Ronn Wilson, age 79, of Dundas, ON, died peacefully on August 21, 2026 at the Juravinski Hospital.
He is survived by his children, twins Candice and Courtnay; beloved grandson Niza; partner Linda Bury, and brother Ross Wilson. He is predeceased by his parents Lloyd and Joyce Wilson.
Dad was a hard worker who liked to keep busy. His career was varied and included bank work, selling tires, and running pet stores. But he really fell into his stride with financial planning, first with Standard Life and then with Wilson Financial Services.
Dad was a man who enjoyed life’s simple pleasures: a cup of coffee, going for a drive, sipping wine on a patio with loved ones, and when he could no longer golf, selling golf balls for charity at the Chedoke Golf Club. Dad may have been a man of few words, but he chose those words carefully. He was a loving father and grandfather and a loyal friend.
Dad will be missed by so many, including his friends and the many clients he served through Wilson Financial Services. Many of them became like family over the years. He bent over backwards to make sure they were looked after.
A special thank you to the doctors and nurses at Juravinski Hospital. They took very good care of dad and enabled him to die with dignity.
A casual, drop-in celebration of life will be held on Saturday, Sept 5th, from 2pm-5pm at the Collin’s Brewhouse in Dundas.
In lieu of flowers, feel free to make a donation to the Juravinski Hospital or the Canadian Cancer Society.
Peacefully at home on August 20th, just shy of his 90th birthday. Dave leaves behind his wife Jean of 62 years, sons John (Suzanne), Ian (May) and his grandchildren Cole and India. The family would like to give a special thank you to Mick for his care and kindness to Dave over the last few years. R.I.P. Baby Bird Cremation has taken place.

Our beautiful mother, Palina Ljucovic, passed away on August 19, 2026, at the age of 82, surrounded by the family she loved. Predeceased by her husband Zef and their first daughter Svetlana, she is survived by her four children Elizabeth (David), Vera (Philip), Paul (Sheri-Lynne), and Sophie (Rory), and by nine cherished grandchildren: Lauren, Carolyn, Hannah, Trent, Lavinia, Brock, Lorelai, James, and Aidan.
Born on February 14, 1944 in Podgorica, Montenegro, Palina was the beloved daughter of Marija and Gjeka Djelosevic. She grew up adored by her parents and extended family, spending summers on the family farm picking blackberries, visiting the market, and caring for her beloved pets. A bright student, she excelled in school, earned top academic awards, and proudly became one of the early women in Podgorica to graduate from university.
Palina married Zef in 1962. After the loss of their first child, they welcomed two more children before immigrating to Canada in the late 1960s. There they grew their family to four children and settled in West Hamilton, then Dundas. She worked as a pastry chef at St. Joseph’s Convent, becoming known for her beautiful tiered cakes adorned with her signature floral designs.
Palina taught her children the value of hard work, education, and perseverance, encouraging them to dream beyond their circumstances. Her home was always open – filled with relatives, laughter, lively debates, and the comforting smell of her eastern European cooking. Her heart was generous, and her love and support unwavering.
Our mother was a woman of principle, warmth, and boundless love. She gave and never took. She will be deeply missed.
Rest in peace, sweet Mom. May Dad welcome you with open arms.
