Visitation is at the Moorefield Community Centre from 7-9 tonight then from 1-4 and 7-9 tomorrow.
The funeral for Ron Wooddisse is Saturday at the Drayton United Church.
The above obituary was from www.am920.ca farm news
Ron was president during the BSE crisis and helped keep the OCA and provincial politicians on an even keel. I can only imagine the extra stress the BSE crisis would have added to the position, a thankless one at the best of times. I always appreciated Ron's forthrightness . Often blunt often controversial but always what he strongly felt. He gave a great interview and good sound bite clips for radio. He helped advance the Ontario Beef industry in a difficult period.He will be greatly missed
