Grandpa you will be sorely missed. I wish Steven and baby Lucas could have known you better.

“The real secret of Happiness is not what you have or what you receive; it’s what you share.” – Unknown
Uncle Ron may never have known this quote…but he lived it every day.

We are really going to miss you little brother, but we are happy in the knowledge that you are now at peace. I know you went to heaven ahead of us, so when the rest of us get there, you can show us where all the good fishing spots are.
We will forever be in our heart.

As a kid, Uncle Ron had the ability to make some nonsense sound so magical and factual that a person had to believe it. I remember thinking he was the smartest man alive…then Mom and Dad would tell me the truth as Ron chuckled from the sidelines!
Big, Little And Cat says
