I saw Mr. V while walking my dog five years ago. He was running like the wind through the park.
He was my teacher and I truly respected him.
I was almost fifty at the time he sped past me and I yelled out,"Hey Mr. VanKoughnett!"
We spoke about the old days and core body strength. I'm still trying to get the core thing to happen.
Mr. V had enough initiative and energy to get ten men in shape.
The best to all that know and care.

Shannon,
I would like to offer my sincere condolences to you and your family on the loss of your father.
We went to high school together (your mother taught me). My sister came across this news and shared it with me. We lost my Dad recently as well (a few weeks before Christmas). I know how hard it can be.
It sounds like your Dad lived life to the fullest with many great accomplishments, leaving a legacy that won't be forgotten. That must make such great memories to remember him by - those are the best kind:)
Take care.
Sincerely,
Lisa (Hodgson) Dentinger

Ron (or Harv as a few of us called him at BCI) was one of my favourite teachers during my years at Bluevale. I am sure my love for reading and English came from him as my teacher for several years. He was a wonderful teacher and had a great sense of humour. He needed it for a lot of us! We were so glad to be able to reconnect with him on Facebook and then at our get together in 2017. So nice to see him and catch up. We checked in every once in awhile to see how he was doing and hoping for that miracle. He will be sadly missed by all. My condolences to the VanKoughnett family. He made a difference and for that you should be proud!

Mary Angela and family,
My deepest condolences to all of you. All of you, starting with Ron, as a teacher in high school, have intersected with my personal and public life since I was 14! Christian and Sean’s paths have crossed your family too!! Ron was a strong man who loved his family fiercely. His loss will be deeply felt I know. I lost my Dad in November so I know how hard these last few months must have been. I cannot make it to the funeral times but my heart is with all of you. Hoping to connect in person soon. Let us know if we can do anything at all to help.
Sherry Freund, Christian Lemke and Sean Lemke

Ron was always a supportive and inspiring precence at Canadian Duathlons and on Team Canada. His enthusiastic passion for the sport of Duathlon was a joy to have around at races! Pictured is Team Canada at the 2011 Gijon Duathlon World Championships!

My heart goes out to both of you and your entire family as you grieve the loss of Ron! Winnie the Pooh says...”oh how lucky am I, to have had someone sooooo special in my life, that it makes saying good bye sooooo difficult!” Boon and I are in Florida so will miss the service. I just wanted to let you know we are thinking of you and sending lots of love your way!

Mr. VanKoughnett was a gentleman and a scholar. As an English teacher, he was approachable, funny, open-minded and kind. My years at Bluevale were made more memorable for having him as a teacher. Being able to re-connect with him at our 40th reunuion in June 2017 was incredible. I was so sorry to hear of his passing. It is a great loss to his family, friends, and former students. He will be missed but his legacy lives on!
