Obituary of Ronald Gabriel Patrick Hanna

HANNA, Ronald Gabriel Patrick, 81, of Halifax, passed away Monday, January 29th, 2024, at Victoria General Hospital. Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, he was the son of Gabriel Jobe Hanna and Edna Dorothy Hanna. In loving memory of Ronald (Bicky), loving father, devoted husband, grandfather and great grandfather whose vibrant spirit enriched the lives of all who were fortunate enough to know him. One of Ronald's greatest joys was spending quality time with his family. Whether it was a simple evening at home, sharing laughter and stories, or exciting adventures together, he cherished the time spent with his loved ones. Sports, music, and dancing were not just interests for Ronald; they were his lifeblood. An avid sports enthusiast ( Inducted into the Maritime Sport Hall of Fame in 2015), he shared the thrill of victories and the camaraderie of competition through his passion for hockey, golf, running and every sport he engaged in. His passion for music and dancing added a rhythm and melody to family gatherings, turning them into timeless memories etched in our hearts. His impact, however, reached far beyond family, touching the lives of friends, colleagues, and acquaintances. Atlantic Canada's Golf News would like to thank the golf fraternity as it has continued to be receptive and supportive of the publication over the past three decades. Ronald is survived by his wife of 31 years, Patricia Hanna; son, Robert Ronald Hanna; step-son, Brad Adam Bodnarchuk; daughter, Sherry Louise (Hanna) Hatfield; stepdaughter, Tasha Marie Bodnarchuk; brother, Douglas Wayne Paul Hanna; sister, Dorothy Ann Sliming; grandchildren, Lindsay & Kirby Hatfield, Alyssa Ward-Smith, Jordan Taillon-Hanna, Mikaela & Mason Shauli, Lena & Cole Bodnarchuk; great-grandchildren, Elliot, Liyla, Raelynn and Lainey.
