We were so sorry to hear about Ron. He sure knew how to live to the fullest — we watched his determination to spend as much time as possible with his family and keep doing the activities he loved. We have really enjoyed your family’s friendship and hospitality so much at the lake. God bless.
Ronnie was a very special part of my teen years along with Bink and Telli. I will always remember all the fun we had and how he always made every one feel at home. Ronnie was a wonderful man who was greatly loved and will be missed very much.
We were so sorry to hear of Ron’s passing. We were inspired by his courageous battle and will miss seeing him on our week-ends at the lake. Our prayers and thoughts are with your family.
