YOUNGSTON, Ronald

April 10, 1937 - September 3, 2023

He is survived by his wife Margaret; his children Cathy (Mike), Alan (Julie), and Ken (Ying); grandchildren Michael (Lexie), Ashley (John), Alyson (Andrew), Megan (Michael), and Samantha; one great-grandson, Theo; as well as by his brother-in-law Ralph (Ang); sister-in-law Marlene; and many nieces and nephews.
