| The following message is issued by the North Dufferin Baseball League Executive upon learning of the death of Ron Pegg:
"The Executive of the North Dufferin Baseball League is saddened to learn of the death of Ron Pegg who died yesterday.
"Ron was a passionate individual for the sport of baseball in the Province of Ontario serving on executive positions in the York Simcoe Baseball Association (YSBA) and the Ontario Baseball Association (OBA) for decades. In fact, his tenure with the OBA had him and his wife, Cathy, working from the "office" inside their Flesherton area home.
"His passion continued with the founding of Flesherton Minor Baseball and the Western Ontario Baseball Association, and the OBA newsletter, "Baseball Bits" started in 1979.
"Ron also contributed extensively in our league coaching both senior and junior teams in Flesherton, with a number of the junior teams winning championships in the 1990s. He also served on the executive, joining as vice president in 1997 and serving as president in 1998. His wisdom and support of the NDBL was immeasurable with our affiliation with the YSBA and our autonomy.
"As a result of his tireless efforts to promote the sport, he was a life member of both the OBA and YSBA in addition to being inducted into the OBA Hall of Fame in 2016 in the Builder Category.
"On behalf of the league we extend condolences to his wife Cathy, his children Jamie, Rob, and Stacey, and his family and friends."
