Condolence From: Dwight and Patricia Wilson and Family
Condolence: To Delores and Family and to our Ennis cousins; Mike, Joan, Mary, Margaret, Marion, Anne, David, Charlie, John, Sean and Robert.
Dwight and I have always found this sentiment about the loss of a loved one comforting in difficult times. Our wish is that it will do the same for you and your family.
"It takes time to get used to the loss of someone we dearly love. But it is important to remember that when people die, they leave something special behind. They leave us memories of many things they said and did. And as long as we have those memories, the people we love will live on in our hearts and minds forever."
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Our heartfelt condolences on Ron's passing.
Dwight, Patricia, Colin, Justin and Amy

Condolence: I am so sorry to hear of Ron's passing. I first met Ron almost 47 years ago when he was with the Advertiser. I was till in school but did occasional photography assignments for him for the paper. He was not only a pleasure to deal with but in many respects, provided experience and opportunity that still positively affects me to this day.
My wife and I are sorry for your loss and hope that fond memories, yours and ours, will help you through this difficult time.

Condolence: To the Ennis Family,
I just wanted to pass along my condolences and thoughts at such a sad time for your family. Much has been made of his loss to the journalistic community and the town itself, but losing such a dear family member is so hard and I know how you feel.
I was lucky enough to know Mr. Ennis at many different intersections of my life. As a participant in the music festival for years, he always congratulated every one of my performances and was a friendly and supportive constant every year during the festival.
When I started my career in journalism, he was always interested in what I was doing. We had fascinating and smart conversations about whatever issue was on our minds. I knew I could always count on him for intelligent opinions, ideas and help.
And his friendship with my family was strong and warm....everything you would want in a friend.
I am so sorry for your loss and please know all of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Condolence From: Marie Bungay
Condolence: Mrs. Ennis and family, I am so deeply sadened by the sudden passing of a man I highly respected and admired. Ron gave me an opportunity in journalism when he hired me to be manager/editor of The Coaster in Harbour Breton, for which I will always remain grateful. Responsible for the south coast area, my office was in my home. For nearly eight years he guided me, advised me and supported me, helped me through difficult times and called on many occasions simply to touch base and see how everything was going in my neck of the woods. I truly enjoyed his visits and our many chats. He was a great teacher and someone I feel honoured to call mentor. He was a kind, caring, genuine person who was focused on producing "community" newspapers. I still oftentimes think of his approach to things, the many things he taught me in this line of work and life in general. He was a great man - fair and honest with such integrity, true to his word and admirably professional. He will never be forgotten. Keeping you and your family in our prayers during this very difficult time, Marie and Joseph Bungay & family

Condolence: To the Ennis Family
It is with sadness that I heard of the passing of Ron at such a young age. I met Ron on several occasions and was truly impressed with his knowledge of journalism.
Since 1977 I would venture to say he published more articles from me than any other and for that I am very thankful.
Ron will be remembered by many as a great man and his work was well done.
My condolence are with you all.

Condolence: To Delores and Family and to our dear cousins Mike, Joan, Mary, Marg, Marion and Anne, to David, Charlie, John, Sean and Robert.
We are saddened to hear of Ron's passing. We are grateful that his suffering is over and that he is unto a new adventure. All is well now.
Be comforted in knowing that human life is just a journey. The spirit moves on and energy never dies. Be happy that you were honoured and privileged to have such a wonderful husband, father and brother who left such a beautiful legacy that we are all so very proud off. We have our memories, don't we, and they will never be taken away. We pray that they will sustain you in the days ahead and that you will be blessed with peace and comfort through them.
Ron is with your mom and dad and ours as well. It is a big reunion I am sure. He will be overseeing you all, so behave yourselves. (Ha)
We cherish our childhood memories growing up together. You are all very special and we share in your mourning today.
Paul and I are having a tree planted to commemorate Ron's memory, a symbol that life is being renewed and our love for one another never dies but continues on into eternity.
Blessings and love, peace and comfort to you all.
Paul, Bernadette, Heather and Carla
