So long Ron, a bit late to say farewell, but just found out. You were a really good guy, and had a heart of gold. You are missed for sure, rest in peace mate.

I am very terrible saddened to find out this morning the passing away of Mr. Mahlberg my Lawyer for the past several years. Today, again, I had a need to utilize his expertise services and is when I discovered this sad news…

It is my intent to write that he was a great person and helped me with my legal needs and will miss him greatly…to his family, I wish you all the very best in life and I know what Ron meant to you all. God bless you all.

I was very sad to hear of Ron’s passing. I met him when we lived in Parkdale going to grade 8 and 9 at QEJHS, but lost touch when my family left town. Years later, our paths crossed again when we both had become lawyers. The little guy with the quick quip had grown into a true gentleman, in every sense of the word, but had lost none of the sense of humour that distinguished him as a kid. Nothing meant more to him than his family and friends, and doing his all for them. My condolences and hopes that he’s breaking par somewhere, with a big grin on his face.

Dear Elaine

My thoughts are with you during this very sad time in your life. Thinking of you Lainey.

I had the unique distinction of knowing Ron in 2 separate manners, as Elaine’s cousin and as a fellow lawyer. I probably saw him more than anyone else would have imagined both in the court house – though usually wandering in the area of the courthouse – and at family gatherings. I liked Ron. I will miss him. I admired his joie de vivre, his reperoire of jokes and his patience with life. I will miss him.

Sincere Sympathy on your loss of a wonderful Husband and Father. Ron is holding court today in Heaven. God has one of the best up there. Always so helpful to me in my business, lending a hand with everything. We will miss him. Our prayers are with you all,

Love Stan and Midge

Elaine & Tara, please accept my sympathy for your great loss. I have a bad cold or Melvin and I would have been there today. I enjoyed Ron’s company at work, he was well liked by everyone, had a wonderful sense of humour and was always willing to help out(especially when we couldn’t fix our office machines). I will always remember the good times we all had at the office dinners and how Ron always had us laughing. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

“Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice (Jesus) and come out.” John 5:28,29

“The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.” Ps. 37:29

I was saddened to hear of the passing of Ron. He was a true gentleman, and a fine advocate on behalf of his clients. I will miss discussing aspects of life with him.

It was with great sadness that I learned of the death of Ron. He was a great and caring guy, and made a huge difference in the lives of those he touched. The world was better because he was here; it is less without him.

Sincere condolences Elaine and all of your family.

Murray Ball

My sincere condolences to the Brown and Mahlberg families.

That’s two of the funniest and kindest kids from our little corner in Parkdale lost within a year (and both from cancer).

It is clear that Ron gave you all lots of reason to be very proud of his accomplishments, and his kindness shows through all of your comments.

Sending warm thoughts to you during these difficult days.

Dear Elaine, Jessica, Lorraine, Dave and friends and family of Ron,

I’ve received word of Ron’s passing from far away and am so sorry for your loss. Ron always approached his work with intellectual rigour and great compassion. He was a very fine person and I hope that your undoubted joyful memories of him will bear you up in this sad time.

PS: He’s probably in Heaven right now playing golf:)

I am so terribly saddened to hear of Ron’s passing. My thoughts are with Elaine and his family.

Ron was always a quiet, soft spoken man who had so many admirable qualities and traits. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to cross paths with Ron so many years ago. Simply, he was a remarkable human being.

Ron will be missed by all whose lives he touched in some way.

Liz Madgett

Dear Elaine,

We were both sorry to learn of Ron’s passing. Our hearts and prayers go out to you and your family.

We have many fond memories of you and Ron at our conventions and company get togethers. He was one of the “good guys” and we really enjoyed his company.

We will be out of the city on Sunday or we would have been there to give you a hug and help celebrate his life.

Love,

Ron and Jean

I would like to extend my condolences to Elaine and family on the loss of Ron. Ron was a great guy and fine lawyer. I will miss him.

Steve Wojick

We will miss a great colleague at the Bar, who epitomized the fine tradition of the Calgary Criminal Bar in conducting himself in a professional, zealous and yet respectful and friendly fashion. We’ve lost one of the people I always looked forward to meeting at the Courthouse. My condolences to friends and family.

Patrick M. Horner, Barrister

I was saddened to hear of the passing of such a fine lawyer and true gentleman. Ron’s wit, humility and friendly manner will truly be missed around the Courthouse. I wish to pass on my condolences to his family and many friends.

Rick Muenz

I was very sorry to hear of Ron’s passing. I knew him professionally – I was a year behind him in law school, had files with him and saw him from time to time in court. I have to say that I always enjoyed dealing with him – whether it was work related or just to chat as we passed on the street. I’m sure he will be missed.

Colleen Nicholls

On behalf of myself and all of the members of the Criminal Defence Lawyers Association of Calgary (CDLA), I would like to pass on our deepest sympathies to the Mahlberg family at this difficult time.

Ron was known as a smart and practical defence counsel who always worked hard for his clients. His pleasant demeanour and sharp wit will be missed at the Courthouse.

With the greatest of sympathy,

Michael C. Dinkel, President of the CDLA

I spent a month with Ron in Drumheller doing a murder trial, and I can say that Ron knew what he was doing. On a personal level, Ron was approachable and good company. I have missed him at Court, and I am saddened by his passing. My deep felt condolences go out to Mahlberg family, for the loss the of one great guy.

If we are very lucky in our earthly lives, we get to share the journey with a friend we love. When I think of Ron I hear Elaine’s laughter. When I think of Ron I remember his closeness to Elaine’s Dad Larry (Mo) and to her Mother, Amy, my sister..and the many times they relied on Ron’s values and good sense, his sense of humor and his friendship. When I recall our last phone conversation just after Christmas,

I can hear the pride in his voice as he

spoke of Jess and Elysse, and ‘grandma’

Elaine.. When I enquired after Dorian Ron went on about the Landry Family and the shared Christmas, and the excited Skylah, and about how comforted and pleased he was to know that his family had the support of Dorian’s…. ‘a Good

Guy,’ ‘a really good guy’.. Whenever I had seen Ron in the past it was always at family things, no chance to talk, I was pleased to hear him speak of his family in his soft conversation, humor injected and sincere. Ron…

May you enjoy the embrace of the loved ones who wait..over the rainbow. Thinking of you and yours Elaine,

Love, Aunt Marna
