BOOTH, Ronald Alexander

1941 - 2018

Ronald Alexander Booth (Sandy) “weighed anchor” on July 17, 2018, after what he referred to as “one lucky life.” Born in Sherbrooke April 30, 1941, he began travelling early and extensively.  He sailed, walked, cycled and drove across much of this world and then shared his adventures with the talent of a natural storyteller.  He inspired the young students who were fortunate enough to have him as a teacher encouraging curiosity, creativity and simply the pleasure of a good think.  He is survived by his sister, Ellen Booth, his niece, Laura Russell, and her family, Andrew Cull, and their three girls, Georgia, Josie, and Bea;  his nephew, Alec Frith, and step-nephew, Josiah Frith;  his cousin, Mona Longpre, and the rest of the Magog family. Sail away, dear Sandy, with the wind at your back and thank you for all the wonderful stories we have to remember you by.

Visitation will take place at the Windsor Funeral Home, 310 St-Georges Street, Windsor, Qc, on Tuesday July 24, 2018 from 1:00-3:00 pm.

It was always a celebration at the Booth home when Sandy returned from one of his many adventures. Sandy is no longer where he was but he will always be where you are.

Dear Ellen,
I am so sorry for your loss. I can’t even think about life without Dean.Who knew that we would get to this ‘age and stage’. I still think of our St. Francis days and treasure them, even if our lives have taken us down a path that didn’t have us connecting ‘in person’. I feel strongly about connecting ‘in spirit’. I have a memory that I want to share ....you appearing at my front door, on your lunch hour, on September 22,1964. Dad had died sudddenly the night before, and Mum, Dean & I were obviously, not at school. Word was out about our loss. And there you were...a prescence.....standing beside Mum, Dean & me.....loving and supporting us in our grief. God knows how you persuaded whomever to let you come to us, or maybe you just snuck out......but God love you..... there you were.....
I am so happy you are back home..in Canada.....I look forward to making a date to reconnect.

Ellen Booth and Family

My sincere sympathies to the family. I knew Sandy from years ago as he was my children's teacher. It was a pleasure to meet you as well Ellen. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Ellen and your dear families

I am saddened to read of Ron's "sailing". Ron was our Head Teacher at A.D.S. in Danville for a few years and I was the school secretary. He had a great laugh and his stories, especially those of his sailing adventures, were so very interesting if not scary by times. The students were indeed fortunate to have him as their teacher and I enjoyed having him as my "boss". Our youngest son had Ron as a supply teacher at R.R.H.S. and he thought they were going to have fun that day until they saw Ron's muscles and I got the impression they all toed the line. I haven't had the occasion to talk with Ron for many years but I have thought of him often and our days of working together. May you find comfort in knowing he enjoyed his many adventures and that he let us be a part of it through his many stories.
With sincere sympathy,
Nancy Marston

Hello, Ellen. I was deeply saddened to hear of Ron’s passing. Knew him while at Bishops from 1970 to 76 and ensuing years. Spent many hours chatting, exchanging stories and recounting adventures. You put together a really nice obituary. His was a life well lived. A real friend. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.

I wanted to let you know that Ron was a friend and colleague during our years in Yellow House at Alexander Galt School. We used to do intellectual puzzles in our spare time and I remember his planning for a sailing adventure. I will cherish those good old days.

With sympathy,

Thanks

Thanks, Sandy, for introducing us back in 1976. The rest is history and speaks for itself.

Thanks for being a compatible co-owner of a sailboat on Lake Memphremagog 40 years ago.

Thanks for your visits and for sharing your stories of adventures with our children who loved them and which inspired them.

In a world of artificial values, thanks for your refreshing common sense.

And thanks for the pleasure and privilege of being your friend.
