OPP Officer Ron Boudreault lives in Kirkland Lake, Ontario. On Dec 9, 2015 my mother, whom I had been taking care of at home, passed away while I went to get her and I coffee. I returned to the home and later learned that she had suffered a diabetic seizure that she didn’t recover from during the short time I was gone. Four years earlier, I had lost my father in the same home due to Crohns Disease so finding my mother this way was such a heart breaking moment in my life. After calling 911, a few officers showed up but Officer Boudreault was so wonderful and professional, he made an awful situation bearable...
...He went out of his way to bring me to my eldest son's house so that I wouldn’t be alone telling him what happened. Officer Boudreault's professionalism and his compassion was never forgotten and I have such respect for officers like this. In times of tragedy, first responders truly do make the difference in how people get through things, and in this case when I truly thought I was losing my mind, he made it so much better for myself and my sons. He is honestly in the line of work he was meant for and he definitely helps people in their time of need - we thank him.
