and his wife Gwen and niece, Wendy Weber and her husband Dave, all of New Hamburg.
